1. Identifying parts to be replaced
In order not to lose or damage disassembled parts, identify the parts to be replaced from among all
the parts in the sensor assembly. Normally, replace the sensor, metal O-ring and contact together
at the same time. If required, also replace the U-shaped pipe, bolts, filter and associated spring
washers.
2. Removal procedures
(1) Remove the four bolts and associated washers from the tip of the detector probe.
(2) Remove the U-shaped pipe support together with the U-shaped pipe. Remove filter also.
(3) Pull the sensor assembly toward you while turning it clockwise. Also, remove the metal O-ring
between the assembly and the probe. Remove filter also.
(When replacing the assembly, be careful not to scratch or dent the tip of the probe with which
the metal O-ring comes in contact (the surface with which the sensor flange also comes in
contact). Otherwise, the sample gas will not be sealed.)
(4) Use tweezers to pull the contact out of the groove in the tip of the probe.
(5) Clean the sensor assembly, especially the metal O-ring contact surface to remove any
contaminants adhering to that part. If you can use any of the parts from among those removed,
also clean them up to remove any contaminants adhering to them.
(Once the metal O-ring has been used, it cannot be reused. So, be sure to replace it.)
3. Part assembly procedure
(1) First, install the contact. Being careful not to cause irregularities in the pitch of the coil spirals
(i.e., not to bend the coil out of shape), place it in the ringed groove properly so that it forms a
solid contact.

(2) Next, make sure that the O-ring groove on the flange surface of the sensor is clean. Install
the metal O-ring in that O-ring groove, and then insert the sensor in the probe while turning it
clockwise. After inserting it until the metal O-ring comes in contact with the probe’s O-ring contact
surface, properly align the U-shaped-pipe insertion holes with the bolt openings.
(3) Attach the U-shaped pipe to its support with filter, then fully insert the U-shaped pipe and its
support into the probe.
(4) Coat the threads of the four bolts with anti-seize grease and then screw them in along with
the washers. First, tighten the four bolts uniformly by hand, and then use a torque wrench to
tighten all areas of the metal O-ring uniformly, that is, to make sure the sensor flange is perfectly
horizontal to the O-ring’s working face in the probe.
This is done by tightening first one bolt and then its opposing bolt each 1/8 turn, and then one of
the other bolts followed by its opposing bolt, each also 1/8 turn. This continues in rotating fashion
until they are all fully tightened with the torque wrench preset to approximately 5.9 N • m. If they
are not uniformly tightened, the sensor or heater may be damaged.
Replacement of the sensor assembly is now complete. Install the detector and restart operation.
Calibrate the instrument before making a measurement.
