CAUTION!
ESD (electrostatic discharge)
Only work in Electrostatic Protected Area
Use in the field an ESD service kit
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two
objects at different electrical potentials. Prevention of ESD bases on Electrostatic Protective Area
(EPA). EPA can be a small working station or a large manufacturing area. The main principle of an
EPA is that there are no highly charging materials in the vicinity of ESD sensitive electronics, all
conductive materials are grounded, workers are grounded, and charge build-up on ESD sensitive
electronics is prevented. For service jobs in non-electrostatic protected areas we highly recommend
the use of an ESD service kit. With this kit the worker is grounded, and the electronic boards and
components should be placed on the grounded ESD mat.

CAUTION!
In older units you will find a nut used as spacer in

each of the four corners. They are not fixed. Take
care of them, do not lose them and bring them into
the original position when you reinstall the
Spectrometer block. Make sure the two spacers
and two screws go through the nut.
2.3 Spectralis HRA with blue laser diode

In this case you have neither a Spectrometer block nor a Sapphire laser unit, therefore the access is
very easy.

3.5 Carrier and sensor board

If there is a problem with the carrier and/or the sensor board, you have to replace both boards.
This is highly recommended, because the two boards are set up and adjusted to each other in factory.
If you mix you will get a lower image quality.
3.5.1 Sensor board

 Disconnect the two flat ribbon cables
 Loosen the sensor board with a 2.5mm hex key. There are two versions available:
Version 1 with 1 screw Version 2 with 2 screws
 Remove the sensor board

 NOTE: If you have a unit without Sapphire Laser Unit, you have to loosen the
spectrometer unit and lift it a little to remove the sensor board
The sensor of the new sensor board is covered with a glass plate!
 Remove the glass plate carefully

Bend up the two copper strips
with a very small flat screwdriver
 Take care of the glass plate

 Attach it later to the sensor
of the defective sensor board
 Remove the brass cylinder from the

defective sensor board and install it
on the new sensor board
 Use the original shipping box

for the return shipment
3.5.2 Carrier board
 Remove all cables

 Remove the 3 screws
 The carrier board is piggy backed to the I-module A board. Remove it carefully!
 Take care when you install the new carrier board. There are three rows where the carrier
board is connected to the I-module A. Verify all pins fit correctly into their contacts.
 Check again the all contacts
front side back side
 Press the two boards and verify they are pressed completely together
 Tighten the 3 screws
