    Using the Rotating Hotwire Probe 1. Take the hotwire probe and rotate it to the “UP” position (see A above). The back of the SP565 is marked to indicate the rotation direction for”UP” and “DOWN” (see B above). 2. The hotwire probe can then be extended like an antenna. Pull up on the sen- sor housing to extend the probe (see C above).
