Ensuring that a solenoid valve coil is working properly, or detecting a faulty one, is an important step in many repair or installation projects. Up until now, service technicians and installers have had to rely on a variety of different methods and tools for that step, including a popular magnetic field-detecting keyring. But now there’s something much more accessible and convenient.

The new Magnetic Tool app makes testing a solenoid valve coil quick and easy and is available globally for Android and iPhone.

You always have the right tool with you because it’s just a tap away. Not only is it more convenient, it’s also more precise. Magnetic Tool provides information about the magnetic field of an AC or DC coil in a solenoid valve. It can also indicate the rotation direction of certain types of pumps, helping you determine the correct way to install them in a system.

Magnetic Tool also allows you to take a picture of the faulty component, so you can document the repair procedure and share it with your customers.

Magnetic Tool is part of the Danfoss CoolApps Toolbox, a collection of mobile apps designed to help installers and service technicians with their daily tasks. Find out more at CoolApps.Danfoss.com.
