14.4.4 Sensor Body Inspection
Sensor bodies should be inspected for visible damage to the enclosure, cell terminal spring and
contact pads.
Check the enclosure for signs of deformation, degradation or cracks in the material.
Check the cell terminal spring for signs of chemical corrosion or crystallisation.
Contact pads should be undamaged and free of any carbon deposits.
Note!
Other than cleaning of the contact pads, the sensor body contains no user serviceable parts
and together with the rest of the device components, should be returned to the supplier for
repair or service if required.
Warning!
Do not use devices with sensor bodies showing signs of damage in hazardous locations.
Using devices with sensor bodies showing signs of damage may cause further damage or
device failure.
14.5 Cell Replacement
Device cells may have to be replaced when they reach a minimum level. Cells are secured inside the
device using a retaining screw-cap that can be loosened and tightened using the VP Series 2000 cell
installation tool. The following steps describe how to replace the VP Series 2000 cell:
• Disassemble the device.
• Insert a cell as per the approved list.
• Replace o-ring seals.
• Assemble the device.
Warning!
Do not replace the cell in a hazardous environment.
Do not short-circuit the cell.
Do not insert a cell type other than as per the approved list.
Do not insert a damaged or leaking cell into the device.
Check the cell polarity when inserting it into the device.
Reverse polarisation may cause damage to the device.
Note!
Batteries should not be installed in the field.
Dispose of expended batteries as per applicable hazardous material disposal procedures.
Transportation regulations often restrict the shipment of lithium-type batteries that have been
fully or partially consumed.
Consult appropriate regulations prior to disposing batteries or seeking service.
