Page 4: Customer Information
1.1 Dear customer The Void Scanner system is designed to be easy to operate. However, we would ask you to take the time to read these operating instructions carefully before using the system, and to keep the manual with the instrument at all times. -
Page 5: Laser Safety
2.1 Void Scanner laser module with red dot laser pointer The laser classification of the Void Scanner is a Class 2M laser product in compliance with the British and European standards for the safety of laser products BS EN 60825-1: 2007. -
Page 6: Void Scanner System
The Void Scanner is just one of many laser systems that have been designed by Carlson. Other products such as the C-ALS (Cavity Auto-scanning Laser System), Quarryman and Boretrak have all been proved over many years of demanding use around the world. -
Page 7: Void Scanner Hardware
Figure 2 Component parts of the Void Scanner The Void Scanner instrument consists of a laser module held between two pivots within a yoke. The yoke itself is held on the end of the horizontal housing. The laser module houses the optical and electronic components that allow distance measurements to be recorded to reflectorless targets up to 150 m from the instrument. - Page 8 Figure 3 The Void Scanner laser module The combination of the two axes of rotation gives the Void Scanner a view encompassing 360° horizontal and 270° vertical rotations respectively. The yoke itself prevents the laser from viewing a 90° sector of the vertical rotational sweep.

Page 11: Data Cable
The interface box is not required if the optional Wi-Fi box is used. See section 4.10. 4.3 Data cable The Void Scanner is operated and controlled via a PC or handheld device operating Cavity Profiler – VS software. A cable is supplied to connect the PC to the interface box or to the battery pack. -
Page 12: Battery Pack
4.4 Battery pack The Void Scanner requires a 12 Vdc power source to operate. A dedicated 12 Vdc battery pack is supplied with the system. The sealed lead acid battery pack is rated to 7 Ah, and will allow continuous operation for up to six hours before recharging, depending upon the type of operations conducted. -
Page 13: Alternative External Power Connections
4.5 Alternative external power connections As well as the supplied battery pack, the Void Scanner may be powered from any 12 Vdc battery using the blue cable supplied. This cable incorporates two crocodile clips with which to connect to the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals of the battery. -
Page 14: Boom Adaptor And Spigot
4.7 Boom adaptor and spigot A boom adaptor is supplied to allow the Void Scanner probe to be deployed on various platforms, e.g. a boom or standard survey tripod. The boom adaptor is in two parts: the main bracket and a separate cylindrical spigot. -
Page 15: Prisms
A surveyor can target the prism on the Void Scanner to establish the position of the unit. A second prism may be attached to the far end of the deployment boom. Shooting to both prisms will then give the azimuth of the deployment. -
Page 16: Void Scanner Wi-Fi Box
Void Scanner Wi-Fi box negates the need for a separate battery pack, power cable, data cable and interface box. The Void Scanner Wi-Fi box can be used to allow personnel to retreat further from the scanner. The unit may also be attached to the probe boom that is extended into the unsafe area, or placed on an unmanned vehicle that is remotely driven into the unsafe area. -
Page 17: Booms And Deployment Devices
4.11 Booms and deployment devices The Void Scanner is designed to be deployed on a boom for surveys of stopes and inaccessible areas. Carlson can offer a standard boom as an optional accessory with the unit. Alternatively, many users design their own boom or other deployment device to suit their specific operational and site requirements. - Page 18 Figure 19 Void Scanner probe and boom adaptor dimensions P a g e | 18...
