Trentatrons
are supplied with spacers and/or shipping tape
on the magnets to prevent magnet movement due to a sudden
jolt. The Trentatron magnets are not glued in place.
They hold themselves in place and the magnets will fly together inside
the frame, only if dropped or
if the slotted channel is allowed to snap to the bottom of the
slot, without a pipe or spacer in place or shipping tape in
place. This arrangement is helpful if you let your
Trentatron get attached to too many things and permits future
upgrades to higher grade magnet materials.
It is very difficult to separate these magnets if they
become attached to one another. They must be slid side
ways and apart using the supplied spacer. If the TAT-21
magnets are allowed to attach to one another you have
390 pounds
of pull force holding these magnets together. It's no
small trick to separate two of these Bad Boys.
These Neodymium magnets will partially demagnetize each time
they exceed 175 degrees F. They will loose all magnetism
if allowed to exceed 310 degrees F.
The 5-Gauss Line in the fully assembled Trentatron is 6
Inches from the back of the channels and 1 inch from the side
plates. Personnel with pacemakers should not handle the
magnetic units.
Handle magnetic units with care! The magnetic
units are extremely strong. Injury is possible if the
magnetic units are allowed to snap together or if nearby metal
objects are allowed to be attracted to the magnets. Each
magnet of the TAT-21 has a pull force of
195 pounds. Be
aware and be prepared, don't allow these things to slip and grab
something or somebody.
It is highly recommended that you keep the individual
magnetic units in their shipped configuration until you actually
separate the individual parts for attachment around the pipe.
In no case should you attempt to be re-assembled these devices without
first placing the devices around the pipe or having the supplied
spacer in place.
