ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 17. Maintenance WARNING! Maintenance should be performed only by a qualified person who has proper training and fully understands the contents of this manual. The following guidelines should be followed when changing the battery: 1. Turn off the unit before changing the battery. 2. When replacing the battery, take note of its orientation. The connectors on the circuit board should go into the matching slots in the battery.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 4. Remove the four screws on the back of the instrument by turning them counterclockwise. 5. Hold the ToxiRAE Pro PID down and separate the rear cover from the front by pulling from the top and tilting it open without disconnecting the ribbon cable connecting the two halves. Ribbon cable 6. Carefully disconnect the battery from the battery connectors on the circuit board by pulling it toward the bottom of the instrument. Be careful not to damage the ribbon cable.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 7. Before installing a new battery, visually inspect the contact pins on the ToxiRAE Pro PID circuit board to make sure they are not bent. If they are, carefully straighten them before installing the battery. Install the new battery (part number G02-3004-000), making sure it is inserted fully. Make sure the battery connectors on the circuit board go all the way into the connector slots in the battery. 8.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 11. Replace the top cap and tighten the Philips screw. Important! Charge the battery completely before using the ToxiRAE Pro PID, and check the calibration before placing the instrument in service. 17.2. Proper Battery Disposal The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive (2002/96/EC) is intended to promote recycling of electrical and electronic equipment and their components at end of life.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 17.3. Removing And Installing The Rubber Boot The protective rubber boot on the ToxiRAE Pro PID must be removed before the sensor top cap or back of the instrument can be removed. When removing the boot, follow these steps outlined here. 1. Flip up the tab on the belt clip on the rear of the instrument. 2. Remove the Philips screw that holds the clip in place. 3. Stretch the bottom corners of the boot and gently slide the bottom of the boot over the rear of the ToxiRAE Pro PID.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 17.4. Filter Replacement A filter is permanently attached inside the ToxiRAE Pro’s top cap, which helps to keep debris and moisture out. This filter should be inspected periodically, and the cap and rubber insert should be inspected for damage. If the filter is dirty or the cap or rubber insert shows signs of damage, replace the entire instrument cap assembly, including the cap, screw, filter, and the rubber insert (part number G02-0305-003, package of three).
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 3. Once the top cap is removed, install the new top cap assembly. 4. Place the new rubber insert onto the ToxiRAE Pro PID, being careful to align the insert correctly and that it is not distorted. Also, make sure that you do not press on the fan. 5. Press the new top cap onto the ToxiRAE Pro until it is fully seated. Check to see that the pin on the front side of the cap went into the corresponding groove on the front side of the instrument housing.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 17.5. Cleaning Or Replacing The PID Follow the instructions for removing the top cap in the previous section. 1. Gently lift out the PID module with your fingers, being careful not to damage the fan: Fan Sensor module 2. If the module requires replacement (because the lamp does not illuminate, or the module has been used past its expiration date), place a new module into the slot, being careful to match the indexing keys. The sensor can only go into its slot one way.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 5. Once the cap is removed, set it aside. 6. Now lift the sensor electrode panel from the module: 7. Clean the sensor electrode panel in a solution of methanol lamp cleaner (included, along with cleaning swabs, in a PID Lamp Cleaning Kit, part number 500-0014010, package of 10), and allow it to dry. 8. Clean the lamp’s window with a cleaning swab dipped in methanol lamp cleaner, and allow it to dry.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 10. Reassemble the sensor module by placing the sensor electrode panel back in place and firmly pressing the cap back onto the top. 11. Place the sensor module back into the ToxiRAE Pro PID. Make sure the index points are aligned (it can only go in one way). Match index points on sensor module with ToxiRAE Pro PID 12. Carefully place the cap back onto the ToxiRAE Pro PID and tighten the screw. Note: Always calibrate the ToxiRAE Pro PID after replacing the sensor module. 17.6.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 3. Inspect the new fan and make sure its two electrical pins are straight. 4. Align the fan so that the indexing key (the raised rectangular portion) on its body matches with the keyway in the slot and the electrical pins and carefully slide into the contact points at the bottom of the slot.
ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 17.7. Cleaning The Exterior Occasional external cleaning of the instrument with a soft cloth is recommended. Do not use detergents or chemicals. If necessary, you can use a damp cloth (water only). It is a good idea to install the Calibration Adapter before cleaning the ToxiRAE Pro PID’s housing, to keep dirt, dust, or moisture away from the sensor openings and to keep the filter clean.
