How to Size Your Objective
(Please refer to the diagrams shown below)

A is the diameter of the spring loaded retractable portion of the objective. This is the diameter that the heater band must fit.
B is the minimum vertical surface needed to mount the Objective Heater and transfer heat.


        

Please note that the above diagram depicts a typical Objective Heater mounting location. There are a wide variety of objective configurations. Therefore it may be necessary to mount an Objective Heater at a different location than indicated above. If the geometry of your objective will not accommodate an Objective Heater, contact us via e-mail with the information below, or Click Here for a faxable copy. Please add your contact information and we will give you a definite answer as to whether your objective can accept an Objective Heater.  Attn: Sales, Fax: (724)282-0745
