A. MEET THE DIGITAL TRUPOSITION PROBE:
The patented TruPosition Probe is a powerful tool that performs rapid hole-
location measurements and more.
The Probe is designed to be inserted into a fixed block on your check fixture.
The floating tip of the TruPosition Probe can freely move in two directions,
and it will self-center when it locates a hole located in your part. The dual
displays on the Probe will report the “A” and “B” axis of the feature on your
part.

Your TruPosition Probe is easy to maintain:
Cleaning:
To clean the probe, use a lint-free rag to wipe the shaft.
Do not use any lubricants or oils on the TruPosition Probe.
If the tip movement is sticky, refer to the section of this manual titled
“Changing the Tip”. That section will describe how to remove the tip and
clean the mating surfaces of the probe and tip.
Storage:
Store your TruPosition Probe in a dry location, using the supplied storage
