ball spring plunger may need to be loosened slightly to allow rotation.

to suit the design of the customers flange.
6. The screws/ washers must be inserted in the flange before the camera in fastened to the vacuum chamber
since the rim will be prevented from rotation if any of the screws are fastened.
7. Having loaded the obstructed holes, the rim needs to be rotated to the appropriate index position with the
holes matching the pattern on the customer flange.
8. The plunger can now be re-tightened to locate and lock the position. The rim may need to be rotated back and
forth slightly about the required index position to verify engagement.
9. The camera can now be assembled onto the customer flange. An open ended wrench is required to tighten the
M8 screws. Please observe the torque pattern recommended for the ICF 152.

• When not in use the window should be covered and protected.
• Not suitable for mounting to vacuum chamber.
• Due to the exposed nature of the window, care should be taken with the camera, as damage can easily occur
through mishandling or by contamination.
• If due to accident or misuse the window becomes contaminated, please contact Andor immediately for advice
on cleaning.
The beryllium foil window is very brittle therefore extreme care should be taken to avoid shock
damage. If the foil is broken there is a health risk. Please contact Andor for further information if
required.
