Using Reddy with Sharck Probes

Nulling the Sharck Probe

1.  Position the Sharck probe on the plastic portion of the normalization plate.

Note

The normalization plate should be on a steady, flat surface and shall be at least 10 cm (4 in) from any 

ferritic surfaces.

2.  Apply even pressure on the probe.

Note

To balance the probe, we strongly recommend that you press the probe onto a non-metallic surface, 

instead of keeping it in the air. This avoids having one or only a few fingers compressed at a lower 

position than neighboring fingers, which can slightly affect the probe’s balance.

3.  On Reddy’s keypad, press the Probe nulling button (see page 3).

Alternatively, in the front stage view, on the 

Home or Calibration ribbon, tap Null.

Calibrating the Sharck Probe

1.  In the front stage view, on the Calibration ribbon, tap Assisted Sharck.

2.  Position the Sharck probe on the plastic portion of the normalization plate (REFPL-CAL-SHARCK-

AAL-LG).

Note

The normalization plate should be on a steady, flat surface and shall be at least 10 cm (4 in) from any 

ferritic surface.

3.  Apply even pressure on the probe.

4.  In the Sharck Assisted Calibration dialog box, tap Air reference block.

When the necessary data is acquired, a green check mark appears next to 

Air reference block.

5.  Position the Sharck probe on the aluminum portion of the normalization plate.

6.  Apply even pressure on the probe.
