Section 4. Maintenance

The bench cover is held in place by four screws. Remove these screws, remove the
plate and foam, and set aside. The insulated optical bench will now be visible.

3

Gently lift the optical bench out of the insulating foam and remove the cable connectors from the
source and detector circuit boards.

4

 Gently grasp the plugs and pull them free.
