SolarMax II 40mm, 60mm and 90mm Filter Sets Congratulations on your purchase of a SolarMax II H-a filter set! Be sure to read the safety and cleaning instructions on page 4 and 13 before using your SolarMax II filter. You can refer to the diagrams below for questions regarding the components of your system. Never point your telescope at the sun until your filter set is fully assembled on the telescope. Please read these instructions in full before setting up your new filter set and contact our customer service if you have any questions. Before purchasing any of the accessories list below please contact Meade customer service for guidance regarding correct selection and mounting. Adaptor Plates - In order to mount the external etalon filter unit on your telescope, with the exception of a few refractors, you will need an adaptor plate. Meade does not manufacture or supply these adaptors and is not responsible for the performance and safety of our filters when used with these adaptor plates. When mounting Coronado filters on telescopes other than Coronado SolarMax or SolarMax II telescopes, the user assumes the responsibility for the correct mounting and safety of the system. Mounting SolarMax II - Never point your telescope at the sun until your filter set is fully assembled on the telescope. Coronado recommends that you have your telescope fully mounted and pointing away from the Sun while attaching the filters. The Tmax is designed to be mounted on the objective lens of your telescope either directly or via an adaptor plate. Make sure that the Tmax is fully threaded into the adaptor plate or telescope objective cell. Blocking Filters - This is an essential component of your H-a set up and must be installed for the system to work and be safe to use. BF5, BF10, BF15 - Each of these are housed in a 1.25" right angle diagonal. Slide the silver draw tube into the focuser and tighten the retention system of your telescope. If you have a 2" focuser you will need a reducer to 1.25". Meade manufactures a Zero Length Adaptor for this purpose that does not add travel to the focuser, call us for details. The BF15 is also available in a 1.25" straight through configuration for an additional charge. BF30 - This is a 2" straight through design of our BF series, designed for use on telescopes with FL of 1,500mm to 3,000mm. Slide the silver draw tube into the focuser and tighten the retention system of your telescope. Coronado Tmax™ tilt wheel External Etalon unit RichView™ tuning ring Side View 11 Front View
