To support the mounting architecture, the device features screw terminals that simplify wiring once the unit is in place:
The primary mounting feature of the DT 406 is its enclosure design, engineered for standardized industrial installation:
The connection between the DT 406 spindle and the driven component requires a rigid coupling to prevent backlash. mount with dt 406
Step 1: Prepare the Rail Ensure your rifle’s rail is clean. The DT 406 requires a specific rail profile (usually a 1913 Picatinny or a proprietary dovetail slot). Remove all oil from the rail slots.
Step 2: Seat the Mount Slide the mount with DT 406 onto the rail from the rear. Unlike Picatinny, where you drop it on, the DT system requires you to feed it on. Ensure the recoil lug on the mount engages a solid rail slot at the front of your receiver. To support the mounting architecture, the device features
Step 3: The Tightening Sequence
Step 4: Scope Installation
The DT 406 is designed to mount directly to other E2C components (such as slides, vertical axes, or grippers) without adapter plates. This "unit construction" principle allows for:
Look for:
When an equipment manual states: "Mount the unit with DT 406," it is a prescriptive engineering requirement, not a suggestion. The phrase serves three critical purposes:
