When the Simpliport
®
180 System is mounted in direct sunlight, the optic signal may be
difficult to read or completely washed out by the intensity of the sunlight. Perform the
following steps to improve the viewing of the water level in the gage glass. Note that the wide
angle feature of the Simpliport 180 will no longer be available and the observer must look
directly (horizontally) into the front hood to see the water level.
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws (Item #5) from the Top End Cap (Item
#2) and remove the cap.
2. Carefully slide out the Glass Shield (Item #10), the Optic Outputs (Item #7), and the Optic
Output Plate (Item #9). Note: Black rubber spacer (not shown in detail below) on the bottom
end cap under the Glass Shield must remain in place.
3. Set the Optic Outputs aside.
4. Insert the Glass Shield and Optic Output Plate back into the glass track in the Viewing Hood
Extrusion (Item #6) with the Plate going in front of the Glass as shown in the illustration below.
5. Replace the Top End Cap, aligning the screw holes in the Cap with corresponding screw
holes in the Side Panels (Item #3) and the Viewing Hood Extrusion.
6. Replace the four screws and tighten.
7.
The conversion is now complete and the Front Hood can be installed back on to the
Simpliport Gage Glass.
