Using the Mini PID Electrode Stack
Removal Tool provided, locate its
‘prongs’ in the slots in the side of the
Mini PID 2 Sensor body:
Using the forefinger to restrain the white
Electrode Stack (the internal parts of the
MiniPID 2 Sensor are spring-loaded),
squeeze the Removal Tool to release the
Electrode Stack.
At this point the MiniPID Electrode Stack can be replaced.
Lamp Removal and Examination
The TIGER is a sensitive detector. Internal components must be handled with
clean hands and clean tools. The TIGER Lamp is fragile. Handle with great care.
Never touch the window and do not drop.
Following removal of the Electrode Stack as described previously, the Lamp may now be removed.
Carefully remove the Lamp:
• If the Lamp is held in the Electrode Stack, carefully pull it out of the O-ring around the well in
the underside of the Electrode Stack.
• If the Lamp is sitting in the sensor body - the Lamp can be gripped and lifted out or the
sensor body can be inverted and the Lamp tipped out.
Inspection of the Lamp may reveal a layer of contamination on the detection window. This appears
as a ‘blue hue.’ To check for this, hold the Lamp in front of a light source and look across the window
surface at an angle.
If necessary, clean the Lamp.
Lamp Cleaning
Clean the window using the PID Lamp Cleaning Kit supplied.
THE LAMP CLEANING COMPOUND CONTAINS ALUMINIUM OXIDE AS A VERY
FINE POWER. THIS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT AND EYES.
