2.2 Sensor head with quick connector mechanism - removing

the covers

NOTE

In certain market areas the movable sensor head is not available, in which case all
cephalostat-equipped units have two fixed sensor heads.

Unscrew the bottom cover plate attachment screw with the 4mm allen key and remove the
cover plate.

Figure 10

Turn the lock disc from above the locking plate and push in the quick connector mechanism
locking knob. Unscrew the two attachment screws of the quick connector mechanism cover
with the 4mm allen screw and slide the cover from its position.
