Check
Back and bottom sensing face bare; mounting holes clear; lead uncut with its connector on.
What you're looking at
The inductive probe is a small rectangular block with two mounting holes at the top and a lead out of it. It senses the steel bed without touching it, for QGL and the bed mesh.
Caution
Rev D+ / LDO: p.143's "cut the probe wires to about 150 mm" does not apply. This kit's probe lead comes pre-cut and crimped for the Nitehawk PROBE port, Step 08.50. Tape before fitting; too much tape stops the probe triggering, so peel some off if it fails in Ch 13. src
