Re-tighten the Socket Cap Screws.
Tighten the Hex Nuts, using a 3/4" wrench, on the top of the Locking Collar one half turn. These nuts should
never be over tightened. Their major function is to apply light pressure on the chevron packing to
ensure a seal between the seal housing body and the insertion shaft.

REMOVING THE OID™ SENSOR
To remove the OID™ sensor, first disconnect all
electrical connections to the OID™ enclosure.
Make sure that the line pressure is below 100 psi.
Then, slowly and with caution loosen the Socket
Cap Screws on the Lock Down Collar.
CAUTION: Once the Socket Cap Screws have been
loosened, the OID™ shaft may push out from the
line. If pressure in the line is above 100 psi, it may
do so with enough force to cause bodily injury or
damage to the instrument.
Slide the OID™ sensor upward until it stops and the
probe rests inside the seal housing. FIG. 3-10.
Next, close the Full-opening Ball Valve tightly. The
OID™ sensor may now be unbolted from the sys-
tem.
