Kapitel 3 Alkalibatterien austauschen
WARNUNG
Wenn der Benutzer der Meinung ist, dass sich Wasser im Druckgehäuse des Sensors befindet, den
Sensor von der Stromversorgung trennen. Setzen Sie eine Sicherheitsbrille auf, und stellen Sie
sicher, dass der Sensor von Ihrem Körper und anderen Personen weg zeigt. Verwenden Sie den
Auslass (sofern der Sensor über einen solchen verfügt) in einem gut belüfteten Bereich, oder
lockern Sie den Schottanschluss ganz LANGSAM, damit der Druck entweichen kann.
WARNUNG
Wenn der Benutzer der Meinung ist, dass die Alkali-Batterien undicht sind, hat sich möglicherweise
Druck im Druckgehäuse aufgebaut. Befolgen Sie die ESD-Protokolle, um den Innendruck
abzulassen. Tragen Sie eine Sicherheitsbrille und Schutzhandschuhe, und stellen Sie sicher, dass
der Sensor von Ihrem Körper und anderen Personen weg zeigt. Lockern Sie in einem gut belüfteten
Bereich ganz LANGSAM den Schottanschluss, damit der Druck entweichen kann. Von Wärme,
Funken, Flammen und anderen Zündquellen fernhalten. Nicht rauchen.
VORSICHT
Das Druckgehäuse enthält gegen elektrostatische Entladung (ESD) empfindliche Teile und
Baugruppen, die durch ESD beschädigt werden können. Befolgen Sie die ESD-Protokolle:
• Tragen Sie einen Augenschutz, wenn Sie das Druckgehäuse öffnen.
• Elektrostatische Ladungen am Körper des Bedieners müssen vor dem Öffnen des
Druckgehäuses abgeleitet werden: Legen Sie eine Hand auf eine geerdete Oberfläche, oder
besser: Tragen Sie ein geerdetes Antistatikband.
• Tragen Sie für diese Wartungstätigkeit mindestens kurzärmelige antistatische Kleidung, z.B. aus
Baumwolle, oder besser einen antistatischen Kittel. Tragen Sie keine Pullover, Fleece- oder
Polyesterkleidung.
• Verwenden Sie mindestens eine Arbeitsstation mit einer Tischplatte aus Holz oder Metall oder
besser eine Tischplatte, die statische Elektrizität ableitet. Arbeiten Sie nicht auf einer Tischplatte
aus Synthetik- oder Polymermaterial.
1. Die Außenseite des Batterie-Endflansches mit einem sauberen Tuch abtrocknen. Gegebenenfalls
Wasser zwischen dem Druckgehäuse und dem Endflansch vollständig entfernen.
2. Mithilfe eines Schraubenschlüssels an der weißen Kunststoffschiene den Endflansch gegen den
Uhrzeigersinn drehen, um ihn zu lösen.

3. Gegebenenfalls Wasser auf den O-Ring-Oberflächen mit einem fusselfreien Tuch oder
Papiertuch vollständig entfernen.
4. Den Endflansch sauber halten und den O-Ring vor Verschmutzung oder Beschädigung schützen.
5. Die drei Kreuzschlitzschrauben und Unterlegscheiben von der Batterieabdeckung entfernen.
Die Batterieabdeckung löst sich.
6. Nehmen Sie die Batterien aus dem Messgerät.
7. Legen Sie neue Batterien ein. Achten Sie darauf, dass der + Pol sich an der flachen Kontaktseite
und der - Pol sich auf der Kontaktseite mit der Feder befindet.
8. Richten Sie die Batterieabdeckung am Gehäuse aus. Die Bolzen im Gehäuse sind asymmetrisch,
sodass die Abdeckung nur in einer Ausrichtung auf das Gehäuse passt.
Eine Schraubenöffnung befindet sich näher am Rand als die anderen und passt zu dem Bolzen,
der am nächsten zum Gehäuse liegt.
9. Setzen Sie alle drei Kreuzschlitzschrauben und Unterlegscheiben wieder ein: Drücken Sie fest
auf die Abdeckung und achten Sie darauf, dass die Feder richtig an den Batterien anliegt.
Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Schrauben fest angezogen sind, anderenfalls ist die Batterieleistung
nicht zuverlässig.
10. Überprüfen Sie, ob die Batteriespannung an BAT + und BAT - an der Batterieabdeckung etwa
18 V entspricht.
11. Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle O-Ring-Oberflächen sauber und trocken sind. Tauschen Sie die O-
Ringe bei Bedarf aus.
12. Tragen Sie eine dünne Schicht Parker Super O Lube auf Silikonbasis auf die aneinander
liegenden O-Ring-Flächen auf.
13. Setzen Sie den Endflansch vorsichtig auf das Gehäuse und schrauben Sie ihn fest. Stellen Sie
mithilfe eines Schraubenschlüssels sicher, dass die Kappe fest montiert ist.
14. Überprüfen Sie, ob der Schalterstößel herausgezogen ist, sodass sich der Searam in einem
Modus mit geringerer Spannung befindet.
