Wipe the probe tip with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the probe.

What is the overall length of the probe?

The overall length of the R-TECH 524602 test probe is 104.5mm.

Troubleshooting

Probe tip does not make firm contact

Ensure the probe is inserted fully into a compatible 4mm socket. Check if the socket or probe tip is obstructed or damaged. Clean the contact surfaces.

Inconsistent readings during testing

Verify that the probe tip has a secure connection to the test point. Check the connection of the 4mm lead to the probe and to the measuring instrument. Ensure the circuit under test is stable.

Protective cap is difficult to remove or attach

Gently twist the cap while pulling or pushing to attach/detach. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the cap or probe.
