9 Radio Controlled Probe
Since firmware version 16, the QNix 8500 supports the radio controlled probe. Connecting
the probe with the gauge couples the two devices. At the same time, the current charge sta-
tus of the probes rechargeable battery is displayed among the probe information.
The rechargeable battery integrated in the radio controlled probe is automatically charged

After disconnecting the probe from the gauge, the probe enters radio controlled mode. In the
upper display area, the charge status is updated during each reading. Within the status area
