Mounting the Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor to a Gyroscope
Use the Gyroscope Mounting Bracket (ME-8963, available separately) to
mount the Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor to the Three-Axis Gyroscope
(ME-8960). Remove the gyroscope assembly from the vertical shaft of the
large “A” base. Mount the Gyroscope Mounting Bracket onto the vertical
shaft. Remove the three-step pulley from the Wireless Rotary Motion
Sensor, and mount the sensor on the Gyroscope Mounting Bracket with the
thumbscrews included with the bracket. Mount the slotted guide arm onto
the shaft of the Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor. Replace the gyroscope
assembly on the vertical shaft.
