Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose an 8mm probe over a 5mm one?
The 8mm body is significantly stronger. It better resists bending and physical damage in harsh environments, leading to longer service life.
Is the cable connection really that strong?
Yes. The patented CableLoc design is tested to withstand 75 pounds of force. This prevents cable pull-out, a common failure point in less robust probes.
Can this probe handle high temperatures?
The standard version works up to 177°C (350°F). For hotspots up to 218°C (425°F), you must order the Extended Temperature Range (ETR) option at time of purchase.
How does it perform in oily or wet conditions?
It has a standard Viton seal. For applications where oil could wick along the cable interior, specify the FluidLoc cable option to completely block fluid ingress.
My previous probe had tip separation issues. Is this fixed?
Absolutely. The TipLoc molding process creates a superior bond between the coil and PPS tip. This specifically addresses the cracking and separation seen in older probe designs.
What’s the main cause of premature probe failure?
Aside from physical impact, exposure to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) can damage the internal pressure seal. Always store and install within the specified temperature limits.
