Open Air assembly - 2 included plasitc washers?

Components
#1

Hi, included in the Open Air self-assembly kit are two plastic washers. The assembly instructions do not refer to these. How shall they be installed? I’m assuming they are for the screws which attach the S8 sensor module since that is the only part that came with two screws. Assuming this is correct, do the washers go between the screw head and the PCB, or between the PCB and the base plate?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @rmacneil! Can you please send a photo of these to support@airgradient.com? This will help with better context on this. Thanks!

I had the same question on my kit

Here’s a picture of the 2. The install worked without using them

Thank-you for posting that picture, those are indeed the washers I was speaking about.

Looking forward to what others think how they should be used.

Just got my kit and assembled it, I used them to protect the PCB from the screw (e.g., place the washer against the screw head, so it doesn’t potentially scratch the PCB when you turn it)
