Make sure that you have the replacement spare part available.

Replacing the receiver includes adjusting the clean window reference. Set the new clean window reference for a clean and dry window, in clear weather, and ideally with the termination hood placed on top of the device. The clean window calibration ensures that the window condition diagnostics respond appropriately to dirt accumulation.

  1. Switch off AC (mains) power.
    WARNING To make sure that there is no AC (mains) power available for the system, disconnect the AC (mains) cable (AC in).

  6. Move the receiver module slightly towards the side of the measurement unit and then towards you and remove it.
    CAUTION Handle with care. Any impact on the receiver may damage it and lead to equipment failure or incorrect measurements.
  7. Attach the replacement receiver module using the Allen key and connect the cables.
    CAUTION When attaching the receiver, avoid applying force to the receiver. If the receiver starts to rotate along when you tighten the ring, stop it from rotating by hand but do not apply force. If unnecessary force is used, the optical centering of the photo diode may be lost, resulting in loss of cloud detection.
  8. Check that you have not accidentally locked the transportation lock of the polarization unit.
