FIT THE EYE SENSOR

Your assembly should now look like this.

Add a frame B to the assembly as shown, with its locating pins

fitting into the corresponding holes of frame A. Press the parts

firmly together.

Replace the iris removed from its socket in Step 21.

Carefully fit the sensor into the socket. The two screw holes in the

sensor’s backing should align with those of the socket, with its

uncut corner next to the socket’s side tab.

Line up the back of the socket with the eye sensor,

orienting the parts exactly as shown above.

Use two M2 x 5mm screws to secure the sensor to

the eye socket.
