5 Shutdown of the FARO Photon Laser Scanner
The FARO Photon Laser Scanner has a PC with a hard drive integrated. This internal
PC must be shut down before turning off the power supply. If the power supply is
disconnected or switched off without the scanner being previously shut down, it may
damage the internal PC and might lead to a loss of data.
To shut down the FARO Photon Laser Scanner, select “Shutdown Scanner” in the
Scanner menu of the FARO Record software. While the scanner is shutting down a
dialog will appear showing the shut down status.
DO NOT
turn off the power of the
scanner until this dialog has disappeared and the shut down cycle is complete.

Alternatively you can use the button on the scanner to shut
down the scanner. Press the On/Off button on the scanner
for at least 5 seconds. Wait until the shutdown cycle is
complete and the green Motor and PC LEDs are switched
off.
Once the scanner has been completely shut down, the external PC may be shut down
and all power then turned off. When switching off the power, the scanner’s Power LED
will change to red for a short moment and will then be switched off. Disconnect all
cables and secure the equipment in protective cases.
Take care to unplug the bend connector from the scanner by pulling at the
connector only! Do not pull at the combined data and power cable. Else the
connector and the internal PC of the scanner can be damaged!
