8. Reinstall the front case to the rear case.

9. Screw in the 4 screws that were removed in Step 3.

10. Reinstall the rubber boot if it is being used.

11. Calibrate the new sensor as described in “Calibration Mode” on 

page 31.

Replacing the Sensor Membrane and Charcoal Filter

WARNING: Replace the sensor membrane and charcoal filter in a 

non-hazardous environment.

NOTE:

An alligator or belt clip may be installed on the instrument but is 
not shown in the figures in this section.

When replacing the sensor filters, it is recommended that you replace all 
filters at the same time.The HS-03 and OX-03 only have a sensor 
membrane. The CO-03 has a sensor membrane and a charcoal filter.

1. Verify that the 03 Series is off.

2. Remove the rubber boot, if installed.

3. With a small Phillips screwdriver, carefully unscrew the four screws that 

attach the rear case to the front case. 

4. Turn the instrument right side up. The screws are not captive and will 

fall out. Be sure not to lose them.

5. Remove the front case from the rear case.
