Perform the following steps to install an optical filter in the front cover.
Observe the following constraints on the filter:

•  Diameter (Ø): 12.3mm<Ø<12.7mm

•  Thickness (t): 1.6mm<t<2mm

1.  First, remove the front cover: unscrew the four M3 screws and take off  the 

LED cover. 

2.  Take off the rubber seal, remove the two  

smaller screws, and remove the PCB. 

 

 

 

 

Installing a Filter (Flat-Front Cover)

Use a T6 Torx 

screwdriver.

3. 

Working from the front of the PCB, press the legs of the filter holder 

gently together and pull off the clip. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. 

Insert first the filter glass, then the soft spacer (that was removed 

from its place between the filter holder and the filter retaining clip) 

into the filter holder. A pair of tweezers may be helpful.
