An apparatus and a method for its use allow selective installation and removal of a canister such as one containing interface electronics to a mating connector on a housing, such as one containing a subsea multiphase flow meter sensor. The separately retrievable canister may contain multiphase flow meter detector electronics and is sealed, waterproof, and preferably light-weight. Installation and retrieval may be via use of an ROV and an alignment guide which acts as a guide to aid in correct positioning of the canister. The canister may be cooled by surrounding sea water and/or by insulation. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope of meaning of the claims.
