If the probe shields need to be replaced, you may order them from
ETS-Lindgren. Follow these steps to replace the probe shields:
1. Remove the nylon screws from the probe shield.
2. Lift the shield straight up and away from the housing.
Note: Lift the shield high enough to clear the internal antenna
assembly, or you may damage the assembly. Never touch the
antenna assembly. You may transfer a static charge to the
assembly that may distort or disable the measuring capability in that
axis.
3. With the probe in a protective, supportive position, carefully replace the
probe shield by lowering it straight down onto the housing.
Note: Make sure to clear the internal antenna assembly when
lowering the shield or you may damage the assembly.
4. Replace the screws snugly without over-tightening them.
Note: Over-tightening the screws may damage the screw heads. If
you require additional nylon screws, you may order them from
ETS-Lindgren or obtain them locally. Non-conductive screws must
be used for this application. Never use metal screws.
5. Repeat this procedure for the other shields, if necessary.
