HOW TO TEST YOURSELF
Troubleshooting
Don't reduce the size of the copper pipes. Keep all wires as
short as possible. Use fresh batteries. Don’t try to make the
Syncrometer all in one box. The test plates are separate for a
reason. Keep the lead to the test plate box short, however, and
neither it nor the wires to the speaker should pass near other
electrical components like the batteries.Using The Syncrometer
Fill a saucer with cold tap water. Fold a paper towel four
times and place it in this dish. It should be entirely wet.
Cut paper strips about 1 inch wide from a piece of white,
unfragranced, paper towel. Dampen a paper strip on the towel
and wind it around the large metal handhold to completely
cover it. The wetness improves conductivity and the paper
towel keeps the metal off your skin.
- Turn the Syncrometer and speaker to ON.
- Start with the substance and tissue switches OFF.
- Test the plate connections, if you haven't done so recently.
Touch the handhold to the substance plate briefly, then the
tissue plate. There should be no crackle from the speaker.
Turn the substance switch ON. Touch both plates briefly
again. Only the substance plate should crackle. Now turn
the tissue switch ON. Both plates should crackle. Turn
both plate switches OFF again. Check your connections
once a week.
Pick up the handhold, squeeze it free of excess water.
Pick up the probe in the same hand, holding it like a pen,
between thumb and forefinger.
