Sweep has four brass threaded inserts designed to fit
M2.5X0.45 screws in its base. These threaded holes
are the way to mount Sweep to your device. The
threaded
holes are aligned with the scanner’s
measurement angles.
The scanner’s
zero-degree
measurement starting angle is aligned with the
status LED, as shown in
Figure 8.
Sweep can be mounted in any orientation. Sweep’s
rotating head is dynamically balanced, which means
it is immune to linear vibration, but it can be
affected by rotational vibration. Sudden rotational
shocks can cause the head to either slow down or
speed up, which can affect angular measurements. If
Sweep is rotationally jerked hard enough, it can
cause the motor to lose sync, which will trigger a
momentary motor pause, and then restart.
If space is limited, the scanner
’
s plastic bottom piece
can be removed, and the internal motor mounting
holes can be used to mount the device instead, as
shown in Figure 9. Room must be provided for
airflow around the scanner
’
s head, and care must be
taken not to damage the delicate circuit board
components. Using the scanner in this configuration
should only be considered by professionals. A 3D
model that makes these mounting dimensions clear
can be found on our downloads page.
Sweep is rated as IP51, which is to say, it is not dust
or water tight.
It is recommended that Sweep be
placed inside a protective transparent enclosure if
it will be used in dusty or wet environments.
