DMP30 / DMP40 Connecting/replacing probe
6.2 Replacing the probe – connecting a different probe
You can replace a defective probe with a new probe of the same type or connect a
different probe type to the one previously used.
ATTENTION – Data loss
If a new probe is assigned to a batch, all previous measured readings of the
batch will be lost since the measured readings previously stored in the batch
were measured using a different probe and a different calibration.
For data backup, save the batch or the previous measured readings of the
batch in Tactile Suite, the link for download and further information can
be found on page 78.
Refer to the following notes whenever you want to replace a defective probe
You c anno t transfer the calibrations from the old, defective probe to the new
replacement probe.
With the new probe, you must perform the required calibrations and store them
in the probe. This requires the new probe to be assigned once to the open batch.
You can create the calibrations you need in the calibration menu and save them
in the new probe.
You must assign the new probe to all batches created using the old, defective
probe, as well as the corresponding calibrations from the new probe.
If the probe connected to the DMP-F-Probe-Adapter is a replacement, we rec-
ommend deleting all calibrations from the old, defective probe from the DMP-
F probe adapter before assigning the new replacement probe. This prevents
the unusable calibrations from the old, defective probe unnecessarily taking up
memory space in the DMP-F-Probe-Adapter, , delete all calibrations from the
probe, see page 74.
Before you start
The gauge has been switched off ([ ]) and a batch created with the old (defec-
tive) probe was opened beforehand.
To assign the connected probe to the open batch
1. Connect the new probe to the gauge, 33.
2. Switch on the gauge: [ ].
