LLT100

Laser level transmitter

2. Dismantle the flange using two hook spanner wrenches with 

a diameter of 100 mm. The user provides these wrenches.

Figure 30 

Dismantling the flange with spanner wrenches

3. Remove the window O-ring.
4. Clean the window, the O-rings, the flange adapter and the 

flange. Replace the O-rings, if damaged.

NOTICE

Do not dismantle the window.
Opening the instrument voids the warranty.

5. Lay down the flange on the table and install the O-ring.
6. Screw the instrument on the flange by hand.
7. Make sure that the window O-ring remains well in place.
8. Tighten firmly with the hook wrenches.
9. Put back the four set screws.
