Replacing a Sensor

1. Verify that the Gas Tracer is off.

2. Use a screwdriver to remove the three screws holding the belt clip

to the back side of the instrument. Two of these screws also secure
the flow chamber.

3. Remove the belt clip and unscrew the remaining screw holding in

the flow chamber.

4. Grab the exhaust tube and pull it gently away from the unit to slide

the flow chamber out of the unit.

5. Gently pull on the knob of the sensor gasket to remove it. Be sure

not to lose any of the filters that are in it. The sensors will be
exposed.

6. Remove the sensor from its socket.

7. Carefully insert the replacement sensor in the correct socket.
