3.4.6 Changing the Color Splitter in the Reflector Module FL P&C
Be extremely careful when mounting the filters and the color splitter in order to avoid damaging
and soiling the optical components.
We advise ordering completely equipped reflector
modules FL P&C, as changing the color splitter is
very challenging.
When changing the color filter, please proceed as
follows:
•
Remove the reflector module FL P&C from the
reflector turret (see also chapter
540H540H
3.1.6).
•
Loosen both slit screws (
541H541H
Fig. 3-44/ 1 ) with a
screwdriver.
•
Hold both parts of the reflector module (the
emission part (
542H542H
Fig. 3-44/ 2 ) and the excitation
part (
543H543H
Fig. 3-44/ 3 ) together, turn them against
the mounting position and put them down.
•
Now tilt the excitation part, which lies on top
(
544H544H
Fig. 3-45/ 1 ), upward and lift the emission part
(
545H545H
Fig. 3-45/ 4 ) out of the holding fixtures
(
546H546H
Fig. 3-45/ 5b ).
•
Remove color splitter (
547H547H
Fig. 3-45/ 2 ) and spring
box (
548H548H
Fig. 3-45/ 3 ) from the bottom part of the
module.
•
Remove the old color splitter and put the new
splitter with the reflecting coating facing up
carefully on the spring box (
549H549H
Fig. 3-45/ 3 ). Put
both pieces together into the bottom part of
the module. Make sure that the side latch of
the spring box is in the appropriate recess of
the bottom part of the module.
