Before proceeding the installation of the FPD detector assembly, make sure that the FPD
control module is properly installed into the back detector housing.
 To install the FPD detector assembly on the FPD detector base body
1. Place the jet into the detector base body housing and tighten it. Ensure the jet is perfectly
vertically aligned to avoid damage.
2. Place the FPD on the detector base body, ensuring that the Aluminum ring has been
inserted in the correct position. Tighten the fixing nut by using the FPD fixing tool.
