Model P1000B Probes for Heavy Metal

75 mm Extended Range Dual Probe Set

Prime’s most powerful probe, the Model P1000B monitors steel thickness from .1 mm to 7.5 mm (.004” to .300”). The P1000B is a cast aluminum housing with internal electronics encapsulated in epoxy. On light gauge metal, the transmitter and receiver separate to a maximum of 75mm (3”). Calibration is quick and easy when used with one of Prime’s new metal detectors (DS150, DS1500, DS1510 & DS1520) and the push-button teach feature. Eight #10-32 threaded holes provide an easy way to mount the probe. The Model P1000B Probe features IP67 (NEMA 6P) seal rating and is standard with 3 m (10’) of a twist pair, shielded, vinyl cable. The specified cable is designed to provide high noise immunity. Maximum distance from sensor to control approaches 30 meters (aprox.100 feet).

The Type “B” probe is an early version of the P1000B. The Type “B” is used on earlier designed amplifiers (Models DS11, DS12, DS13 & DS20) that require three individual 16 gauge stranded conductors (green, white & black) to wire the probe into the signal generation circuit (oscillator). The maximum distance of the Type “B” from probe to amplifier is less than 10 meters.

New Prime controls (DS150, DS1510, DS1520, DS1522) do not use the probe in the oscillator. This earlier practice introduced signal drift caused by heating and cooling the probe. Type "B" probe operate with new controls by connecting only green and black leads to new control. While drift is not a factor with new controls, the Type "B" may introduce noise that the P1000B eliminates.
