How to Change the Sensor

1. The sensor comes installed in the tip of the GAS-Mate probe. You only need to

insert/remove the sensor when it is time to replace it.

2. Insert a paper clip or a small screwdriver under the sensor through the slot in

the probe tip and carefully slide the sensor out of the end of the probe tip as
seen in Figure 2.

3. Remove the new sensor from its packaging and install it by aligning the tab on

the metal sensor can with the slot in the probe tip and gently sliding the sensor
into the tip. Be certain that the four wire leads on the sensor fit into the four holes
at the base of the probe sensor socket, and that they are not bent during the
installation process.

4. When properly installed, the top of the sensor should be approximately flush

with the tip of the probe.
