About this app

Magnetic Tool is now part of the new Ref Tools app, our essential, all-in-one mobile app for air conditioning and refrigeration technicians. Ref Tools gives you access to the tools, guidance, support, and information you need—on the job and in the field.

Ensuring that a solenoid valve coil is working properly, or detecting a faulty one, is an important step in many repair or installation projects. Magnetic Tool makes testing a solenoid valve coil quick and easy. Just open the app, hold your smartphone up to the solenoid coil you want to test, and watch for the wheel in the app to start spinning. If it rotates, your solenoid valve is good to go.

If a solenoid valve is in a tough-to-reach space, you can also set Magnetic Tool to provide audio or haptic (or both) feedback when it detects a magnetic field. That way, you can check on a valve without seeing your screen, so you can maneuver your phone any way you need to.

Magnetic Tool has two modes: Simple and Advanced. With Simple mode, all you need to do is open the app and start testing—it's that simple. Advanced mode allows you to adjust the threshold tolerances of the magnetometer, which is most often used to reduce or eliminate interference from other nearby solenoid valves.

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. See the full collection at CoolApps.Danfoss.com.

Ratings and reviews

I said how could this work, but a colleagu uses it so decided to give it a try. Yea, too goo to be true. I've had it say something was running when it was off (computer system said it was off and so did my eyes) and just now it said something was off when it was on (computer sysem showed it running and I can hear the motor going). 3rd shift used and already giving false readings.

This is a must have tool for any one doing service involving a Soloniod Control Valve controlled by a Magnetic Soloniod , it is just one of the great apps provided by Danfoss and there well qualified technicians. Check out the other app available. Easy to use and on point everytime thanks for making these available and free of charge

Bloody hell! I never thought that I don't have to use a conventional solenoid valve tester anymore. It makes my commissioning life easier. I don't have to peek on the display to check if my solenoid is energized. Just hearing the sound and vibration is enough! Thank you very much Danfoss!!!
