8.4 Cleaning or replacing the dust filter
Depending on the conditions of measurement, the filter should be checked from time to time. Corroded,
discolored or clogged filters should be replaced.
The probe of the XB transmitter has a removable filter cartridge. Simply replace the cartridge (leave the metal
base on the probe).
8.5 Validation of the output signals transmission
If so desired, transmission of the XB transmitter output signals can be validated by using the simulator
function. The HW4 software is required to enable and configure this function. When this function is enabled
the XB transmitter generates fixed digital and analog signals as specified by the user. For instructions see
