8 Appendix D - Equipping an Instrument
AML-3 instruments are shipped from the factory with sensors installed and configured. Users
are generally not required to remove or install sensors in the course of normal operation.
However, there are instances where a user may install or uninstall a sensor such as modifying a
sensor payload, returning individual sensors to the factory for calibration, or sending a sensor in
for service. AML series instruments and sensors are designed to be user-swappable for
maximum flexibility.
8.1 X2Change™ Sensors
X2Change™ sensors are installed on the AML-3 sensor end cap. There are 3 sensor ports
available and 1 port for an optional UV Antifouling system. Sensors are installed or removed by
hand with no special tools required. Most combinations of X2Change™ sensors are permitted
(
See notes on installing sensors
).
8.1.1 Removing Sensors
1. If a UV antifouling system is installed, the retaining clip must be removed prior to
removing the sensor cage.
