Probe. In this instance, the function is used as a confirmation that the Tablet/Laptop can
communicate a command to the Probe and that the Probe will respond via the long range
Bluetooth communication through the associated COM Port.
Once you have selected Get Revision of the Probe, communication between the Tablet and
Probe is established. Ensure that the Probe is in Awake Mode by pressing the push button of
the Insulator Tester Probe. See Figure 10. If required, select Get Revision of the Probe after the
Probe is awakened.

connectivity and functional communication are verified, the Probe can be switched off. The
Probe will be switched on again in the field when scanning is to begin.
Before going out into the field for an insulator scanning session, ensure the Positron Insulator
Tester and Tablet/Laptop are fully charged. The batteries of the Tablet/Laptop are best
maintained for longer life by recharging before the battery charge depletes below 50%.
