Replace the sensor cable
The sensor cable can be replaced with a new one in the event of
damage.
A "sensor cable" replacement set is required for this, see Accessories
and spare parts. This contains the required spare parts and tool:
● Sensor cable
● Screwdriver
● 2 protective screw caps
● 2 Elastomer strips or Elastomer frames
● 4 flathead screws
● Gel disks
NOTE
The electric plug contacts of the sensor are exposed during
installation.
The sensor may be destroyed by the electrostatic discharge at the
contacts.
➢ Before installation discharge at a conductive grounded item, e.g.,
a water faucet or a bare heating pipe.
NOTE
No dirt or moisture must be allowed to get into the exposed plug
contacts.
Dirt causes contacts faults, moisture may lead to a short circuit.
➢ Wash and dry your hands. Do not wear powdered gloves. The
powder could become deposited in the plug contacts of the
sensor.
➢ Place the sensor on a clean, dry and stable surface.
NOTE
Incorrect cable replacement may affect sensor performance
Failure to assemble the cable onto the sensor in accordance with the
following instructions could result in an intermittent connection
between cable and sensor and may impact the sensor's performance.
