Disassembly
You can disassemble the 41AC-4 by reversing the procedure described on the preceding pages.
Two points need special attention:
Removing the Windscreen
The windscreen tube is held in place by a locking mechanism. Therefore, some force must be
applied to slide the tube back up. See Fig. 7a.
1. Push at the end of the tube with a finger nail or a piece of hard plastic.
Caution.
Do NOT pull at the foam as this could cause it to deform or loosen it from the tube.
Disconnecting Preamplifier and Cable
When disconnecting the cable from the preamplifier, you must push the black release tube
upwards. This will cause the LEMO connector’s locks to release.
1. Unscrew the top cone (see Fig. 7, a2).
2. Push the black release tube upwards. See Fig. 7b, 1.
3. Pull the cable downwards to disconnect it from the preamplifier. Fig. 7b, 2.
