1. Turn off power to the system.
2. Remove and inspect sampling tube filters.
3. If filters are heavily coated with dirt, replace them with
new filters. If they are not heavily coated, use a vacuum

install the filters.
4. Remove the detector from the housing. (See Figure 8.)

5. Remove the detector cover by inserting a small-bladed
screwdriver into the slot located approximately 90
degrees from the MOD400 test jack. Rotate the cover
counterclockwise to remove it. See Figure 10.
6. Lift the screen from the photo chamber. Vacuum the
screen and cover before using clean, compressed air to
loosen and blow out any remaining debris (replacement
screens are available, part no. RS24).
7. Vacuum the photo chamber. Then, use clean compressed
air to blow it clean.
8. Replace the screen by aligning the arrow on top with the
