7. Operation
7.1 Carrying and using the system
The scanner can be used without the monitor for scan-
ning, or the monitor can be carried in the PSA 61 soft
pouch on the PSA 60 shoulder belt. The first option is
advantageous when working in areas that are difficult
to access and maximum mobility is required, such as
on a scaffold or ladder. When the scanner memory is
full (9 Imagescans made, 1 complete Blockscan or 30 m
of Quickscan have been recorded), the user must return
to the monitor to transfer the data. The monitor can be
kept nearby (e.g. at the foot of the scaffold, in a vehicle,
in the site office etc.). When the user intends to make
more scans than the scanner is capable of storing in its
memory and wishes to avoid repeated journeys to the
monitor, the monitor can be attached to a belt or carried
using the shoulder strap supplied.
-CAUTION-
The temperature inside a vehicle that is left exposed to
the heat of the sun can easily exceed the maximum stor-
age temperature for the PS 200. Damage to one or more
components of the PS 200 may occur if it is stored in
temperatures exceeding 60 °C or 158 °F.
