    Operation LS-R-4.8 Commissioning and Setup of the Scanner 2.3.1 Mounting/dismounting the shank Dismounting the shank: Remove clamping screws from the shank. Remove shank. Mounting the shank: Slide the shank onto the laser scanner. Insert the clamping screws and tighten to the torque specified in Fig. 7.
  • Page 21: Inserting/Replacing The Battery

    Risk of damage to the equipment! The laser scanner LS-R-4.8 is protected against wrong polarity (short circuit protection). It is nevertheless necessary to pay attention to the polarity when inserting a new battery, because the device will not work with wrong polarity! The correct polarity is shown on the battery compartment by the corresponding symbols (+/-).
  • Page 22: Pairing The Scanner With A Receiver

    In order to pair the laser scanner with a radio-wave receiver type RC-R-100, the radio-wave receiver must be in pairing mode (see operating instructions RC-R-100). The required pairing information is entered in the associated PC software and then transmitted with the programming clip to the infrared interface of the LS-R-4.8 laser scanner. Afterwards, the pairing process is started.
  • Page 23 Mount the programming clip on the laser scanner so that the infrared interface on the programming clip is aligned with the infrared interface inside the battery compartment of the LS-R-4.8 laser scanner. Push the battery compartment sleeve up until it closes on the programming clip.
  • Page 24: Warming Up The Laser Scanner

    Operation LS-R-4.8 2.3.4 Warming up the laser scanner INFORMATION The system accuracy is considered stable after 60 minutes of use (“warm-up” time). The scanner maximum location error is 30 µm after stabilization. The scanner actual location error is written in the "Inspection Report" delivered with the Scanner.
  • Page 25: Aligning The Scanner For Measuring

    LS-R-4.8 Operation Aligning the scanner for measuring NOTICE Risk of incorrect measuring data! The sensor’s insensitivity to extraneous light is 5000 lx. This permits measuring under diffused, artificial light. If the sensor is pointed directly at an artificial light source during operation or exposed to direct sunlight, the direct incidence of light can lead to the recording of incorrect measuring data.
  • Page 26: Measuring Edges And Special Characteristics

    Operation LS-R-4.8 2.4.2 Measuring edges and special characteristics INFORMATION For the exact measuring of edges and special characteristics, the sensor must be aligned across the areas to be measured. If the sensor is aligned parallel to such workpiece geometries, there is a risk of inaccurate measurements.
  • Page 27: Interrupting The Beam Path
