Pairing the 6Probe and the Vantage

1238888

The 6Probe requires Vantage MCU firmware v2.11.0 or later.

The 6Probe may not pair with the Vantage or operate accurately outdoors, in direct sunlight, or in high Infrared (IR) light conditions.

The operational range of the 6Probe is 2.5 meters (8ft) to 15 meters (49ft) - 30 meters (98.4ft) spherical working volume. All setup, probe management, and measurement must be done within the operation range.

Wirelessly connect the 6Probe to the Vantage and create a pairing. The first pairing will store the 6Probe serial number in the Vantage and measure the position.

1. Track the laser with any SMR away from the Home position.

2. Acquire the laser beam with 6Probe and track it out to at least 2.5 m (8 ft) from your Vantage.

3. Press any of the 6Probe ’s four buttons to start the pairing process. The Status LEDs will flash blue during this process.

4. Hold the 6Probe stable until the Status LEDs switch to green and the pairing process completes.

If the Status LEDs switch to blinking red, the pairing process has failed. Press and hold any button to repeat. Release the button once the pairing process begins.

If the middle Status LED switches to solid red, the pairing has also been lost. Power off/on the Vantage and the 6Probe and try the pairing again. If this continues, contact your Customer Service Representative by Phone, Fax or Technical Support.

You will lose the pairing if:

• You track the Vantage behind an obstruction that blocks the RF signal.

• The 6Probe battery completely drains.

• You track the 6Probe out of the operational range.

• The Vantage is powered off.

Pairing the 6Probe with Multiple Vantages

You can use a 6Probe with multiple Vantage systems. However, you must power off/on the 6Probe before pairing with another Vantage.

You do not need to compensate existing probes when you pair the 6Probe to another Vantage.
