2.1.2 Installing the Optical Lid on the Reaction Module
To attach the optical lid that is designed for use with the iQ Optical system, reverse the
procedure discussed above.
1. Hold the optical lid in one hand and the ribbon cables in the other. Slide the optical lid onto
the tracks of the reaction module from the front.
2. Plug the two ribbon cables into the sockets on top of the reaction module; they click into
place (see Figure 3.)
3. Slide ribbon cable gently back under plastic retainer.
4. Replace the two screws with spacers behind each of the ribbon cables and tighten with a
Phillips screwdriver. The lid should slide freely along the track without binding the cables.
5. Push the optical lid backwards; replace the front baffle and tighten the screws (see Figure 2.)
Push the baffle down with gentle force to seat it. Check that it is flush with the bottom of the
reaction module.
6. Push the sliding rear cover on top of the chassis as far back as it will go (see Figure 5.)
7. Push the green latches on the reaction module up.
8. Lift the reaction module up by the handle and install onto the chassis; be sure the rear of
the reaction module goes over the front lip of the sliding rear cover. Put the green latches
and then the lid handle down.
