5. After installation, recheck the position of
the cover. Ensure that the inner rim line of
the cover is aligned parallel to the inner
edge of the scanner chassis, with an offset
of 3 to 4 mm. The scanner chassis should
be visible from all sides.

Accessing the laser scanner with the thermal protection cover installed
As long as the FARO Laser Scanner is exposed to hot climate conditions or intense direct sunlight with
temperatures greater than 40 °C, it is highly recommended to leave the cover installed over the full working
period or series of scanning measurements. But if you need to access the scanner, the cover front faces can
be separately opened to access the display panel or power pack and SD card slot.
To open a single front face of the cover, pull the vertical Velcro flaps away from the device and lift the front
face. For free access to the scanner in standby mode, the opened front face can also be flipped over to the
top of the scanner.
