5 Maintenance and care of the Quarryman Pro
5.1 General
Attempts to dismantle or repair the Quarryman Pro and accessories can be hazardous and costly if attempted by
untrained personnel. Unauthorised attempts to carry out maintenance work on the equipment will void all warranty
cover. Maintenance carried out by the operator therefore, should be restricted to the cleaning and inspection of
external surfaces, lens windows and operating controls.
In addition, you should carry out regular functional testing of the system. Detect and report damage, malfunctions
or poor performance to Carlson or a local Carlson representative.
Arrange a yearly calibration for your Quarryman Pro system to ensure that it is kept in optimum condition and to
ensure the highest possible quality of data.
A troubleshooting guide which outlines some of the most common support questions is included in section 9. For
issues not dealt with below or in the troubleshooting section, contact Carlson or a local Carlson representative for
further assistance.
5.2 In Use
Avoid directing the Quarryman Pro laser towards the sun or other high-power infrared light sources.
Avoid mechanical shock.
Ensure the tripod or other mounting system is securely set up and on stable ground to avoid the instrument being
disturbed or knocked over. When moving from one instrument set-up to another, always detach the Quarryman Pro
from the tripod and carry the two items separately.
The supplied battery pack will benefit from being kept fully charged and receiving steady use. Recharging the battery
after a short period of use will not affect its performance or life expectancy.
Inspect and check the probe and accessories for wear, tear and damage after each use.
Always clean and dry the equipment after use. See below for details.
5.3 Cleaning the Quarryman Pro
Always ensure that the Quarryman Pro and all accessories are thoroughly cleaned and dried before packing them
in the transit case after a deployment.
Use clean water to remove mud, grit and other materials from the main body of the probe after use. Do not immerse
the Quarryman Pro in water. The Quarryman Pro is rated IP66: it is dust-tight and protected against high pressure
water spray from all directions, but not against submersion.
For further cleaning of the Quarryman Pro metalwork and plastic side panels, Carlson recommends that you use a
product such as Amberclens anti-static foam cleaner. If this is not available then use a generic, mild dishwashing
liquid diluted in warm water (0.001%, i.e. 1 ml for every 1l of water). Do not use paint solvents or any other personal,
laundry, or household cleaning detergents as they may contain chemicals that could corrode seals in the Quarryman
Pro. Apply the diluted detergent with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.
Rinse the unit with plain water after using a detergent.
Dry the unit thoroughly after cleaning. Where possible, leave the unit unpacked until it is dry. In case the system is
packed before it has dried, the equipment should be unpacked at the earliest opportunity. Clean and dry the system,
