CARE AND TRANSPORT 

 

Cleaning Information 

 Before  cleaning  any  external  part  of  the  apparatus,  make  sure  that  USB 
port and the battery compartment cover has been closed. If a damp cloth is 
used,  make  sure  it  is  not  too  wet,  to  avoid  any  damage  to  the  electrical 
components  of  the  equipment.  Wait  until  the  equipment  is  totally  dry 
before using it. 

The  C-Thrue should be cleaned periodically using a damp cloth. 

Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents. 

Do  not  apply  any  liquid  directly  onto  the  electrical  contacts  of  the  
connectors.  

If  a  specific  spray  is  used  to  clean  the  touchscreen,  make  sure  it  is  not 
flammable; in any case, do not spray it directly on the screen, instead, spray 
it onto the cleaning cloth. 

 

Battery Removal Information 

For the  external PC  battery removal instruction, please  do refer  to the PC 

user’ manual.

 

Radar batteries: 

Manufacturer: FIAMM FG21202 / SAFT MP176065 

Type: rechargeable lithium-ion 

Characteristics: 15V-3.2Ah 

Removal instructions: 

 

Be sure that the system is off. 

 

Use the ¼ turn left screw to open the battery compartment cover 

 

Remove  the  battery  from  the  compartment  (optional)  opening  the 
strap. 

 

Periodical Check 

The Operator should periodically check the status of the System 

 

Proper system use 

 

Surface  of  use: 

operating  the  system  over  very  rough  or  sharp 

surface is not recommended. 

 

 

A

t  least  one  of  the  4  wheels  must  be  always  in  contact  to  the 

surface  during  the  acquisition,  in  order  to  measure  correctly  the 
distance travelled

The  best  radar image  results are reached when 

all the 4 wheels are in contact with the surface itself

 

 

Safety lace: 

the operator has to use the safety lace secured to wrist 

and  to  the  system,  in  each  situation  during  the  acquisition  phase 

over surfaces the optimal height of the system’s antenna is reached 

when all the 4 wheels are in contact with the surface itself  

 

Allowed velocity

: the system has to be use only with human hands

 

 

Moving and correct usage of the  system

:  to transport  the  system 

from one site to the next, always use its suitcase. 

 

 

CAUTION

: insert the battery in a dry location 

 

 

The  following  points  must  be  followed  to  operate  in  safety 
conditions, to avoid any issues to the system parts and to secure 
a long life to the system
