Caution: If the cap is not removed, air will not be able to
enter the dryer tube, adversely affecting the pressure depth
sensor.

to fire the sensor and check that the sensor is working correctly.

Replacing the Desiccant

When replacing the desiccant inside the pressure depth sensor dryer
tube, use indicating beads that are approximately 0.16 inches (4.1
mm) in diameter. Smaller beads may be able to escape the dryer
tube, enter the clear plastic tubing leading to the sensor connector.
The desiccant beads of the appropriate size for this dryer tube are
available through IETG (p/n 901-11055-00).
