Connecting the probe

Your meter includes a dissolved oxygen/temperature probe. The probe cable has a
notched 6-pin connector to attach the probe to the meter. 

NOTE:

Do not substitute other probes.  

NOTE:

Keep connector dry and clean. Do not touch connector with soiled hands.

To connect the probe: 

1.

Line up the notch and 6 pins on the top of the meter with the holes in the probe
connector. Push down and turn the locking ring to lock into place.

See figure below.

2.

To remove probe, turn the locking ring on the probe connector. 
Pull probe away from the meter.

CAUTION: Do not pull on the probe cord or the probe wires might disconnect.
