5.5 Removal of Shipping Restraints
The monochromator enclosure is mounted on wire rope shock absorbers to minimize the effect of
vibration in the ambient environment. The monochromator is locked down for shipment, to prevent
shipping movement from jostling the shock mounts beyond their normal range of motion. Release
the shipping restraints as shown.
The shipping restraints are three (3) captive
screws, circled in the photo at right. Two are at
the front of the monochromator box, and one is
at the rear.
Use a regular screwdriver to loosen the captive
screws. The screw at the rear requires a long
screwdriver shaft, at least 11” (280mm) long, to
comfortably reach the screw.
When the restraints are all loosened, the
monochromator will “float” somewhat on the
wire rope mountings.
The shipping restraints should be locked down any time the instrument is moved, to prevent damage.
Follow the reverse of the above procedure to lock the monochromator down for shipment.
