10.3 Care and use of Pitch-Catch Probes
Pitch-Catch probes are sensitive measurement devices. Use care when handling them The tips are sensitive and if
dropped, will likely, significantly damage the probe beyond use. Also, at the very least the tip may be broken within the
Transmit or Receive tower if care is not used. This is not a user serviceable part and is not covered under warranty.
The probe can be sent back to the factory for repair at prevailing rates.
To replace the tips when worn, simply pull them from their housings and replace with new tips. It may be helpful to
moisten the tip prior to insertion to settle into the internal suspension rings. DO NOT FORCE the tip in or element
damage WILL occur.
Probes offer several modes of use. There are 6 threaded holes on the bottom surface. To use the probe more within a
spring loaded, constant pressure condition, we install 2 guide feet just behind the probe tips and a single foot at the
rear (cable) end of the probe. This provides a relatively stable scanning position. On the other hand, if you prefer to
scan with more control on probe pressure move the guide feet into desired position. For instance, a single foot in the
rear will give a standard Tri-Point configuration providing a stable scanning condition.
