Replacing the Conductivity Cell

1. Turn off the ICS-2000 power.

2. Open the front door and disconnect the tubing from the 

CELL IN

 and 

CELL 

OUT

 fittings (see 

Figure 5-16

, View A). Loosen the two screws on the cell 

front cover. The screws remain attached (see 

Figure 5-16

, View B).

Figure 5-16.  Removing the Cell Front Cover

3. Grip the two loosened screws 

and pull the cell cover toward 
you to remove it from the 
component panel. 

Do not pull 

from the 

CELL IN

 and 

CELL 

OUT

 fittings.

4. Continue pulling on the cover 

until the attached cell assembly 
slides out the front of the ICS-
2000 (see 

Figure 5-17

).
