Replacing Measurement CPU/Window 
Receiver LTC112 
The measurement units of the LT31 transmitter and receiver are equipped 
with identical measurement CPUs LTC112. In case of a faulty window 
receiver, the measurement CPU has to be replaced as well. The procedure 
is identical for the receiver and transmitter measurement unit. 
NOTE 
To replace the measurement CPU LTC112, the measurement unit has to 
be opened. For this reason, it is highly recommended to dismount the 
complete measurement unit and carry out the replacement work on a 
clean workbench in a dry room. 
 
To remove the complete measurement unit, the AC power has to be 
switched off first and then the measurement head cover has to be 
removed. 
1.  Remove the upper interface unit cover and open the interface unit 
with the provided key. 
NOTE 
Switch the AC switch off before you proceed with the next steps. In case 
of the optional LTBB111, switch the battery backup switch off as well.
