Halo Endpoint Battery Replacement Hazardous (EX)

Updated over 5 months ago


Are you working in an explosive (Hazardous) environment (CI-D2, CII-D2 ATEX2)? If the answer is yes and the EP is calcified and has a battery issue - replace the entire EP and not just the battery.

Replacing a battery in HZ sensors is strictly forbidden.

Review this document for step-by-step instructions on how to replace an endpoint (E1, E2, EX).

NOTE: The new endpoint MUST be placed in the exact position of the previous endpoint. If unsure, contact Augury.

Use Loctite 242 Threadlocker to attach the appropriate basemount to the sensor. Hand tighten the basemount to the sensor first, then use two 22mm wrenches to tighten.

NOTE: If the endpoint is being mounted through drill and tap method, you will use a 22mm wrench and a 19mm wrench.
