Conductivity Tester Instructions
- Preparing the Tester:
- Take the conductivity tester included in the set.
- Remove the red cap from the tester. You will now see two electrodes.
- Testing the Fabric's Conductivity:
- Carefully place both electrodes on the fabric surface.
- Important: Ensure that both electrodes are touching the fabric. One of the electrodes should not be hovering in the air or only partially touching the fabric, as this will break the contact, and the test will not work.
- Run the electrodes across the fabric. If you see flashes of light on the red part of the electrode, this indicates that the fabric contains a conductive material.
- Confirming the Conductive Material is Silver:
- It's important to remember that the light indication on the tester may detect any metal, not just silver.
- To confirm that the fabric contains silver, you need to perform a wash test.
- Wash Test:
- It is known that regular metals rust when exposed to water and do not withstand washing. After washing, rust stains will appear on the fabric containing ordinary metal.
- Wash the fabric according to the care instructions on the label.
- If no rust appears on the fabric after washing, then the material contains silver, not ordinary metal.
This instruction will help users ensure that the strips in the fabric are made of real conductive threads and not a printed design, and that these threads contain actual silver, not another metal.
