column. If you need higher working heights, we recommend
using a larger tripod. Make sure that a such a tripod is also
stable.
l
For scans close to the ground, slide all leg segments into each
other before setting the leg angle to flat. The rubber feet have a
recess that helps to achieve full-surface contact, even with a flat
leg angle. To do this, turn the feet individually by hand.
l
Ensure that the twist-lock sleeves for leg length adjustment, the
central wing nut of the tripod shoulder, and the tripod head are
always tightly screwed together.
l
To achieve a better grip on hard surfaces, slightly tension the tri-
pod legs before starting a scan. Tension the legs by holding two
of the three tripod legs as close to the ground as possible with
your hands, pulling them slightly apart from each other and
away from the third leg, then pressing them into the ground.
l
Under windy conditions, use sandbags to stabilize each foot of
the tripod. You can also stretch a rope or shock cord between the
tripod’s center hook and a weight, switchable magnetic base, or
existing anchor point.
Mounting and Using the Quick Release
The quick release enables you to quickly and safely attach and
remove the scanner from the tripod. The quick release consists of
these parts:
(See Figure 1-8 on page ii.)
① Scannerplate ② Fixationscrew ③ Centerspindle
④ Spindlescrew ⑤ Tripodplate
Prepare the Tripod
1. Extend the tripod legs and place the tripod on a stable surface at
a convenient height. Ensure that all legs of the tripod are secure.
2. Your tripod might be equipped with one or more set screws in
the platform. Ensure that the set screws are recessed below the
platform. They must not stick up out of the surface.
3. Place the tripod plate over the center screw of the tripod.
4. Ensure that the spindle screw is firmly screwed into the narrow
side of the center spindle.
5. Screw the center spindle firmly onto the tripod.
Prepare the Scanner
1. Place the scanner upside down on a stable, flat surface. Use the
included mirror protection foam to protect the mirror from dirt,
dust, or falling objects.
2. Place the scanner plate onto the base of the scanner. Ensure that
it slides into the circular depression surrounding the center
thread.
3. Use a 4 mm hex key to tighten the four screws, so that the scan-
ner plate is firmly attached to the scanner. Tighten the screws
crosswise. Do not over-tighten.
4. Extend the tripod legs and place the tripod on a stable surface at
a convenient height. Ensure that all legs of the tripod are secure.
Use the Quick Release
1. Ensure that the tripod is level and the tripod plate is firmly
attached to the tripod. Tighten manually, if necessary.
2. Ensure that the fixation screw in the scanner plate is unscrewed,
so that it won’t block the scanner plate from sliding over the cen-
ter spindle.
3. Holding the scanner from both sides, slide the scanner plate over
the center spindle.
4. Manually tighten the fixation screw until the scanner plate is
firmly attached to the center spindle.
You can now use the scanner.
To remove the scanner, loosen the fixation screw and lift the scanner
from the center spindle.
Maintenance
We recommend that you check your FOCUS Premium and FOCUS
Core at least once a month. This allows you to spot trouble before it
starts, and provides you with an efficient measuring system.
FOCUS Premium and FOCUS Core Safety Manual
5
The FOCUS Premium and FOCUS Core is a precision instrument
that contains many sensitive components, and thus must be handled
with care. Follow these procedures to prevent problems:
l
Check the cables for damage to outside insulation, connectors,
and pins.
l
Check the housing of the scanner for damage.
l
Check the housing and the connectors of the battery for damage.
l
Place a dust cover over the scanner, when not in use.
l
Do not lubricate the FOCUS Premium and FOCUS Core.
l
Clean the mirror if it becomes dirty. Refer to the user manual for
mirror cleaning instructions
If the housing of the device becomes dirty or dusty, clean it with a
soft dry cloth. If necessary, dampen the cloth with isopropyl alcohol.
Always unplug the device and remove the battery before cleaning
with alcohol.
To ensure proper functioning of the scanner, it should be checked by
FARO customer service on a regular basis within the yearly main-
tenance and certification service. The service intervals should not
exceed one year. Contact your local FARO Customer Service team
for more information.
WARNING: Hand injuries due to spinning mirror
If the scanner is accidentally switched on, the mirrors may start to
turn. Before starting any cleaning activity:
- shut-down the laser scanner module and remove the battery pack.
- if using an external power supply, remove the power line.
This will prevent the mirror from turning during the cleaning.
