4.2 Installing the Beamsplitter
Note: Beamsplitter / Mirror removal and installation is not for the faint of heart. It requires great care and
confidence. Do not hurry this process!
Tools: Soft cotton disposable gloves, clean compressed air or photo grade canned air, sticky tape style lint
roller brush. Pancro or Alcohol-only glass cleaner.
Tip: To determine the reflective side of the glass, use a non-abrasive object (rubber eraser, cotton gloved
finger, etc.) and touch the surface of the mirror. If you can touch your own reflection, it is the reflective side
of the mirror. If there appears to be a gap between your object and the reflection, it is the anti-reflective side
of the mirror.

Inner Details of the Mirrorbox
1. Disengage the upper clamps (1), and remove the security strip from the top of the mirror box. Place
it to the side.
2. Disengage the lower inner clamp (2).
3. Eliminate any lint and dust particles that have accumulated on the black velvet mirror box interior.
Use the compressed air and lint roller tools to accomplish this.
4. Clean the inside, reflective side of the mirror.
5. Using the soft cotton gloves, hold the mirror with 2 hands, anti-reflective side up, from the bottom or
the edge of the mirror. The bottom edge is the narrowest part of the trapezoid shape.
6. Carefully insert the glass into the mirror box guides and behind the lower clamp. The mirror will be
secure when it finds the upper groove of the mirror box guide. Be careful to place the mirror into its
frame, rather than dropping it into place.
7. Once the mirror is in place, close the side mirror clamp (2). The mirror is now secured.
