FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: What is a Telescopic Probe Extender?

Answer

The Telescopic Probe Extender allows you to increase the reach of your PosiTector® 6000 FS, NS, FNS, FXS, FNDS, NAS and FTS probes. This lightweight, portable rod allows you to extend the reach of your PosiTector 6000 separate probes up to 124 cm (49") eliminating awkward and uncomfortable motions while measuring above your head or below your feet. A holder for the PosiTector gage body is included, which is ideal for singlehanded operation.

Q: What are some typical uses?

Answer

The Telescopic Probe Extender is ideally suited for the user who takes frequent coating thickness measurements above their head or below their feet. The 124 cm (49") reach and articulating probe holder makes it easy to position the probe in hard to reach areas including...

Steel Decking
Ballast Tanks
Ship Hulls
Pipelines

The detachable probe holder is ready to be integrated into robotic or drone testing systems.

Q: What are the dimensions?

Answer

The Telescopic Probe Extender is 47 cm (18.5") when collapsed and can extend up to 124 cm (49"). The 10 cm (3.34") headroom allows for insertion into narrow pipes and other hard to reach areas.

Q: Is the Telescopic Probe Extender easy to use?

Answer

Yes. The lightweight, portable probe extender can be used one-handed— keeping the other hand free for climbing. It conveniently collapses to 47 cm (18.5") for easy portability. The articulating/swiveling probe holder features a soft foot contact point providing secure probe placement even at odd angles.

Q: Why is the probe holder removable?

Answer

The detachable head features a ¼"-20 thread to integrate seamlessly into drone or robotic testing systems. Since this thread pattern is typically used on cameras and tripods, longer extensions ('monopods') can easily be sourced (longer probe cable recommended- call for pricing).
