Page 25: Theory Of Operation
DESIGN OF THE PROBE KIT The Model PL7004 Probe Kit consists of two principal functional units: the probe and the probe interface. The two units are connected by two pairs of fiber optic (F/O) cables. Power to operate the probe and commands to the probe are provided from the interface on one of the F/O cables. -
Page 26: Optical Receiver/Power Supply
PL7004 Kit 2.2.4 Optical Receiver/Power Supply The probe is powered optically. The laser light is fiber-optically transmitted to the probe. The laser light is received via an efficient photon (light) power to electrical power converter. The electrical DC power is then regulated, split, re-regulated and distributed to power the probe. -

PL7004 Kit 2.3.4 Interfaces (IEEE, RS-232, F/O RS-232, USB) Refer to specific probe kit specifications interfaces to a host. All interfaces are controlled by the control logic 2.3.5 Control Logic The control logic provides operational control and routing of signals. It includes a microcontroller. It functions to route the host commands, received from one specific controller/host interface, forward to the probe, and to route the probe responses backward to the same controller/host interface. - Page 28 PL7004 Kit Rev F...

CAUTION: indicates that failure to follow procedures may result in damage to the equipment. WARNING: DANGER - High Voltage Present: The probe interface assembly operates from AC line voltages which may present a shock hazard. -

A/D conversion and smoothing times. This time is not transmission speed dependent. [This time is field level dependent in certain AR probes, a longer time at low levels. The shortest time is in the sub ms range, longest in the 50 ms range, though it may be extended on some models to improve sensitivity.]... -
Page 31: Guidelines For Use Of Field Probes
PL7004 Kit Axis Offset The location of the center of each sensor element of three axis (X,Y,Z) field sensors is commonly not at a single point in space. This fundamentally has to do with the physical constraints of mounting more that one thing, a sensor and diode, in the same space plus other considerations related to a specific probe design. - Page 32 PL7004 Kit 3.3.2.5 Out-of-Band Response and In-Band Response Considerations Although the specified operating frequency range of a probe may be limited, probes typically respond to signals both above and below their specified frequencies. Users should be alert to unexplained readings that may be caused by unintended fields.

Page 36: Cooling Requirements
PL7004 Kit 3.5.2.2 Probe The probe is designed to be mounted on a non-conductive (dielectric) probe stand. The stand should be supplied with a 1/4-20 non-conducting (dielectric) screw with 1/8 to 1/4 inch thread extending beyond the mounting surface. The probe has two permanently attached short fiber optic cables. Do not attempt to pull on these cables. -

In the event that the kit malfunctions while it is still under warranty, always contact an authorized service representative. Contact AR Customer Service for return authorization before returning any part of the probe kit for repair or replacement. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE The probe kit has been calibrated at the factory and should maintain its calibration for a long period of time if not physically abused. -
