WARNING:
Before opening the instrument make sure that the mains cable is separated from the instrument.
WARNING:
Some of the modules need alignment after being exchanged. Therefore it is important to go through all the steps
described in exchanging the module that needs to be replaced.
WARNING:
Electronic circuits of the OCTOPUS 300, particularly the 'Processor board', the 'Interface board' and the LEDs in
the 'Background LED module' are all very sensitive to electrostatic charges. Keep all modules in static shielding
bags for storage, transportation and shipping.
Besides an ordinary set of regular tools the following tools and instruments are recommended:
Set of Allan- (hexagonal) wrenches, metric 1.3 to 8mm
Set of Torx screwdrivers (the sizes in this manual refer to the screwdriver size)
Universal digital voltmeter, range 200mV to 250V
Cleaning Materials
Can of compressed air
Lens tissue
Lens cleaner (diluted alcohol)
Cotton swabs
Whenever possible, field repairs of the OCTOPUS 300 should be restricted to module exchange. The sub module (part) causing a
problem should be localized with the help of the service manual and error list. It should then be replaced with an exchange module.

Housing (1805001)
Housing left
Housing right
Housing top
NOTE:
If the 'Housing' is removed, the perimeter will only initialize and calibrate correctly if it is placed in an entirely dark
environment. The covers can temporarily be put back in place for its operation and to run the 'Service programs'
such as the 'General test' in a semi-dark room.
Removal
Remove the 'Housing top' by removing the four Phillips (M4) screws in each outer corner from the bottom part of the 'Housing
left' and 'Housing right' (see Figure 7-1).
