Scanner Field Use and Operation
This section describes some essential considerations and guidelines for using the LPX-1000 Scanner System in the
field. It is recommended that you read this section thoroughly prior to using the scanner in the field.
Safety Considerations
A safety line should be used when the scanner is used at any elevated position. This will minimize any damage to
the scanner and more importantly reduce the possibility of injury to anyone on the ground.
Never allow work or activity underneath the scanner while in use.
Handling the Scanner
Care must be exercised when handling the LPX-1000. The Y Axis or
Y Axis motor housing (shown right) should never be used when
manipulating the position of the scanner or removing the scanner from
the surface.
Y Axis Adjustment
The Y Axis can be adjusted to conform to a wide variety of scanning
arrangements. The figure to the right shows the screws used to adjust
each pivot point of the arm. Figure 6 shows some of the adjustments that
can be made to the Y Axis.
Tightening the Adjustment Screws
When adjusting the Y Axis positions, the screws require only minimal torque. Tighten the screws only to the point
where there is no movement in the arm. Never over-tighten them.
Attaching the Scanner
DO NOT use this Y Axis or Y
Axis Motor Housing as a handle
for removing the scanner.
