Maintenance of the HI-6053 is limited to external components such as cables or
connectors, and replacing the batteries. For complete information on replacing
the batteries, see the next section, HI-6053 Battery Replacement.
Any other maintenance or calibration task requires probe disassembly, which
may void your warranty. Only ETS-Lindgren service personnel should
perform these tasks. To avoid problems with your warranty, contact
ETS-Lindgren Customer Service before performing any maintenance.
For complete information on maintenance and calibration, see Maintenance on
page 21.
HI-6053 B ATTERY R EPLACEMENT
During the annual calibration of your HI-6053 at the ETS-Lindgren factory, the
batteries are tested to verify continued operability. If required, the batteries are
replaced at that time. It is rare that you should need to replace the batteries
between calibration checks, but in that event, follow these steps.
If you are not qualified to perform this procedure, please consult
ETS-Lindgren Customer Service. ETS-Lindgren is not responsible for
damage to the probe as a result of replacing the batteries.
See the Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment for
information on ETS-Lindgren calibration services.
1. Turn the HI-6053 off. Verify that the green indicator light is not flashing.
2. Carefully disconnect the fiber optic cables from the Transmit and
Receive connectors.
3. Remove the two nuts; one on each fiber optic connector.
4. Remove the four screws from the bottom of the electronics housing.
5. Lift the bottom away from the housing. Wires from the power button
are connected to the internal circuitry, so carefully turn the bottom over
and place it to the side, avoiding placing stress on the wires.
