INSTALLING A DIFFERENT STYLUS
NOTE – The following instructions assume that you have already removed the magnetic
shield from the sensor head on the DektakXT profiler. If this is not the case, follow steps 4 - 6
in the previous section.
1 Tower up to the Home position
to allow room for maneuvering.
2 Locate the stylus exchange tool. If its green circle is visible, rotate the thumbscrew in either direction to
disengage the magnet and replace the green circle with a gray one. (This means that the magnet is NOT
engaged as shown in Figure 3-21.)
WARNING.
Always store the stylus in its protective case. Failure to do so can result in
damage to the stylus.
