NOTE: The electronic circuit of the adapter generates a small amount of heat. For this reason, do not place
the adapter directly under the probe. Depending on the application, using a passive cable to separate the
adapter and the HC2-S or HC2-S3 probe is recommended to prevent heat transfer from the adapter to the
probe and obtain the best measurement accuracy.
