FaroArm
The FaroArm is a precision device that contains many sensitive
components, and it should be handled with care. Take the following
precautions to prevent problems from developing with your system:
• Place a dust cover over the FaroArm when not in use.
• Clean with a dry dust cloth. For heavy dirt buildups, use a very small
amount of warm water and gently clean the Arm. Be very careful not
to bend the Arm while cleaning.
• Check the cables for damage to outside insulation, connectors, and
pins.
• Do not lubricate the FaroArm.
The FaroArm is calibrated at FARO’s production facility and should
only need to be recalibrated after the unit has been subjected to a shock
that removes surface material or causes bending. Periodic certification
tests should be completed to certify the FaroArm accuracy and
repeatability.
See “FaroArm Certification” on page 46.
FARO recommends you return your FaroArm to a service center, once a
year, for our annual certification and a 15 point check up.
Host Computer
The Computer is an electronic instrument containing many sensitive
components. It should be handled with care. Here are some steps you
can take to prevent damage to your system:
• Never use the computer in harsh environments where it may be
subjected to rapid temperature change or excessive dust.
• Never expose the computer to excessive shock or vibration.
• Prevent overheating by keeping the computer's air vents clear of any
obstructions.
• Never place anything on top of the computer when it is recharging or
operating. This can cause the computer to overheat.
• Do not operate the computer from an AC outlet where voltage
fluctuates excessively. Use a power strip with a surge protector.
