Connecting the Detector-Controller Cable
Non-Vacuum
Follow this procedure if you are using the camera in a non-vacuum environment. When
operating the camera outside of a vacuum, the camera will typically have the visible nose
already installed. If the visible nose is not installed, refer to Appendix D, "Replacing the
Open Nose with the Visible Nose", page 93, for installation instructions.

visible nose to the open nose.
1. Verify that the Controller power is OFF.
2. Connect male end of the Detector-Controller cable to the “Detector” port on the back
of the Controller.
