    The carrying case has storage space for the probe, manual and accessories. Applications: One major application of the Model 257D is the monitoring of electrostatic charge accumulation. As charge increases on the surface of a material, the electrostatic field in the vicinity also increases proportionately.

    mounted by means of two threaded inserts installed in the back plate. Please refer to outline drawing Figure 6-1 for location. Care must be exercised when selecting screw length. The tapped holes in the inserts are blind holes. They will accommodate five full #4-40 threads.
  • Page 10: Cables

    E. Cables: Probes are normally equipped with 10 foot cables and subminiature D connectors which mate with a connector recessed in the back panel of the instrument. Extension cables are available in lengths up to 1000 feet – the maximum length permissible. These extension cables may be ordered in any length (up to 1000 feet) by part number 1036/12-nn, where nn is the length in feet.
