Usage of the accessories 

Telescopic rod

 

The telescopic rod increases the reach of the user working with the 
probes. The probes are jammed in a rotatable clamp and the plug 
connection is plugged in the socket near the clamp. The connection to 
the SONAPHONE RD is made with the cable of the telescopic rod. The 
length of the telescopic rod is variable from approximately 1,7m till 
approximately 3m. In addition the black union nut between outside and 
interior pipe of the telescopic rod has to be loosened. 

 

 

 

CAUTION! 

For the use of the telescopic rod notice point 8 of the general safety 
instructions for the SONAPHONE RD.
