Fitting Probes (Separate Versions Only) - Elcometer 456 Operating Instructions Manual

2.3 Fitting probes (separate versions only)

A probe must be calibrated once it has been fitted -
see "Calibration adjustment" on page 23.
2.3.1 To fit the probe
Align connector keyway and push
in direction shown. The connector
locks automatically.
Note: The design of the probe
connector allows some movement
between the probe and the gauge.
This is intentional and does not
affect measurement performance.
2.3.2 To release the probe
Grasp knurled section and pull
gently away from the gauge. The
connection will unlock and the
probe will release.
2.3.3 To fit the PINIP™
Twist the PINIP™ until the
connector locates. Taking
care not to cross the
threads, lock the probe by
turning the locking ring 1½
times clockwise, or until
tight.
To ensure correct transfer of data from the
probe and detection of the new probe, the
gauge must be switched off when
separate probes are fitted.
