    CAUTION Make sure that the chopper disc teeth do not touch the opto-coupler. There must be 1 ... 2 mm space between the bottom of the opto-coupler and the disc teeth.
    Be careful when handling the new ball bearings. Do not drop them or force them onto the shaft.
  8. Attach the heating element outlet to the circuit board. Put the circuit board in place and fasten it with spacers.

    Make sure that the bigger O-ring between the upper and lower sensor bodies is in place and fasten the three screws at the bottom of the sensor.
    Vaisala recommends replacing the O-ring with a new one when opening the assembly for maintenance.
