10. Install a sensor band shorting plug on the sensor band cable.
Note: Sensor bands with an “R” in the Part Number suffix (e.g.
Part #: 20686-26-R) do not require a shorting plug.
WARNING
Potential electrical discharge. Always install a sensor band
shorting plug (see item 10 above) on the sensor band connector
whenever the sensor band connector is not installed in a mating
connector.
11. Install spring clamps on both sides of the cover flanges to keep it
from sliding or separating while removing the cover bolts.
12. Remove the boot gasket band if removing a stainless steel cover.
13. Remove the sensor cover bolts, nuts, and washers, and then
cover from pipe.Replace sensor cable access cover.
15. Use a hex driver or Allen wrench to unscrew the nine sensor
screws that hold the two rails of the sensor together. Unscrew
each screw a couple of turns until they are loosened. While the
screw threads are still engaged in the attachment rails a few
turns, spread the sensor rails apart and then continue to loosen
the screws until they are no longer engaged in the threads. (By
doing this, the o-ring that keeps the screws from coming out of the
rails will stay in place.) Use care to keep the fastener assembly
intact. If the spacers or Bellville washers do come off the screw
refer to the sensor band screw figure in the Sensor Installation
section of the manual for proper stack-up of components.
16. Remove the sensor band assembly from the pipe.
17. Slide the screw and washer assembly o-ring down the screw to
retain the screws in their holes.
18. The original packaging as described in Section 6.1 should be
used when storing/transporting the system. If not available, lay
the sensor band in the bottom of the cover and move it to an area
where it will not be damaged.
19. Replace sensor band screws prior to re-installation of sensor
band.
20. Inspect and replace fiberglass cover gaskets as required.
21. Inspect and replace stainless steel cover flange gaskets as
required.
