Battery Replacement Procedure 

To replace the battery in the PEL 102/103, disconnect the 
instrument from all electrical sources and sensor probes. Then 
follow these steps: 
 

1.  Apply tape to the control buttons on the PEL front panel (see 

Figure 1). This tape will ensure that the buttons remain in 
place when you remove the PEL’s front cover from the back 
cover. 
 

2.  Tape the PEL’s endplates to the back cover (see Figure 2). 

This helps to ensure that the endplates remain attached to the 
back cover when you remove the front cover.
