washer should be under the filter. A new washer is not included
with the filter, so reuse the old one.

tighten the filter, finger tightness is enough.

Changing the Sensor

The user can replace the HUMICAP® 180R sensor with a new one. The
new sensor must be of the HUMICAP® 180R type. Do not attempt to use
a different sensor type.

NOTE

Replacing the sensor is repair maintenance, and it is not necessary in
normal operation. If the accuracy of the transmitter does not seem to be
within specification, it is more likely that the transmitter is in need of
calibration and adjustment, and not sensor replacement. Refer to section
Calibration and Adjustment on page 52.
