- No user serviceable parts – opening the sensor or feature pack invalidates warranty Other care NOTICE Sensor dismounting Before removing the sensor from the arm, ALWAYS ensure the it is no more powered (Both LEDs off on the sensor). HP-L-20.8 Scanner Manual V1.0.3 (27/11/2014)
An independent optical circuit monitors the reflected signal and - in real time – adjusts the laser power accordingly. By use of a motorised scanning axis the beam measures a surface profile. HP-L-20.8 Scanner Manual V1.0.3 (27/11/2014)
Features The HP-L-20.8 Laser Scanner has the following key features: Simple to use No complicated settings or parameters to worry about High accuracy 3D feature positional accuracy of ±36 µm User selectable line length with up to 5001 points per Zoom function line.
2. Bring the arm male TKJ and sensor female TKJ together 3. Rotate the TKJ lever counter clockwise NOTICE The lever should be rotated only 180 degrees to close. Rotation past 180 degrees will not further secure the joint and could damage the mechanism. HP-L-20.8 Scanner Manual V1.0.3 (27/11/2014)
4. Setup on-board Ethernet port as 192.168.150.1 (controller @ = 192.168.150.100) 5. Move the probe switch to the left position (center contact probe location) 6. Using the power button at the front of the arm, power up the system. HP-L-20.8 Scanner Manual V1.0.3 (27/11/2014)

8. The sensor power indicator should start to flash, showing the sensor is warming up. Once the power indicator remains solid – approximately 5 minutes at normal temperatures - the system is ready to measure. HP-L-20.8 Scanner Manual V1.0.3 (27/11/2014)
Warm-up time Before using the HP-L-20.8 Scanner, a warm –up time is necessary. The lights on the Feature Pack and on the sensor show whether the system is ready or not. Warm up time under normal circumstances is approximately 5 minutes. The warm-up time varies from 0 to 20 minutes, depending on the starting sensor temperature and the ambient temperature.
This is perfectly normal and is not a malfunction of the system. Looking at the figure below, Φ is a fixed angle, therefore h1/a = h2/b. Since b > a then h2 > h1. Main Laser ϕ Indicator Laser Fig. 3: Curved indicator laser HP-L-20.8 Scanner Manual V1.0.3 (27/11/2014)
For more information about RDS Control Panel, please refer to RDS user manual Scanning mode The HP-L-20.8 Laser Scanner can digitize using different widths and resolutions. Line length: defines the width of the laser (width in mm). Point Spacing: defines the resolution distance between digitized points (points spacing in mm)
