Separate Probe Gages consist of
a gage body and a probe. A wide
selection of interchangeable
probes are available. Each retain
their own unique calibration infor-
mation. All Gage bodies accept all
probes. To disconnect, power-down the Gage and
pull the plastic probe connector horizontally (in the
direction of the arrow) away from the Gage body.
When powered-up the PosiTector 6000
automatically determines what type of
probe is attached and does a self-check.
Probes “sense” when they are near metal
and immediately attempt a measurement
followed by another every 2 seconds.
They stop when removed from the vicinity
of metal and power-down after 3 minutes
of no activity.
The continuous measurement feature is only
intended to allow careful probe placement on small
or odd-shaped surfaces. Simply ignore all readings
taken before the probe is properly placed. Do not
drag the probe sideways.
Standard probes
These constant-pressure, stainless
steel probes are hermetically sealed
to be totally waterproof - ideal for
underwater use. Hold them at the 2
knurled rings and push the outer
spring-loaded sleeve down.
FN Combination Probe
An FN probe combines the
capabilities of both "F" and "N" probes. Switching
between the two is automatic. The probe first
attempts a measurement using the magnetic
principle. If the coating is non-magnetic over steel, a
reading is displayed with a letter "F". If not, the probe
