Maintenance and care
 Do not use any additional sealant for sealing the front screen, e.g. silicon, as the vapors
p
roduced may damage the optics.

Mount the front screen as per the following instructions to ensure that the housing is
sealed to IP 65.
How to replace the front screen:
 Disconnect the system plug and remove the S3000.
 Take the S3000 to a clean place (office, repair shop or similar).
 First clean the outside of the S3000. This prevents foreign bodies entering the device
when it is opened.
 Removing the fixing screws  to  for the front screen.
 Now remove the old front screen and the old rubber seal.
 Remove any dirt from the seal groove and the mating face on the sensor head. For this
purpose if possible use a plastic cleaner that does not leave residues (see section 13.3
“Accessories/spare parts” on page 163).
If necessary smear a thin coating of Vaseline in the seal groove. This makes mounting
easier.
 Insert the new seal  — starting in the middle —. During this process first align the
centre markings on the sensor head ( and ) and seal ( and ).
