Guidelines on Probe Operation
and Maintenance
8 .1 INITIAl SETUP
Remove the ProOBOD cable/probe assembly from the shipping container and locate the instruction sheet that is included. This instruction
sheet is important because it contains the calibration coefficients for your sensor cap. After using this sheet for general probe setup, be sure
to store it in a safe place in case you need to reload these calibration coefficients in the unlikely event that they are ever deleted from the
instrument and probe.
A new cable/probe assembly already has a sensor cap installed and the sensor cap coefficients are preloaded into the probe during
production.
Preparing the probe for the first time:
•
A new ProOBOD probe will have a clear protective cover placed over the sensor cap to ensure the cap remains moist during shipment.
Carefully remove this clear cover from the end of the probe by pulling it straight off the sensor. Save the clear cover along with the
sponge for long term storage of the probe. Save the clear cover along with the sponge for storage of the probe.
It is important to always keep your sensor in a moist environment so the sensor cap does not dry out. (See Maintenance and Storage
for more information.)
