Precipitation Sensor

Manual

15.1.4 Replacing the Upper Part of the Housing, including Upper Heating and

Upper Temperature Sensor

Open the housing as described.

Unplug the clamping connector to the upper heater and set the old housing aside.

Take the new housing (Id-No. 32.15184.011010) and plug the clamping connector to the heating unit back onto

the heating board.

When handling with the upper part of the housing, make sure that the housing edge is not damaged.

Close the housing as described.

15.1.5 Replacing the Protective Grid

Open the housing as described.

Carefully lift off the inner protective cylinder (Id-No. 32.15184.006010). When lifting the protective cylinder, be

careful not to bump it against the weighing unit. Carefully position the new protective cylinder. Do not allow the

protective cylinder to be jammed with the cables between the load cell and the main board.

Close the housing as described.

15.1.6 Replacing the Mounting Screws (M8x20)

Tools required: 13 mm jaw, ring or socket wrench

Remove the 3 old hexagon socket screws M8x20 (Id-No. 35.09331.540300) and replace with new ones.

Open the housing as described.

Level the device by means of the spirit level and fix the sensor by evenly tightening the hexagon screws on the

base of the mast.

Close the housing as described.

15.1.7 Replacing the Knurled Screw

Remove the old knurled screw (Id-No. 35.04641.525000) and replace with a new one.

15.1.8 Replacing the Level

Tools required: Pliers

Adjuvant: Loctite 274

Open the housing as described.

The spirit level has a screw thread and can be turned using a pliers.

Wet the screw thread of the new level with some Loctite 274 and screw in the level by hand.

Close the housing as described.

15.2 Repairs in the Workshop

The following repairs are much more complex than those described above and must therefore be carried out in

a specialist workshop.
•

Replacing the heating board

•

Replacing the external temperature sensor

•

Replacing the M12 connector, 4pin, A-coded

•

Replacing the M12 connector, 4pin, T-coded

•

Replacing the M12 connector, 4pin, D-coded

The sensor must be switched off before any repair work!

If screws or small parts are lost during repair, they can be bought as a whole packaging unit at LAMBRECHT

meteo GmbH.
