Probe/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. Current versions
of the 24” T-handle probe come with a replaceable
tip (item 2266). With these probes, the cable and
shaft do not need to be replaced.
An “OR” reading on the LCD (see Appendix 5) may
indicate a failed probe or simply that the probe has
come unplugged from the meter. See Checking
Probe Connection (p. 16) 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.
I. Removing a direct-insert probe
The 8” probe and older 24” probes do not have a re-
placeable tip. The replacement procedure is outlined
below.
1. Remove the black nut from the strain-relief
where the cable feeds into the meter.
2. Remove the tan nut on the cable end of the me-
ter.
3. Detach the probe cable plug from the socket in
the meter.
4. Remove the tan nut and large o-ring. For the 24”
probe, also remove the strain relief from the lar-
ger plastic assembly.
