Quadra-Chek ® 5000
Probe rack installation
Set machine zero each time you launch the QC-5000. A repeatable machine
zero position is required to find the probe rack.
Follow the instructions of the probe rack manufacturer to install the probe rack
on your system. Once the probe rack is mounted and it’s position entered in the
QC-5000, it cannot be moved.
NOTE
Mount the probe rack so the current probe can reach each of
the ports, and so there is no probe rack movement in any
direction.
