D902/3
The D902/3 is equipped with a DESICCANT CARTRIDGE, 
which is located in the face plate of the meter. The 
purpose of the cartridge is to absorb the humidity that was 
present inside of the enclosure when the product was 
manufactured and to absorb moisture that may seep into 
the enclosure during field operation. Observing the color 
indicator of the DESICCANT CARTRIDGE and replacing it 
when it turns PINK will decrease the chance of corrosion 
and resulting failure of the internal components of the 
D902/3. 
 
Procedure: 
 
1. Obtain a new DESICCANT CARTRIDGE from 
Dynasonics (Dynasonics P.N. D005-9909-001).
2. Replace the cartridge in a temperature and humidity
controlled environment. Allow the meter to reach the 
same ambient temperature as the area in which the 
cartridge will be replaced. (Do not attempt to change 
the cartridge if the meter is below the Dew Point 
Temperature.) 
3. Remove the old cartridge with a 1-3/8" open-end
wrench or appropriate adjustable wrench.
4. Insert the new cartridge and tighten with the wrench. 
5. Discard the used cartridge.
