2. Unscrew and remove the Allen M3 x screws on the carrier brackets (holders) of micro
switches; the carrier brackets will loosen. This will allow access to the two Allen screws
M5 x (See (3/Fig.4/p.14)) which fix the detector on the left side to its carrier plate on
the "flying wing". The two Allen screws M5 x (3/Fig.6/p.15) that fix the detector to its
carrier plate on the right side are readily accessible.

3. Remove the grid. First, carefully unscrew the two M2 screws on each of the grid hold-
ers.
4. Remove the left L-shaped grid holder and then the right; put them in a safe place.
5. The way the grid is held on the two longitudinal sliders ((2/Fig.4/p.14) and
(2/Fig.5/p.14)) becomes apparent. Remove the grid and store it in a safe place.

NOTE
When removing the grid, the top of the detector (which is the slid-
ing surface for the grid) is completely unprotected. Handle it with
utmost care; you may want to cover this surface with a fine cloth
to avoid any damage or scratches. Never use this surface as a tray
or a repository.
6. Remove the leads for the magnification cable from connector X 846 on the left side of
the detector; remember that the polarity is important. The two leads are color coded; the
ground (green-yellow) is the upper connection and the blue lead is down below.
