Chapter 8: Maintenance
We recommend that you check your FARO Focus Premium at least once a month. This allows you to
spot trouble before it starts, and provides you with an efficient measuring system.
The FARO Focus Premium is a precision instrument that contains many sensitive components, and thus
must be handled with care. Follow these procedures to prevent problems:
l
Check the cables for damage to outside insulation, connectors, and pins.
l
Check the housing of the scanner for damage.
l
Check the housing and the connectors of the battery for damage.
l
Place a dust cover over the scanner, when not in use.
l
Do not lubricate the FARO Focus Premium.
l
Clean the mirror if it becomes dirty. Refer to the user manual for mirror cleaning instructions
To ensure proper functioning of the scanner, it should be checked by FARO customer service on a
regular basis within the yearly maintenance and certification service. The service intervals should not
exceed one year. Contact your local FARO Customer Service team for more information.
WARNING: Hand injuries due to spinning mirror
If the scanner is accidentally switched on, the mirrors may start to turn. Before starting
any cleaning activity:
- shut-down the laser scanner module and remove the battery pack.
- if using an external power supply, remove the power line.
This will prevent the mirror from turning during the cleaning.
Cleaning Instructions for Optics
Major contamination and improper cleaning of optics and lenses can impact the scanning quality. Major
damage or wear might require a complete replacement of the part.
