Gently pull the used textile mesh from the Velcro tape. See also "Cleaning the

membrane [

}

49]".

If necessary, wipe the membrane with a cloth.

Attach the new textile mesh under slight tension to the Velcro tape.

Press it on the opposite sides of the Velcro tape. To avoid wrinkling, pull the

textile mesh as evenly as possible.

Make sure that the textile mesh does not protrude from either side of the Velcro tape

and the function of the chamber sealing is not impaired.

8.7 Replace membrane support with membranes

Upper membrane support

Send in for repair or order, order number

200006376

Lower membrane support

Send in for repair or order, order number

200006368

Required tools

T25-TORX® screwdriver

During a measurement, two mesh-protected membranes nestle from the top and from

the bottom in the test object due to the pumping action.

The membranes may be leaking, so that accurate measurements are no longer

possible. Causes of damage can be sharp edged objects, aging or wear. Remove the

membrane support including the damaged membrane.

If you want a repair, please send the diaphragm carrier with membrane to the

manufacturer. Due to the high quality requirements at the manufacturer, the

membrane support is re-tensioned, the components are tested and then a leak testing

is performed.

Dismantling the

membrane support

At least one membrane no longer functions properly or has to be replaced for

reasons of age.

Open the measuring chamber and determine which membrane is damaged.

For this you can remove the mesh, see "Cleaning the membrane [

}

49]”.

If it is necessary to remove the upper membrane support including the damaged

membrane, unscrew the 16 screws with a T25-TORX® screwdriver.
