Never carry, throw or swing the sensor or scanner by the cables.
!"
Never over-bend the cable at the sensor or scanner housing. Repeated over-bending
may lead to sensor failure.
!"
Never add your own sensor cable extensions or connectors. Our sensor cable is
precisely shielded and calibrated to minimize noise and ensure accurate performance.
If you add an extension cable, you compromise performance, regulatory approvals,
and void your warranty.
!"
To clean your equipment, wipe it with a cloth dampened with cleaning solution
according to your organization's standards. Do not immerse the Scanner, sensor, or
cables in liquids.
!"
Keep the Scanner, sensor, and cables away from sources of heat.
!"
To minimize excessive wear to the Scanner's internal mechanical components and
extend tracker life, shut down the Scanner when not in use. This can be done by
disconnecting power, holding the system in reset using the
CTS Reset feature (if
enabled), sending the SLEEP command, or enabling the Sleep on Reset setting with
the laserBIRD Utility.
SENSOR CONNECTOR
The sensor connector has coaxial pins which carry data from the detectors. Treat the
connections carefully.
1. When installing the connector, rotate the body until the keys mate with those of the
receptacle in the Scanner. Then turn the locking collar, until it clicks.
2. When removing the sensor from the Scanner, push the locking collar of the connector
toward the Scanner, before turning to unlock it.
