Do not refinish previously painted sensors. Excess paint build up will cause the sensor
to be inoperative.
Pay attention not to scratch sensor (1), sensor already comes prepared to be spray painted.
Do not sand or prep the sensor head with a Scotch-Brite pad, sensor (1) does not need to be
sanded to be spray painted. Use only approved pre clean solvent from your paint
manufacturer.
Mask off the sensor 1/4 in up the sensor shaft (a) from the body of sensor (1) and mask the
remainder of the sensor body that will not be painted.
Apply paint, paint thickness shall not exceed 4.4 mils of paint to the head of the sensor (1)
using care to ensure the sides maintain the same paint film thickness as the top.
Verify paint film with a wet film paint thickness gauge or with a DeFelsko Positector 200B
dry film ultrasonic paint thickness gauge.
Follow the drying conditions of the paint manufacturer before proceeding installation.
