7. DST600 PROBE ID
7.1. Theory of Operation
Probe ID allows a specific probe to be associated with a specific meter. The meter
will only display a temperature when it has the correct probe connected to it. The
primary reason for this association is that in case of a failed probe, it helps prevent
someone from replacing the probe without going through a calibration process. The
unit wil
l display “Prb” indicating an unauthorized probe is being used. To authorize a
new probe, the unit must be connected to the programming or calibration software,
where it is recommended the unit be recalibrated to ensure accuracy. The Probe ID
may be overridden using the Enable Probe ID field. When the box is checked, the
probe ID will function normally. Unchecked will disable the feature. Due to the
technology used, on remote cables with connectors the Probe ID has a limit of about
28 meters (92 feet) maximum cable length.
