Filter pad replacement
When the filter pads at the rear of the instrument and the
measuring cell are dirty, ventilation and thermal stability of the

Replace the pad after 6 month of use at the latest. An earlier
exchange might be necessary, when the instrument is operated
in a dusty environment.
To replace the ventilation filter, proceed as follows:
• Remove the filter cover.
• Remove the old filter pad.
• Insert the new filter pad.
• Reinstall the filter cover.
