Mounting Directions
1.
Mount the flange to the detector using the
two half-rings and the screws provided.
Note that the tapered side of each half-ring
faces the adapter (Figure 5).
2.
Next, thread the 10-32 hex screws
halfway into three of the six tapped holes
in the spectrograph’s exit plane.
3.
Position the detector so the three hex head
screws line up with the openings in the
adapter flange.
4.
Slide the detector over the screws and
rotate into the proper orientation.

Entrance Slit Shutter
An entrance slit shutter can either be mounted on the entrance slit of the spectrograph or
used as a stand-alone shutter. Shutters for stand-alone operation have two tapped holes
for mounting to a stand: one metric, the other English.
Entrance slit shutter mounts come in two types. The first type (Figure 6) is for use with
CP-200 and HR-320 Spectrographs.
First Shutter Type Mounting Directions
1.
Remove the Adapter Mount Cover by
removing the four Phillips head screws.
2.
Place the Adapter Mount Body over the
entrance slit.
3.
Mount it by threading the Retainer to the
spectrograph.
4.
Replace the shutter and the Adapter
Mount Cover.
