3 First Steps
Inspection Please pay attention to the following steps when unpacking:
1. Check the packaging for signs of unsuitable handling during transport.
2. After unpacking, check all components for external damage (scratches,
loose screws, damaged components etc.).
3. In the case of a wrong delivery, damage or missing parts, immediately
inform your local Polytec representative, stating the serial number of the
instrument. The serial number can be found on the identification label.
You will find the identification label on the instruments (refer to
SECTION
3.3) as well as on the inside cover of this manual.
4. Carefully retain the original packaging in case you have to return the
instruments.
Install the instrument and carry out a first functional test as described in
SECTION

3.2 Operating and Maintenance Requirements
Ambient
conditions
The instrument can be operated in dry rooms under normal climatic conditions
(refer to specifications in
CHAPTER
7). In particular the optical components are
sensitive to moisture, high temperatures, vibrations and dirt.
If you start operating the instrument after storing it in a cold environment,
allow a sufficient acclimatization period before switching it on. Avoid
condensing moisture on the optical components as a result of a rapid
temperature change.
Assembly A scanning head must not be set up provisionally but must be securely
mounted as free of vibration as possible on a stable tripod or an alternative
stable base using the mounting threads.
Cooling Remove the covers of the system cabinet, before you are operating the
instrument in the system cabinet.
Always keep the air inlets free. The distance to the wall must be at least
50 mm ! Provide sufficient free space under the instrument as air vents are
located there !
Cooling of the
scanning head
At ambient temperatures above 35°C (95°F) you may only operate the
scanning head if the scanning head is assembled on a tripod so that also its
bottom side is freely accessible (e.g. VIB-A-T02).
