4.2.2 Connection to the 86PR-1, 86PR-2, and 86PR-3 Probes
The smaller connector on the 86PC or 86PCC cable connects to the probe. Insert the
cable connector into the probe connector by aligning the positioning key on the
connector. When properly aligned, the connector should engage easily. Once engaged,
simply hand tighten in a clockwise direction until snug.
The Magna-Mike 8600 should be turned off when changing probes. If the Magna-
Mike 8600’s power remains on while a probe is disconnected and reconnected, it must
first be turned off, and then turned back on to correctly recognize the probe. After a
probe is connected, you must also perform a Q-CAL to clear any previous probe
recognition parameters from memory.
Do not use tools to tighten the probe cable. Doing so can cause damage to the probe
cable connector, the Magna-Mike 8600, or the probe.
4.3 Replaceable Wear Tips for 86PR-1 and 86PR-2 Probes
The standard straight probe (Olympus P/N: 86PR-1 [U8470020]), the right-angle head
probe (Olympus P/N: 86PR-2 [U8470028]), and the low-profile articulating probe
(Olympus P/N: 86PR-3 [Q7800004]) for the Magna-Mike 8600 have different
replaceable wear tips. This allows the user to replace the wear surface of the probe
without replacing the entire probe. This is very useful for applications where the
material being measured has a hard or rough surface. The Magna-Mike 8600 will do a
check for probe wear during calibration and prompt the user, if the probe wear tip has
worn below the recommended limits. The user can also access the diagnostic menu
for the Magna-Mike 8600 and select the probe test where the instrument will indicate
the wear of the tip.
