Mounting Method Conversion of High-Power SLMs

For the High-Power SLMs, the All-in-One mounting method supports height
adjustment only. To enable extra panel tip/tilt adjustments and a more flexible
panel mounting configuration, convert the All-in-One mode to Separate-Panel
mode.
To convert your SLM to Separate-Panel Mode, please always follow the steps as
described below:
•
Step 1: Wear anti-electrostatic band and talc-free gloves before any
operations. DO NOT touch any electrodes on the PCBA that are
integrated in the adaptor board.
•
Step 2: Disconnect the FPCs.
Open the lid of the Adapter Board by removing the two locking screws (marked
with red in Figure 28) with the included 2 mm balldriver.
Lift the FPC connector lid of the Board side (see Figure 29) up and disconnect the
FPC carefully. Repeat the same procedure to disconnect the FPC on the Panel
side, see Figure 30.
