Chapter 3: Safety Precautions and Maintenance
Maintenance
General
It is recommended that you check your Focus
3D
X 130 at least once a month.
This enables you to spot trouble before it starts and helps provide you with an
efficient measuring system.
The Focus
3D
X 130 is a precision instrument that contains many sensitive
components, and it must be handled with care. Follow these procedures to
prevent problems with your system:
• Check the cables for damage to outside insulation, connectors, and pins.
• Check the housing of the scanner for damage.
• Check the housing and the connectors of the battery for damage.
• Place a dust cover over the Focus
3D
X 130 when it is not in use.
• Do not lubricate the Focus
3D
X 130.
To ensure proper functioning of the Focus
3D
X 130, 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 a maximum period
of one year. Please contact your local FARO Customer Service team for more
information.
Cleaning Instructions for Optics
ATTENTION
:
To avoid unnecessary damage or wear, only clean the optics
when the degree of contamination has an impact on the scan quality (e.g. an
increase in range noise or a decrease in scan range) and requires cleaning
for proper function.
Major contamination and improper handling to clean optics may impact the
scanning quality.
Self-caused damages can result in a complete replacement
of the part at the expense of the customer.
• We recommend using latex gloves. If you are suffering from latex allergies
please use gloves that are suitable for you. Lightly rub the gloves after taking
them off with laboratory cloths and isopropanol to remove grease and dirt.
• Do not touch the optical surfaces with bare hands or laboratory gloves if at all
possible.
•
ATTENTION
: Before cleaning the mirror optics, cover the lens with a cap
and avoid any contact with the lens.
