A healthy probe in the middle of its range will show approximately -10.0 VDC. If the voltage is near 0V or -24V, the system likely has a short or an open circuit in the cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ2: Can I use this 9.0-meter probe with a 5.0-meter Proximitor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2: No. The total electrical length of the probe and extension cable must match the calibration of the Proximitor (e.g., a 9.0m probe system requires a 9.0m Proximitor). Using mismatched lengths will result in significant linearity errors and incorrect vibration readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: What is the benefit of the PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) tip?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA3: The PPS tip provides exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability.
