The probe must be periodically zeroed using the
ZERO menu option to compensate for both extreme
temperature and probe wear effects. Before using,
allow the probe to reach ambient temperature. Wipe
the probe clean of couplant.

temperatures, it is recommended to ZERO the probe
in the working environment.
If measurements will be made on rough substrates

it is recommended to periodically ZERO the probe to
compensate for wear.
