GE Panametrics manufactures a variety of moisture probes for the
Series 1. The most commonly used are the M Series, TF Series, and
Moisture Image Series probes. If you ordered an M and/or TF Series
probe(s), GE Panametrics has entered the necessary probe setup data
on a preassigned channel.
IMPORTANT: See the Calibration Data Sheets, shipped with the
probes, to connect the probes to their corresponding
channels. If a probe is connected to the wrong
channel, the meter will display incorrect data.
Probes are identified on the Calibration Data Sheet by a serial
number. The serial number is also engraved on the hex nut of the
probe. Figure 1-9 below shows a probe with the serial number on the
hex nut.

The Moisture Image Series Probe does not require any
preprogramming because it stores all the necessary setup data in its
electronics module. Therefore, you can install the Moisture Image
Series probe on any available channel. Once you install the probe,
you must activate the probe on the installed channel, as described in
Activating and Changing Probes in Chapter 2.
If you are using a combination of moisture probes, you should
connect them in the following order:
•
M Series probes
•
TF Series probes
•
Moisture Image Series probes
