1. Product Overview
The OSS W01 V2.0 Inductance Tester is a compact and precise tool designed for diagnosing coil inductor faults on mobile phone motherboards. It utilizes electromagnetic induction for quick and easy troubleshooting, helping to pinpoint faulty components without complex procedures.
2. Setup
- Power Connection: Connect the tester to a 5V power source using a Type-C cable. This can be a power bank or a charger.
- Device Under Test: Ensure the motherboard or device you intend to test is powered on. The tester requires the target circuit to be active for accurate readings.
3. Operating Instructions
- Initiate Test: Press and hold the detection button on the tester.
- Position Sensor: Align the induction position (the narrow tip) of the tester with the inductor coil you wish to test. Maintain a distance of approximately 1-3 millimeters from the inductor. Do not press tightly against the component, as some inductors may not be insulated.
- Read Indication:
- If the detection indicator light (green LED) is on or flashing, the inductor is functioning normally (coil is not broken).
- If the detection indicator light is off, the inductor is faulty (coil is broken).
Important Notes:
- This tool only tests coil-type inductors. It does NOT measure resistors, capacitors, diodes, or transistors.
- The LED may light up when near metal heatsinks or shielding shells. This is electromagnetic interference and does not count as a valid test result.
- Ensure the device under test is powered on for accurate readings.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your OSS W01 V2.0 Inductance Tester, please follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Keep the device clean and dry. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Store the tester in its original packaging or a protective case when not in use to prevent physical damage.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device, as this will void any potential warranty and may cause damage.
6. Troubleshooting
- No Indicator Light: If the green indicator light does not illuminate when testing an inductor, ensure the device under test is powered on and the tester is properly connected to a 5V Type-C power source. If these conditions are met, the inductor is likely faulty.
- False Positive (Light On Near Metal): If the indicator light illuminates when the tester is near metal heatsinks or shielding shells, this is due to electromagnetic interference and does not indicate a valid inductor reading. Ensure the probe is positioned directly over the inductor and away from other metal components.
- Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the probe tip is held 1-3mm away from the inductor. Touching the inductor directly or being too far away may lead to inaccurate results.
7. User Tips
- This tester is particularly useful for quick, preliminary diagnosis of inductor issues on mobile phone motherboards, especially for identifying open circuits in coils.
- Its compact size makes it convenient for on-the-go repairs or for use in tight spaces.
- While effective for its intended purpose, remember its limitations: it only tests coil-type inductors and is not a substitute for a full multimeter or oscilloscope for comprehensive circuit analysis.
