Unpacking
BEFORE REMOVING ANY PARTS FROM
THE CARRYING CASE THE ARRANGEMENT
OF THE VARIOUS ITEMS SHOULD BE
NOTED, SO THAT REPACKING CAN BE
DONE EASILY.
The support frame for the 2 x 2 hood must be
removed from the case before the instrument base
can be lifted out. Depending on prior usage, the
hood may already be attached to the frame and/or
the instrument base. If the entire unit is to be lifted
out as an assembly, caution must be exercised to
assure that the pieces do not separate, since
dropping the instrument may damage the
Velometer.
At the rear of the carrying case is a built-in
accessory case with a hinged lid. Packed inside are
four support dowels, anti-static solution,
detachable handle, and any unmounted hoods. If
the 2 x 4 or 3 x 3 hood size is part of your set, a
1
package of four 8
/
inch dowels will also be found
2
in the case.
If your instrument is equipped with more than one
hood, the frame channels needed to support other
sizes will be found held to the bottom of the
carrying case by elastic straps.
Assembly
Frame Channels
The 2 x 2 size frame is permanently assembled
and ready to use. If your unit includes only this
size, go on to the paragraph on Hood Installation.
Refer to Figures 1 through 4 to determine the
frame channels needed to build any of the
standard-sized frames. Select the pieces required
for the frame size desired and assemble with the
aid of the appropriate figure. Several sections
(numbers 1, 3 and 4)* consist of a straight channel
portion (each a different length) and a corner
piece. This corner piece has an eyelet and slot

PREPARATION FOR USE
arrangement which mates with a similar eyelet and
slot at the end of the straight portion of the
channel pieces (see Figure 5). These pieces can be
slid together, and are self-locking by means of a
retention spring.
The number 1 and 5 channels also have a wing nut
at the straight end which will mate with an angle
and studs on the ends of numbers 2, 5 and 6 to
form the longer frame sides (see Figure 6).
* Each channel is numbered for easy
identification.
