attached to one end. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the two
screws that hold the rod clamp. Remove the rod clamp and screws.
(Please put the rod clamp and screws in a safe place for future use.)
The Rotary Motion Sensor also comes with a rubber “O” ring in the
largest groove of the three-step pulley that is attached to the sensor’s
shaft. Remove the “O” ring from the three-step pulley and put the ring
in a safe place for future use. The sensor is now ready to mount on the
Accessory Holder bracket.
Prepare the Mounting Bracket
The bracket comes with two thumb-
screws stored in threaded holes on
the side of the bracket. Remove the
two thumbscrews and set them aside for now.
The bracket also holds the plastic belt. The belt is wrapped twice around
two semi-circular notches on the top and bottom edges of the bracket.
Unwrap the belt from the notches and set it aside for now.
Attach the Rotary
Motion Sensor
Turn the Rotary Motion
Sensor so the three-step
pulley faces the Accessory
Holder and the threaded
holes in the end of the
sensor line up with the holes of the Mounting Bracket. Use
the two thumbscrews to attach the Rotary Motion Sensor to
the Mounting Bracket.
Put on the Plastic Belt
Loop the bottom of the plastic belt around the three-step
pulley of the
Rotary Motion
Sensor so the bottom
of the belt is in the
large-diameter
groove of the step-
pulley.
Attach the Polarizer
Get the Polarizer that
has the groove on its
front edge. Slip the
top of the plastic belt
into the groove on
the front edge of the
Polarizer. Snap the
Polarizer into place
on the Accessory
Holder.
