Shutdown of the FARO Laser Scanner Photon
The FARO Laser Scanner Photon has a PC with a hard drive integrated. This
internal PC must be shut down before turning off the power supply. If the
power supply is disconnected or switched off without the scanner being
previously shut down, it may damage the internal PC and might lead to a
loss of data.
To shut down the FARO Laser Scanner Photon, select “Shutdown Scanner” in
the Scanner menu of the SCENE Record software. While the scanner is
shutting down a dialog will appear showing the shut down status.
DO NOT
turn off the power of the scanner until this dialog has disappeared and the
shut down cycle is complete.

Alternatively you can use the button on the scanner
to shut down the scanner. Press the On/Off button
on the scanner for at least 5 seconds. Wait until the
shutdown cycle is complete and the green Motor and
PC LEDs are switched off.
Once the scanner has been completely shut down, the external PC may be
shut down and all power then turned off. When switching off the power, the
scanner’s Power LED will change to red for a short moment and will then be
switched off. Disconnect all cables and secure the equipment in protective
cases.
Take care to unplug the bend connector from the scanner by pulling
at the connector only! Do not pull at the combined data and power
cable. Else the connector and the internal PC of the scanner can be
damaged!
