f201 mounting
F201 mounting brackets are threaded to accept either metric or standard fasteners.
Important Note: As shown in the figure below, DO NOT use more than one fastener per
mounting location. Using two or more fasteners per mounting tab will cause damage to the laser;
use only one fastener per location to mount your f201 laser.
Fastening f201 lasers from above
To fasten your f201 laser to a mounting surface from above, perform the following steps:
1 Refer to the appropriate outline and mounting drawing for dimensions and then drill and tap three
mounting holes into your mounting surface. For SAE installations, drill and tap three 5/16–18 (f201).
2 Assemble three spherical washer sets as detailed in the Outline and Mounting drawing.
3 Place the spherical washer sets over the threaded holes in your mounting surface.
4 Carefully position the laser so that each thru hole in the baseplate aligns with a spherical washer
and threaded mounting hole.
5 Insert the appropriate metric or standard cap screws, included in the laser’s ship kit, through the
baseplate, through the spherical washers, and into the threaded holes of the mounting surface (see
figure below). Turn the screws by hand until the threads engage.
6 Evenly tighten all three cap screws. For M8 cap screws, torque to 12 N m; for M10 screws, torque
to 24 N m. When using 5/16" screws, torque to 13 ft lb.; for 3/8" cap screws, tighten to 23 ft lb.
Caution: Possible Equipment Damage
Do not use more than one fastener per mounting foot. Doing so will damage the laser.
