Assembly Instructions
1. Attach part 1 to the spectrograph wall (dashed line in illustration) with the socket
head screws provided.
2. Leaving 1/4" of thread exposed, mount the three (3) hex head screws and nuts to
part 3.
3. Mount the adapter to the detector flange and rotate the adapter so the screw heads are
over the narrow end of the slots.

adapter together, as they can be permanently damaged by excessive force.
