1.2 Were do I place the viewer?
Obviously you already have chosen a spot for the viewer in your museum, exhibition or
other public environment. Here are some considerations that might help you to check the
spot;
− Keep in mind the height of the viewer. Children and grown-ups both want to look in the
viewer!
−
Depending on the interest of the viewer, people might form a queue. This could cause
congestion for the rest of the public.
− Watch out for sunlight coming through the lenses! The lenses will act like burn glasses
on the slides. A few minutes in the sun will cause enough damage to the slide that it
should be replaced. Within 1 day, in worst case, you have to replace all slides. You can
see this on the slide like tiny little white spots showing the track of the sun during the
day.
− Avoid spotlights to be shinning on the lenses. The slides are not going to be burned but
it does shorten the lifecycle of the slide.
−
When the viewer is to be mounted inside some kind of panel, be sure you can get easy
access to the viewer for replacing the slides.
1.3 How do I mount the viewer against a wall?
The 10 slide rotary viewer holds a bracket at the back that has several holes to attach the
viewer with screws or bolts against a wall. First you have to remove the 3 bolts on the top of
the bracket (see the image) and the bolts underneath the viewer to position the bracket only
against the wall. Think about how you want to let the cables run through the bracket; are
they going through the wall or do they go through the hole at the bottom of the bracket?
