Probes & extensions

Probe compatibility: Full line of standard and custom probes available — More information on Probe compatibility

Hall sensor compatibility: Front panel programmable sensitivity and serial number for user supplied Hall sensor — More information on Hall sensor compatibility

Extension cable compatibility: Calibrated or uncalibrated probe extension cables with an EEPROM are available from 10 ft to 100 ft — More information on Extension cable compatibility

Lake Shore calibrated extension cables maintain the same accuracy as the Model 455 probe.

The uncalibrated version involves the operator leading the matching probe data file into the cable PROM directly from the Model 455 front panel. Additional errors caused by the uncalibrated extension cables are ±0.02% of field reading error and 1ºC temperature reading error.
