4. When the foot plate is in place, open the Pawkit
and carefully insert the blue Mylar sample tem-
perature sensor tab between the front of the foot
plate and the elastomer.
Note: if the Pawkit does not open properly it means
either one of the tabs is not in its retainer notch or
one of the springs is not under the rod in the
retainer. The foot plate must be removed and reas-
sembled as described above.
Sensor Filter Cleaning/Replacement
You may periodically need to clean the porous
white sensor filter if it becomes dirty. To do so,
apply distilled water or isopropyl alcohol to a clean
lint-free cloth or Kimwipe and gently clean the surface of
the filter. Your Pawkit was shipped with 3 spare filters. If
the filter has become contaminated or requires removal
for any reason, contact Decagon for instructions on
removal and replacement. If the filter has come out of the
sensor, contact Decagon for instructions for reinstallation.
