About this task
This procedure describes the replacement of the two temperature sensors associated with the magnet. The room ambient temperature sensor is located in the left front cover. The room ambient temperature sensor is clamped into the left cover, so the sensor can be replaced without replacing the cover. The patient bore temperature sensor is located inside the RF body coil. The room ambient temperature cable plugs into the bore temperature cable Figure 1. The bore temperature cable then connects to the SRI at J10.

Room ambient temperature sensor replacement
Procedure
Apply LOTO on the RF amplifier and PEN cabinet. See the MR Service Safety Manual, PN 5452735.
Disconnect the bore temperature sensor cable from J10 on the SRI on the left side of the magnet enclosure and pull to the front of the magnet.
Disconnect the room ambient temperature sensor cable. The room ambient temperature sensor cable is approximately 72 inches (180 cm) long and the connector is near the bottom of the left-front cover (see #id_SL1991687-1061576__SL3860280-1061576).
Note: As long as the rear end bell is in place and the RF body coil is returned to the bore in the same orientation as it was removed, then RF coil tuning will not be affected. It may be necessary to mark the original body coil position.
Carefully remove the tape located under the sensor. Keep the
tape to reused it later.
Pull the sensor from the RF body coil port.
Remove the bore temperature sensor cable by threading it through
the magnetic enclosure.
Route the new cable through the magnet enclosure and tape it
to the RF body coil at the 315 position. Reconnect the bore temperature
sensor cable at J10 on the SRI under the left side of the magnet enclosure,
and reconnect the room ambient temperature sensor cable.

Insert the bore temperature sensor into the port in the RF body
coil and secure it with tape.

Replace the RF body coil, front end bell, split bridge, and
covers per Step 1 through Step 7 (above) in reverse order. Take care to not pinch the cable.
Finalization
Finalization
Remove LOTO from the PEN cabinet. See the MR Service Safety Manual, PN 5452735.
Perform a quick head and body scan to ensure that the system is functioning properly.
