Unpacking the Laser Scanner and Tray
Note: Explicit packing/unpacking instructions are located in a clear document envelope
attached on the outside of the shipping container. Refer to these instructions at all times
prior to unpacking or packing.
Unpack the laser scanner by following the steps below:
1. Cut the metal strap on the instrument packaging
2. Slide the cardboard cover off vertically
3. Remove the front and rear packaging
4. Grip the bottom of the scanner on both sides and place on the bench top.
Warning: Get a helper; a single person should not attempt to lift the scanner.
Warning: Always lift heavy objects with bent knees and a straight back to avoid back
injury.
Caution: Do not supply power to the scanner until the system has been set up following
the installation procedures and the scan head locking screw has been removed. Failure to
remove the locking screw before starting the scanner may damage the instrument.
Note: Retain all packaging materials for future transport of the PharosFX system.
Unlocking the Scan Head
To protect the scanning mechanism during transport, the scanner uses a scan head locking
screw. The screw, which is located at the rear left-hand side of the instrument, restrains the
scan head during transport and must be removed before power is supplied to the scanner.
If the screw is not removed the scanner may be damaged. To remove the locking screw,
follow the procedure outlined below. Refer to figure 3.1 #1 through figure 3.1 #5.
1. Unscrew the metal locking screw by carefully rotating in a counter-clockwise direction.
This will disengage the screw from the scan head.
2. Unscrew the black plastic screw guide by rotating in a counter-clockwise direction.
3. Remove the complete locking screw and guide assembly.
4. Remove the threaded sealing plug located in the storage hole directly below the locking
port.
5. Insert the plug it into the locking port and tighten by clockwise rotation. Insert the locking
screw and guide into the storage hole and tighten by clockwise rotation.
To lock the scan head for future transport; turn on the scanner, this will home the scanning
head. With the power "ON" reverse the procedure listed above.
