Separate gauge - remove probe and refit.
If error persists, return to Elcometer*.
#2 - PROBE
Corrupt data output from probe.
Integral gauge - return to Elcometer*.
Separate gauge - try new probe.
If error persists, return to Elcometer*.
#3 - PROBE

UNSUPPORTED
a) Probe is dual FNF, but gauge is ferrous
only, or non-ferrous only. See page 33.
b) Old gauge software does not support

cannot be used with a dual FNF probe.
b) Return to Elcometer* for software
upgrade.
