MAINTENANCE
Filter
The SMC-520 is equipped with a sintered teflon filter to protect the sensing elements from water and
dirt. The filter which is located at the end of the sensor should be inspected periodically, every 6 to
12 months depending on the environmental conditions such as dust or exhaust emissions and
replaced when necessary.
Care must be taken when removing the filter, it is a screw fit and should be removed by hand so not
to crush the filter and the components it covers. Avoid touching the filter with your fingers to avoid
dirt on the Teflon area of the filter.
Cleaning
Clean the probe with a soft cloth and mild detergent, any other chemical cleaner may damage the
sensor and void any warranty.
Calibration
SMC recommends to recalibrate the temperature sensor once a year. The sensor must be sent to
SMC for recalibration. Contact
for return details, quoting the serial number
of the sensor.
General
Check the cable, connector and the installation for potential damage in a regular interval.
