Sensor/Tip Replacement
If the probe cannot be calibrated, or if it does not
hold the calibration for a reasonable amount of time,
the probe or tip must be replaced. The
24”

handle
probe comes with a replaceable tip (item 2266). With
these probes, the cable and shaft do not need to be
replaced.
An
“
Temperature out of Range
”
message on the LCD
may indicate a failed probe or simply that the probe
has come unplugged from the meter. See

(p. 15) before replacing the
probe or tip.
Replacing a tip
(24”
probes only)
The replaceable tip (left) is designed to thread
in and out of the end of the probe. A new tip
has two flat faces on opposite sides. This al-
lows the tip to be tightened onto the probe with
a pliers or
5/16”
wrench.
