2.4 Disassembling the instrument

When the instrument is recovered, you may want to disassemble it. To
do this, reverse the steps above, bearing in mind the following points:

Make sure you only undo the screws that are necessary to

disassemble the instrument, and not the ones which hold each
module together. Each joint has several sets of screws holding it

together. Only one set from each joint needs to be undone—the
set which was added during assembly. For the joint between the

vertical sensor and the hole lock, this is the middle set of
screws; for that between the hole lock and the horizontal

sensors, it is the lower set. The joint between the two horizontal
sensors should not be dismantled.

When you detach one module from the next, do not yank them

apart, since doing this will damage the connectors inside. Insert
flat-head screwdrivers either side of the seal, and carefully lever

both sides up simultaneously so that the modules remain
parallel. You will need someone to support the upper module as

you do this.

When the two parts are separated, tilt the upper one to gain
access to the connectors, and disconnect them without
