2. Safety Information
- Always handle electronic components with care.
- Ensure the device under test is powered off before handling, unless specifically required for testing with the W01 tester.
- Avoid direct contact of the tester's probe with live circuits other than the intended inductance coil.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the tester.

5. Setup
To set up your W01 Inductance Tester:
- Connect the tester to a 5V power source using a Type-C cable. The blue power indicator light will illuminate, indicating the device is powered on.

6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to test an inductance coil:
- Ensure the W01 tester is powered on (blue light illuminated).
- Power up the mainboard or component under test.
- Press and hold the detection button on the tester.
- Bring the sensor end (induction position) of the tester close to the inductance coil you wish to test. The probe tip should be approximately 1 to 3 millimeters away from the coil.
- Observe the detection indicator light (green LED):
- If the green light illuminates (either steadily or flashing), it indicates that the inductor is functioning normally and the coil is intact.
- If the green light does not illuminate, it indicates that the inductor is malfunctioning or broken.

Important Notes:
- The W01 Inductance Tester is designed to measure only coil inductance. It does not support testing of resistance, capacitance, diodes, or triodes.
- Avoid touching metal heat sinks or shields with the probe tip. If the light triggers upon contact with such components, it is due to interference and is not a valid detection.
7. Maintenance
- Keep the tester clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.
- Store the tester in a safe place to prevent physical damage.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or humidity.
8. Troubleshooting
Problem: Green detection light does not illuminate when testing an inductor.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
- Inductor Malfunction: The most common reason is that the inductor coil is broken or malfunctioning.
- Insufficient Power: Ensure the tester is properly connected to a 5V Type-C power source and the blue power indicator light is on.
- Incorrect Distance: Make sure the probe tip is within 1-3mm of the inductor.
- Interference: Ensure the probe is not touching metal heat sinks or shields, which can cause invalid readings.
9. User Tips
- Observe Indicator Lights: Pay close attention to both the blue power indicator and the green detection indicator. The blue light confirms power, while the green light's behavior (on/flashing) indicates the inductor's status.
- Proper Probe Placement: For accurate results, ensure the probe tip is very close to the inductor (1-3mm) and not making contact with other metallic components that could cause interference.
