Assembly Instructions
1. Make sure that the shipping cover has been removed from the detector port on the
spectrograph.
2. Loosen the setscrews holding the sliding tube in the spectrograph and remove the
tube. If there is a spacer plate installed on the sliding tube, remove it.
3. Place the flat side of the adapter plate against the face of the detector.
4. Insert the threaded C-mount adapter through the center hole in the plate and screw
the adapter into the detector’s C-mount.
5. Using three (3) 1/4" long button head screws, secure the sliding tube to the adapter
plate.
6. Gently insert the sliding tube into the spectrograph and secure it with the setscrews.
Note: Adapter parts are machined to provide a tight fit. It may be necessary to rotate the
detector back and forth when inserting the sliding tube into the spectrograph. Forcing the tube
into the spectrometer could permanently damage the tube and the spectrometer opening.
