Note If the test environment changes, for instance if there is an increase in humidity or if you are going to test at a

different altitude, make a probe check to verify that the system measures correctly.
1. Use a new probe tip, or make sure that the probe tip has been cleaned and dis-
infected, before you place it in the test cavity. This is to make sure that the

taminated.

The probe is checked for occlusion and leakage. If the probe check result shows
a value of 1.9 - 2.1 mmho/cc/ml at 226 Hz, the probe is OK. If not, we recom-
mend that you make an admittance calibration.
Additional probe admittance checks can be performed. See the MADSEN
Zodiac Reference Manual.
If there is a probe error
In case of a probe error, the probe may be occluded or faulty.
• If the probe is occluded, clean or replace the probe tip.
• If the probe is faulty, contact an authorized service department for repair.
