Boosts the five wire optic probe
signal to help ensure rack loading despite marginal
probes, wiring, or connectors. |
 |
The output pulse voltage exceeds the supply voltage,
ensuring loading at weak racks.
|
|
Eliminates no-loads due to weak signals from fogged
or iced probes.
|
|
Installs between the last probe and the rack socket.
|
|
When installed after the last probe
on a pup, it prevents probe damage due to swapping
the sensor plug and the lighting plug.
|
|
Increases the maximum number of probes the loading
rack will operate.
|
|
Compatible with Load Anywhere™ and Intelli-Check™
outputs.
|
|
Compatible with all testers.
|
|
Easy installation - wires up like a probe.
|
|
Small size allows installation into a socket
enclosure.
|
|
Cast enclosure available for convenient mounting of
the Booster and the socket.
|
|
Operation from -45 to +70 oC ambient
temperature.
|
|
Two year unconditional parts warranty.
|
|
Low Price.

The ProbeBooster is a device which
functions similar to a dry five wire optic probe,
but it has a much more powerful output. It is wired
as the last probe in the system, so that its output
drives the loading rack.
|
|
The problems encountered in probe
systems will be either a failed or marginal probe,
socket, or wiring. If a component of the system has
failed, the ProbeBooster will not help since there
is no signal to work with. This is also necessary to
maintain the safety of the system. However, in many
cases the problem is due to a marginal component
such as a weak probe. In these cases, the
ProbeBooster will allow continued loading despite
the fault.
|
|
A fault which gives a marginal
output (as indicated by a yellow POOR return on the
tester) can be caused by either a weak probe or a
probe or wiring fault which draws too much power. If
the problem is a weak probe, then the ProbeBooster
works by amplifying the weak pulse up to a level
which the rack will accept. If the problem is due to
too much power drain causing insufficient supply
voltage on the red wire to allow even a good probe
to produce a good pulse,. the ProbeBooster works by
boosting the supply voltage internally and using
that boost voltage to generate a good pulse. The
ProbeBooster charges itself when the pulse is off to
conserve the supply voltage, and will work with a
supply voltage as little as 8 volts, less than half
the nominal 20 volt supply.
|
|
The ProbeBooster is fully protected
against voltages applied to any of its inputs or
outputs. Plugging the 12 volt lighting plug into the
sensor plug will not damage the ProbeBooster or any
upstream probes.
|
|
The ProbeBooster is fully protected
against the environment; it is potted to prevent
moisture damage and will work over the full outside
temperature range. It is small enough to mount
inside most socket enclosures.
|
|
The diagram above shows an example
of a 3 probe wiring diagram for the ProbeBooster.
Note that if the trailer is a B-train and the probes
are wired so that the pup has the first probes, then
two ProbeBoosters should be used; one after the last
pup probe to protect against plug swapping, and one
after the last lead probe to drive the rack.
