Resealing the Enclosure
Resealing the Enclosure
Inspect both sides of the gasket and ensure there are no rips or tears. Blow any dust or other
contaminants from each of the surfaces. Replace the gasket back onto the enclosure, around the
battery, aligning the openings of the gasket with the screw bosses; the gasket is reflectively
symmetric, so it does not matter which way around you fit it as long as it aligns with the bosses in
the enclosure.
Check the exposed surface does not have any dust or other contaminants present on it and then
replace the rear half of the enclosure, ensuring that the screw bosses align with the gasket and
front-half of the enclosure. If there is any dust present, it may be blown away, ideally using
compressed air.

Resealing the Enclosure
Replace each of the screws in turn into the openings in the back of the enclosure and tighten
them to a torque of
0.3Nm
(30cNm); take care not to over-tighten them to avoid any damage to
the enclosure.
Once you have tightened all six screws, you may optionally use a set of calipers to verify the
enclosure is providing the correct compression to the gasket:
the overall thickness of the
assembled enclosure should be 14mm (within a tolerance of +/-0.05mm) across the full
length. If any of the areas near a screw are thicker than this, verify the screw at that
position is at the correct torque.
