Performing a Reset
The pulse induction measuring principle is liable to drift
with temperature and other external influences. Performing
a reset corrects for any drift and ensures accurate meas-
urements. We recommend a reset every 5 minutes or so.
On power on, the Profoscope re-
minds the user to perform a reset.
Hold the Profoscope in free space (no metal within a
40cm / 16” sphere) and press the reset key. The dis-
play rotates for approximately 2.5s while the reset is car-
ried out.
