2. Unscrew the three screws and remove the faceplate.
3. Press down on the white terminals of the push-release
fittings on the circuit board and pull out to remove the
tape/cable leads.

5. From the front of the faceplate, use the wrench to unscrew
the nut holding the test button and push the button back
out of the faceplate.
6. Unscrew and remove the two screws holding the circuit
board (and older style light leads) from the Sonalert.
7. Carefully lift the circuit board from the Sonalert so you have
better access to the circuit board.
8. If you have a newer style light, unsolder it from the circuit
board and remove as much of the old solder as possible.
9. If you had an older style light (or the lens needs replacing)
insert the new red lens through the front opening in the
faceplate and secure using the white nut.
10. For a Model 101 or 102 Water Level Meter, insert the
leads of the new light into the two positions labelled "D2"
on the circuit board and solder in place. See photo below.
