HOT PROBE TIPS
A variety of tip configurations are available. The TEAS is
furnished with a Blunt shaped tip. Other available
shapes are Conical (included), Spherical and Dolphin
Nose. Different shapes aid in repeatable metal contact at
a perpendicular or tangent angles. Custom shaped tips
can be fabricated to your specifications. Give us a call to
learn more.
Replace probe tips when the tip is marred, misshaped, or
no longer providing stable readings. Confirm that the tip
is completely screwed tightly into the probe shaft. Loose
tips could give poor readings. Use of a handheld crimping tool is recommended for proper
torque without scratching tip. Do not tamper with machine screws on the probe shaft. Remove
Alloy Sorter from power when changing tips.
Tip Removal
1. Remove power from the TE-3000 by unplugging.
2. Allow equipment to cool.
3. Hold pliers (Koslow Part No. TE-3000-F) in a horizontal
position.
4. Insert the old probe’s tip into the jaw of the pliers.
5. Twist probe handle counter-clockwise until the tip can
fall out.
6. Discard old tip. See the demo video on YouTube.
New Tip Insertion
1. Insert a new tip by hand. Twist clockwise. Be careful not to damage the threads. The new tip
should be inserted about halfway by hand. A very small drop of dielectric silicone can be used
to lubricate the screw threads.
2. Hold pliers in a horizontal position. (Koslow Part No. TE-3000-F)
3. Hold TE probe (in other hand) vertically, with the tip up and the cord down.
4. Align the tip into the jaw of the pliers. Gently squeeze the probe tip. Do not crush the probe tip.
5. Rotate the handle part of the probe only. Do not rotate the pliers. The pliers should remain
perpendicular to the probe.
6. The tip should be installed firmly. Small scratches on the tip will not inhibit performance.
