17 Maintenance

The AreaRAE Plus/Pro requires little maintenance, aside from replacing sensors, the filter, and the
battery. The pump may need replacement, as well. If the instrument has a PID, then the PID sensor lamp
and sensor electrode panel may require periodic cleaning.

17.1 Removing/Installing The Rubber Boot

In order to open the AreaRAE Plus/Pro, it is necessary to remove the belt clip and the rubber boot. Note
that there are two hex screws on the bottom rear side that secure the boot.
1. Turn off the instrument.
2. Remove the external filter.
3. Remove the wind sensor (if one is attached).
4. Unscrew the two the two screws on each side.
5. Slide the top part of the boot upward until it clears the top of the instrument.
6. Slide off the bottom portion of the boot.

17.2 Replacing The External Filter

If a filter is dirty or clogged, remove it by unscrewing it from the black gas inlet adapter on the front of
the instrument. Discard it and replace it with a new filter (P/N: 008-3022-000). Perform a pump stall test
to make sure the inlet and the external filter are installed properly so that there are no leaks in the system.
