SSR1/MOPR1 CMD Installation

Prepping your light for the CMD:

In the most ideal state, the CMD would be attached to a brand-new weapon light with no carbon build up on the outside of the light bezel.  If the CMD is attached to a used light with carbon accumulation on the outer diameter of the bezel, proceed to remove as much carbon as possible safely.

*Note: Light bezels with significant carbon build up may impact tolerances and the ability for the CMD clamping mechanism to be retained to the light bezel.  We do not encourage this.

 The “middle-back” of the CMD should be directly towards the muzzle blast.

Equipment needed:

  • Allen wrench size = H2.5, aka 2.5mm

  • Digital in/lbs. capable torque-screwdriver or equivalent

  • Q-tips

  • Clean rag

Installation instructions:

1.       Unscrew the locking screw out of the CMD.

a.       Clean the screws threads to remove any particles and oil.

b.       Clean the CMDs’ internal threads to remove any particles and oil.

c.       Using a very slight amount of Vibra-Tite, apply to the screw threads and re-install the locking screw. (Do not tighten CMD clamping arms yet)

2.       Clean the inside diameter of the CMD.

3.       Install the CMD on the light head. The screw should be loose enough to where the CMD can slide on the light head without resistance.

4.       Position the backside of the CMD where the muzzle blast is coming from.

We recommend that the distance between the top of the clamp and the bezel face be greater than or equal to 0.2”.

b.       Once ideal position is found, slightly tighten the locking screw to retain the CMD in the needed position. 

c.       Using your in/lbs capable torque wrench, tighten the locking screw to 8 in/lbs.
