Checkline 6000TCX Series - Manual (Page 18)

19
The PosiTector 6000 consists of a gage body
and a probe. A wide selection of
interchangeable probes are available. Each
retain their own unique calibration information. 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 5 minutes of no activity.
This continuous measurement feature is intended to allow careful
probe placement on small or odd-shaped surfaces. Ignore all
readings taken before the probe is properly placed.
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. First, the probe 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 automatically attempts
a measurement using the eddy current principle. If the coating is
non-conductive over metal, a reading is displayed with the letter
"N (see also N Lock pg.8).
