10-003591-01EN [Q7780031], Rev. 4, January 2020
To change the encoder
1. Use a 1.5 mm Allen key to remove the four screws on the encoder (see Figure 5-2
on page 50).
2. Remove the encoder.
3. Install the new encoder:
 Apply a small drop of Loctite 425 thread locker to each of the four screws,
position the encoder, and insert and tighten the screws.
Olympus recommends Loctite 425 thread locker because it will not damage
plastic parts in the vicinity if inadvertently spilled.

Changing the Foam Gasket and the O-ring Seals

The foam gasket on the wedge (which maintains the water column) must be changed
periodically, depending on inspection conditions and surface roughness. The o-ring
seals on the probe and on the water tube connection also may need replacement if
they are worn or damaged.
