Maintenance

NOTE : The UNI 321 is designed as a disposable instrument and does not need maintenance under normal circumstances. However, in highly dusty or wet environments, it may be necessary to replace the sensor filter as described below.

Maintenance should be performed only by a qualified person who has proper training and fully understands the contents of the manual.

Replacing the Sensor Filter

The filter may need replacement under special circumstances such as use high-dust or condensing environments. External filter clips are available to reduce the need to replace the internal filter. Sheets of 5 “peel-and-stick” internal filters are available for this purpose:

1) Turn off the UNI 321 and place it face down on a soft surface.

2) Use a T10 Torx screwdriver to loosen (counterclockwise) each of the four screws.

3) Remove the top cover after carefully unplugging the buzzer connector.

4) Peel a filter from the sheet and center it over the sensor. Gently press down.

5) Re-connect in the buzzer connector and re-install the top cover.

6) Re-install the screws in the back cover. Be careful to not overtighten the screws.
