LENS REPLACEMENT 

 

Friction from materials traveling through pipes may wear out lenses over time.  If lenses 
are too worn and are no longer working properly, they need to be replaced.  This short 
guide shows you to replace the lens on a detector. 

 

 

Remove the cover of the detector and disconnect all external wiring. 

 

 

Remove the nuts from each corner, take the lens grounding wire from the corner bolt, and 
then carefully remove the internal circuitry.
