UltraScan PRO Installation

 

The UltraScan PRO is simple to set up and attach to your computer.  The following instructions guide 
you through the initial installation of your UltraScan PRO system.  

1.

 

Unpack all cartons and remove wrappings and cable ties. Inspect for damage and notify the 
carrier and HunterLab immediately if any is discovered. Save the packing material in case it 
becomes necessary to return the instrument to the factory. 

2.

 

Place the UltraScan PRO on a flat working surface where the measurements will be made.  
Place the computer near the sensor. 

3.

 

Ensure that the on/off switch on the back of the sensor is set to off. 

4.

 

Connect the power cord to the sensor and to a power outlet. 

5.

 

Connect the female end of the 9-pin communications cable to the appropriate computer 
port. Connect the male end of the 9-pin cable to the sensor. To use USB communications, 
connect the USB cable from the computer to a USB to serial adapter and then the serial 
cable to the instrument.    

 

Note: The UltraScan PRO should be lifted from under the base plate, near the center of 

the unit. It should not be carried by grasping any part of the plastic housing. Do not 

block the vents in the top cover of the UltraScan PRO or the instrument may overheat. 

Note: Refer to the UltraScan PRO Specifications section for recommendations 

concerning the powerline and its conditioning. 

 

CAUTION:  Use only the power cord included with this instrument or a replacement 
obtained from HunterLab (HL#A13-1002-655 for 110V, A13-1002-656 for 220V).  Be 

certain that the power cord is in good condition before connecting it. The         

UltraScan PRO is grounded using the grounding portion of this power cord. Only plug 

this cord into a properly grounded power outlet. Do not use an inappropriate adapter 

to plug the instrument into an ungrounded outlet or electric shock may occur. More 

information on the wiring of the power cord can be found in the UltraScan PRO 

Specifications section.
