6. Detach the scanner from the chassis.
l
Turn the knob on the right side of the scanner coun-
terclockwise to unscrew.
l
The knob disengages and retracts back towards the
chassis.
Tip:
If the knob does not disengage readily, make
sure the scanner body is pulled out sufficiently
from the chassis.
7. Remove scanner.
l
Grasp both sides of the scanner and remove. Place
your fingers under the two dovetail rails as shown in
the photo.
l
Use care because the scanner is heavy.
l
Preferably place the scanner right in front of the AFM
and then pick it up again to move it to its storage loc-
ation.
14.2 Scanner storage
The scanner should be stored under basic laboratory conditions, preferably in a locked cabinet or
drawer where it will not collect dust, be accidentally knocked over, or be moved without author-
ization. At the very minimum, place it on a shelf and cover with a soft cloth.
14.3 Replacing the scanner
The following procedure shows the replacement of the environmental scanner. The steps are the
same for any other model.
1. Verify that the ARC2 is off.
l
Double check that the ARC2 power light is indeed off.
If not, turn off the controller.
2. Clear a space in front of the AFM.
3. Set the scanner down in front of the AFM.
4. Swing the scanner connector to the side so it does not block the scanner's insertion.
