How to identify the Cyclops-7F's optical sensor

Updated over 2 months ago

Distinguishing between Different Cyclops-7F

When a Cyclops-7F is passed on to someone else, it often doesn’t come with instructions for identification. To determine which model you have, you can:

  1. Look at the engraved letter near the bulkhead connectors.

  2. Check the sensor face filters.

  3. Turn on the instrument and read a sample.

  4. Verify the serial number with the Turner Designs Support team.

These methods will help you identify the specific model of your Cyclops-7F.
