How To Install Or Change the Sensor
A new TEK-Mate is shipped with its sensor packed separately. The sensor must be installed
before use. This specialized sensor will operate for about 100 hours before it will need to be
replaced.
1. Remove the rubber sensor cover by lifting at the outer edge.
2. If you are replacing a worn out sensor, remove the worn out sensor by pulling it straight out
of the socket and discard it.
WARNING WARNING WARNING
IF YOU ARE REPLACING THE SENSOR, THE WORN OUT SENSOR
MAY BE HOT.
3. Remove the new sensor from its packaging and carefully align the three sensor leads (small
wires coming out of the bottom of the “can”) with the three holes in the sensor socket. Insert
the leads into the holes by gently pressing straight down on the sensor until the sensor leads
contact the bottom of the socket. Be careful not to bend the sensor leads. See
Figure 2.
4. Reinstall the rubber sensor cover by pressing it down firmly around the edges. Be sure the
edges of the cover are flat against the surface of the detector.
