1)
After replacing the damaged O-rings, clean the leakage bores so that any further escape of process medium can be
detected.

Functionality only available on versions with the safeguard “Immersion lock without a mounted sensor”.

To protect against the penetration of media from outside into the sensor holder, we recommend using the protec-
tive cap ZU0759. We recommend rinsing the sensor before removing it in order to prevent entrainment of the
process medium in the area of the sensor holders.
