Figure 3-1: Model BDS 3960 Front Panel

Access to the electronics, the sensor, and sampling system is

accomplished by loosening the thumbscrews on the front of the
analyzer. The whole assembly will slide out toward the front. Allow
clearance for the assembly to slide out when maintenance is required.
Leave clearance of about 20 inches so that whole assembly can be pulled
out of its case. See Figure 3-2.
