External Probe (optional)
An optional external probe is available (part number MO252) that allows the user to reach
into areas that would be difficult to access with the meter’s built-in electrode pins.
1.
The input socket for the external probe is located at the top of the meter.
2.
The plug and jack are keyed so that the plug can only fit in the jack one way.
3.
Turn the plug carefully until it lines up with the jack and then firmly push the plug in
place. Do not apply undue force or try to twist the plug side-to-side.
4.
The meter will continue to operate as described in this manual.
