Installing Additional Filters
|
27
If you wish to install additional filters, or change the filter locations:
1. Turn off the unit and disconnect the power cord.
2. Tape down the carrier in the home (full out) position to prevent
movement while the instrument is being handled.
3. Carefully turn the instrument upside down on a level surface.
4. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the four screws from the bottom of
the instrument (see
Figure 3 ).
5. Hold on to both the instrument base and the top case to prevent the
detachment of the case from the body of the instrument.
6. Carefully turn the instrument right side up and remove the top cover.
With the cover off, the instrument’s mechanics and optics are exposed.
The filter wheel is housed within the small black box (filter wheel
cover) directly under the end of the optics arm (
Figure 7
).
7. Remove the four thumbscrews around the perimeter of the cover. The
filter wheel sits on a pin and can be lifted off.
8. Remove the filters by turning the wheel upside down over a cloth. The
filters, which are labeled with the wavelength and light direction arrow,
should easily slide out.
9.
When replacing the filters in the wheel, handle them from the edges. Do
not touch the glass portion of the filter. Clean any filters that appear
dirty with lens paper and isopropyl alcohol.
10. Once the filters are installed in the filter wheel, place the wheel back on
the pin in the base of the instrument, making sure the filter wheel is
sitting flat and that it meshes with the filter wheel drive gear.
11. Install the filter wheel cover with the four thumbscrews.
Note: The cover can only be installed one way.
12. Place the top cover on the base, and carefully turn the instrument
upside down.
13. Reinstall the 4 screws with washers to hold the top cover in place.
14. Connect the power supply and cable to the rear of the instrument.
Important!
Store unused filters in a cool, dry place
away from direct sunlight. The filters can be wrapped
in a piece of lens paper to protect them from scratches
and dust accumulation.
