Ri interface
1. Open the interface housing by removing the two screws shown (4-40UNC screws and nuts).
2. With the plain side facing up, remove the top half of the housing, so that the interface PCB is exposed and the readhead connection socket isvisible.
3. Taking care not to touch the pins, plugthe connector into the socket in the interface, ensuring correct orientation as shown.
The readhead is connected to the Ri interface via a small, rugged connector to allow for easy feed-through during installation.
