If your filter wheel has a shutter, the side of the filter wheel on which the shutter is installed
(the "motor side" as shown in Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3) would typically be mounted toward
the light source. Placing the shutter between the lamp and filters limits the amount of heat
and light to which the filters are exposed and increases the filters' useful lifetime.

2.4 Filter Wheel Assembly

1. Assemble the two Support Rods to the Support Base. Flats have been machined near the
threaded end of these rods to facilitate tightening with a wrench. The two support-base
clamps should be used to anchor the base to some convenient location for testing. These
clamps are designed to allow anchoring to any of the popular hole patterns found in
optical benches.
2. Slide the filter wheel down onto the support rods and lock it at a convenient height using
the wing screws on the mounting ears of the filter wheel.
3. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the LAMBDA 10-B controller has its power turned OFF
before connecting any of the filter wheels or any of standalone SmartShutters to the
controller! Once the controller has been turned off, connect the controller and filter wheel
with the appropriate cable provided. It is important that the screws anchoring the cable
ends be tight to ensure a good connection for the motor power leads and positioning
signals.
