3.2.15 Adjusting Sample Probe and Replacing Wipe block
The relative position between the sample probe and wipe block has influence on the
test results. In the accessory kit, there is a sample probe localizer, as Figure 8-28
shows. You need to use the localizer to adjust the position of the sample probe if
you have replaced the wipe block, or observed motor error, or wrong test result. Also,
as required by regular maintenance, you should use the localizer to adjust the
position of the sample probe monthly.
