APPENDIX V - PROBES,
FIXTURES, AND TARGETS
FOR SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
The standard 801 probe is useful for the majority of blow-molded
plastic bottle applications, however several additional probes have
been designed for measuring special applications. A brief description
is provided in this section for each special probe. New probes may
have been designed since the publication of this manual, and
Panametrics will evaluate requests for special modifications. Please
contact Panametrics for more complete information regarding
applications, price, and delivery.
802 style probes have a second button labeled [MAX], which is located
next to the [QCAL] button. The [MAX] button can change its
functionality to perform either the [MEAS], [SEND], or [SAVE] key
functions via the Communications menu. This versatile feature is
beneficial when access to the front panel or footswitch is inconvenient.
The connector at the base of 802 probes is different from that on 801
probes, so probe cables 852PC or 852CC must be employed with 802
probes.
Probes with special tips are designated by a three digit suffix (for
example, 802PR-102). The Magna-Mike 8500 utilizes all of the
probes listed below. The gage automatically identifies these probes by
type, and thus knows which targets and look-up tables to assign.

The -102 probe is a standard probe with a standard 1/16"
(1.6mm) radius tip. The tip, however, has been chemically hard-
ened to help resist tip wear from abrasive materials. This probe
is employed with the three (3) standard target balls.
