APPENDIX A 

– WEEE DIRECTIVE 

 

Recycling and separation procedure for WEEE directive 2002/96/EC 

 
This section is used by the recycling center when the detector reaches its end of life. Breaking the calibration 
seal or opening the device will void the HP-BLU

’s warranty. 

 
The complete device contains: 

1 HP-BLU detector 
1 USB cable (USB model) 
1 Calibration certificate 
 

Separation 

 
Paper: Manual and certificate 
Plastic: Water connectors 
Wires: USB cable and power supply plug 
Printed circuit board: Inside the device 
Aluminum and/or nickel-plated copper: Device enclosure 
Brass: Water connectors fittings, flow meter and thermocouple fittings: Inside the detector 
Steel and stainless steel: screws 
Rubber: gasket inside the detector 
Lithium Ion battery: Inside the detector 
Lithium-metal battery: Inside the detector 
 

Opening the Device 
 

Remove all the screws on the outside of the HP-BLU. 
Lift the aluminium cover.  
Unplug all the wires connecting to the PCB and the screws holding the PCB in place. 
Remove the Lithium battery taped on a plastic block. 
Remove the lithium-metal battery (coin cell) on the PCB. 
Remove the aluminium plate supporting the water connectors. 
Remove the screw holding the plastic blocks. 
Remove the washer under the plastic blocks. 
Remove the thermocouple fitting on the plastic blocks. 
Remove the water connector and the flow meter from the plastic blocks. 
Remove the four back screws to open the backside of the water coolant circuit. 
Remove the four front screws to remove the metal front cover. 

 

All the parts are now disassembled
