Horizontal and
vertical mounting
The SuperK CONNECT can be mounted either horizontally or vertically onto a
device output aperture, see
“VIS or IR SuperK CONNECT orientation” on page 17 .
Reversible coupler
holder
The input coupler of an FD is inserted into the CONNECT output port and clicks in
place against a spring-loaded holder. Once inserted, the coupler can be securely
held by tightening the holder lock screw. For some mounting orientations, the lock
access could be blocked. In this case, the holder can be re-inserted on the opposite
side of the CONNECT by unfastening its lock screw and moving the holder assembly
to the opposite side of the CONNECT.
