Replacing the Sensor Filter

and SO

Sensors’ Filter: The H

S filter disk is tan in color. The filter should be replaced

every 6 months.
HCN Sensor Filter: The H

S filter disk is dark gray in color. The filter should be replaced

every 6 months.
PH

Sensor Filter: The humidity filter disk is white in color. The filter should be replaced

every 6 months.
NH

Sensor Filter: The humidity filter is white in color. The filter should be replaced every 6

months.
1. Verify that the SC-04 is off.
2. Remove the rubber boot, if installed.
3. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the 4 screws that attached the front case to the

rear case.

4. Turn the instrument right side up. The screws are not captive and may fall out. Be sure not

to lose them.

5. Remove the front case from the rear case.

6. Turn the front case upside down.
7. If the sensor stayed in the front case, remove the sensor.
