3.2.3 Removing the Baseplate
In order to help mounting the unit to an optical table, a baseplate is provided with the
unit. However, if the unit is required to be operated free-standing (for example on a
bench), the baseplate can be removed and rubber feet fitted.
The baseplate must be removed before the rubber feet (supplied) can be fitted, or the
unit is connected to the USB controller hub..
1) Using a hexagon key, remove the bolts securing the unit to the baseplate. Retain
the bolts for future use if the baseplate is refitted.
2) Invert the unit.
3) Remove the backing paper from the rubber feet (supplied) taking care not to touch
the exposed adhesive surface.
4) Position the feet as desired, then press and hold for a few seconds until the
adhesive has bonded.
5) The unit may now be used freestanding, sitting on its rubber feet.
