How to Install or Change the Sensor
A new TEK-Mate is shipped with its sensor packed separately. The
sensor must be installed in the TEK-Mate 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.

If you are replacing the sensor, the worn out sensor
may be hot.
3. Remove the new sensor from its packaging.
4. 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.
