Three Steps to Selecting a PosiTector 6000

1. Select Substrate
   • F – for ferrous metals (steel and cast iron)
   • N – for non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, etc.)
   • FN – for all metal substrates — Gage automatically recognizes the substrate and takes a measurement
2. Select Measurement Range and Probe Style
   • Removable built-in probe can be detached and replaced with any one of a wide variety of probes. Available ranges and probe styles are shown in the ordering guide below.
3. Select Body Model
   • Basic Model
   • Standard Model
   • Memory Model
   • Features of each model are listed in this features comparison chart.
