Disassembling and Transporting the LCD Arm Mount
The EyeLink 1000 LCD Arm Mount ships with three 60 cm double-sided Velcro straps to aid in
securing the Arm for lifting and disassembly. A recommended method of securing the LCD Arm
using the Velcro straps is presented in Figure 5-6. It is recommended that two people
participate in this task as the unit can be awkward to handle and does contain some delicate
equipment.

Transporting
The weight of the LCD Arm with the Camera and LCD Assembly (approximately 11 kg, or 25
lbs) can cause shaft and cup holder points to become tight due to the pressures that the LCD
Arm makes while moving the apparatus into various positions. Such pressures make what on
assembly amounts to merely lowering a shaft into a cup holder not as easily reversed. On
reversal the pieces need to be gently rocked back and forth to wiggle them free. As the LCD
Arm is fully loaded this requires the rocking of large portions of the entire unit. To minimize the
potential for damage, as many pieces as possible may be removed before attempting to remove
the Camera and LCD Assembly from the LCD Arm, or the LCD Arm from the Arm Base. For
instance, removing the camera cover and camera is advised.
Important: It is recommended that two people participate in
disassembling the LCD Arm Mount.
Read these instructions through and prepare a place to put the
disassembled pieces before attempting disassembly.
To disassemble the unit, one option is to lift the LCD Arm and Assembly together from the Arm
Base. A second option is to remove the Camera and LCD Assembly from the LCD Arm first, and
then to remove the LCD Arm itself from the Arm Base. In either case, double-sided Velcro
strapping can assist in securing parts of the LCD Arm to make disassembly more manageable.
Once the LCD Arm has been removed from the Arm Base, removal of the Arm Base involves
loosening the bolt from applying pressure to the shim until the Arm Base can slide freely off of
