MAInTEnAnCE AnD REPAIR

There are no user-serviceable parts in the WMP-Series me-

ters except the batteries in the WMP104.

Battery  Replacement. 

When  the  “low  bat”  indicator  ap-

pears,  the  batteries  should  be  changed.  Either  six  each 

AA alkaline cells are required, or two each C lithium cells 

with integrated wiring harness, depending on power option 

ordered with meter. To change the batteries, first remove 

the four screws which hold the top cover in place. Be care-

ful not to lose the washers. Move the top cover to one side 

and remove the foam retainer which covers the battery tray 

or pack.

> For units with AA alkaline batteries, remove the old bat-

teries from the battery tray, and replace them with fresh 

ones,  taking  care  to  follow  the  polarity  indicators  in  the 

battery tray.

> For units with C lithium batteries, carefully unplug each 

of the two battery wiring harness connectors. Slip the bat-

teries out from under the elastic retainer, and replace them 

with the new batteries. Reconnect each of the two wiring 

harness  connectors.  The  connectors  are  indexed  for  cor-

rect installation. 

Replace the foam retainer, then put the top cover back in 

place. Warning! Use Extreme Caution not to trap wiring or 

other  assembly  parts  under  the  housing  seal  -  this  may 

cause  an  ingress  of  water,  voiding  the  product  warranty. 

Put the four screws with washers back and tighten them 

firmly.  Environmental  and  Safety  note  -  take  care  to  dis-

pose of all batteries in accordance with Federal, State, and 

Local regulations.
