7 FARO Focus scanner settings and usage inflight
7.1 Hardware preparation and mounting before flight
7.1.1 Replacing brackets (X-series only!)
To mount the FARO Focus scanner (X-series only, S-series not required) underneath STORMBEE, the
standard scanner brackets should be replaced with the STORMBEE (provided) helical operation
brackets. Please refer to “ Appendix B: FARO Focus scanner helical operation brackets ” for instructions
on how replace the brackets. The STORMBEE helical operation brackets have a recess which ensures
the scanner remains aligned with STORMBEE
’s mount during flight. These special brackets are also
suitable for static (non-helical) laser scanning inspections, so one should not have to switch brackets
before and after every flight.

7.1.2 Mounting scanner
To prepare STORMBEE after transport for flight, please perform the following steps:
1. Take STORMBEE, the FARO Focus scanner and their accessories out of their transport cases.
Ensure that the FARO Focus scanner (X-series only!) is equipped with the STORMBEE
(provided) helical operation brackets (section 7.1.1
“ Replacing brackets ”) .
2. Mount the FARO Focus scanner underneath the STORMBEE. The FARO Focus scanner is
positioned correctly into its mount if the 12-pin automation interface fits nicely in the
corresponding interface of STORMBEE
’s scanner mount. The pin on the front side of that
mount should be pointing downwards, not forwards. Secure the FARO Focus scanner by
tightening the four bolts through the holes in the top plate of the STORMBEE while holding the
scanner against its mount. Tighten the bolt opposite the last one you tightened in a crisscross
pattern. This insures that the stress is distributed evenly across the FARO Focus mount. When
