Using the Phantom Holder

1

Placing the SPIRIT Phantom

The Spirit Phantom holder has notches in Part A that the screws in the phantom fit snugly into, indexing its orientation.

The Phantom should be installed in the Phantom Holder with the Label facing up

To ensure the rotational position of the phantom take the rotational alignement jig and place it over the lip of the Coil using the Notch labelled A.

The flat part of the jig will sit against the nut on the phantom at the 10 o’clock position.

The jig then may be removed.
