included in your shipment containing spare parts or additional handler options. Open these boxes in the

Open the fred shipping box and remove all parts of the metal fred. Inside the box you will find one

additional set of FRED assembly instructions, Detail Figures A, B and C, and one FRED parts list.

Assemble the base of the FRED first. Refer to Figure A.

1. Using six #1/4 - 20 x 1.75" long bolts and six lock washers, attach the two uprights to

the base plate. Note the location of the small holes in the base in relation to the

uprights.

2. Tighten all six bolts.

3. Locate the two riser bars (#3000-041) and the rigid support bar (#3000-034.) Using

four #1/4 - 20 x 2.75" long bolts, four block washers and four #1/4 - 20 hex nuts,

attach the risers and the rigid support bar to the uprights by inserting the bolts through

the upright, through the riser and then through the holes in the rigid support bar. The

large holes in the riser should be at the top. Assemble the riser bar in the lowest

position initially and then adjust its height as needed. place lock washers and nuts on

all bolts. Do not tighten the bolts yet.

4. Place the handler power supply on the base (#3000-032.) Insert the rubber feet on

the power supply into the pre-cut holes in the base.

Please refer to Figure B. The FRED may be assembled with either of two different pivot points depending

upon your application. The hardware remains the same in both cases. Type A pivot is recommended for

handlers using cable-type test contact interface. Type B pivot is recommended for zero test head

interfaces, or when docking the handler to a manipulator.

NOTE: The maximum slide angle for PLCC devices is 45° from vertical.
