Attaching The Barrier Filter - Nikon Eclipse Ni-E Instruction Manual

■ Attaching the barrier filter

The wheel has one empty hole and seven filter holder attachment sections. The empty hole is address 1 and the
barrier filter cannot be attached here. Attach the desired barrier filter (φ25/thickness 5 mm or less) in a wheel at
address 2 to 8.
Precaution for attaching/removing the barrier filter
• Be sure to check that the illuminator is off when attaching or removing the barrier filter.
• When attaching the barrier filter, check that the power of control box A is OFF and manually rotate the
motorized barrier filter wheel to attach it.
(1) Loosen the cover fixing screws (x2) at the barrier
filter mount and remove the cover.
(2) Manually rotate the wheel until you see the desired
wheel address.
(3) Use a hex driver (2 mm across flats) to remove the
filter holder fixing screw and pull out the filter holder.
(4) Remove the holding ring from the filter holder.
(5) Place the barrier filter in the filter holder and secure
it with a holding ring. (Attach the filter at a slightly
tilted angle.)
(6) Insert the filter holder into the wheel and tighten the
filter holder fixing screw. Be sure to attach at the
same wheel address as the filter holder number.
(7) Replace the cover at the barrier filter mount and
tighten the fixing screws to secure the cover.
A nameplate indicating the filter type can be attached on
the cover at the barrier filter mount.
The number at the front center of the filter holder
indicates the barrier filter wheel address currently in the
optical path.
