Shock indicators

Shock indicators detect possible rough handling by reacting to a predetermined amount of shock. They do not necessarily indicate damage. If damage is noted upon delivery, immediately contact the shipping company and Maptek for advice. There is an external and an internal shock indicator. Refer to Figure 2-6 for their locations. Figure 2-7 illustrates the contrast between undisturbed and triggered indicators.

System components

The features and controls available on your scanner depend on the model. Figure 2-8 illustrates the models available in the R3 MkII range of scanners.

Scanner components

Figure 2-9 identifies the components of a scanner. Some components are model dependent.

	Scanner head The scanner head turns around its vertical axis (up to 360°) to allow data acquisition.
	Scanner body The scanner body is the fixed part of the scanner.
	Telescope focus knob (XR3-CT only) Adjusts the focus of the objective lens when backsighting with the telescope.
	Elevation control knob (XR3-CT and SR3-CL only) XR3-CT: Adjusts the elevation of the telescope viewing field. SR3-CL: Adjusts the elevation angle of the laser aimer.
	Azimuth control knob Adjusts the azimuth position of the scanner head.
	Telescope eyepiece (XR3-CT only) Used to locate backsight targets.
	Telescope eyepiece dioptre focus bezel (XR3-CT only) Adjusts the eyepiece focus to your eye by focussing to the reticule inside the eyepiece.
	Scanner rest Allows the scanner to be placed horizontally on a flat surface.
	Scanner power button and status indicator For details, see Power button functions.
	USB port Insert a USB key into this port to receive pushbutton and mobile device scans.
	LAN port Connect the FieldHHC tablet to this port using the supplied Ethernet cable when not using Wi-Fi, or when using the scanner with Sentry DMS or a mobile scanning platform such as Maptek Drive.
	24 V DC power input Supplies power to the scanner (instead of using a battery) via the scanner power cable (part # 0102062) when used with Sentry DMS, Sentry FMS, and Maptek Drive.
	Right side handle Use this handle when carrying the scanner in its upright position or when placing the scanner into its transit case, with the other hand holding the left side handle (). This handle also acts as a resting pad when placing the scanner horizontally.
	Scanning window All optical data including lidar, camera, telescope image, and laser aimer beam, passes via this aperture. Scanning window configurations vary. To learn more, see Scanning window variants.
	Scanning mirror The scanning mirror directs and receives laser pulses as it rotates, resulting in the collection of scan data as a series of vertically arranged points.
	Camera aperture (not applicable to XR3-D) The camera sensor allows photographic data to be associated with scan points.
	GPS threaded adapter This mounting point allows you to fit GPS and radio devices to the scanner.
	Carry handle Use this handle to carry the scanner with a single hand.
	Battery bay cover The scanner battery bay is accessed via this cover.
	Battery bay cover latch The latch secures and opens the battery bay cover.
	Left-hand side handle Use this handle when carrying the scanner in its upright position or when placing the scanner into its transit case, with the other hand holding the right side handle ().

Scanner base

The scanner base includes mounting points for the tribrach adapter, stairwell adapter bracket, or vehicle mount (where supplied).

	Front of scanner
	Laser class and warning label
	Compliance label
	Tribrach adapter alignment sockets The sockets align with matching pins on the tribrach adapter to ensure correct orientation during installation.
	Double-ended key T-bolt key hole slots The slots fit a T-bolt at each end which secure the vehicle mount frame or stairwell bracket to the scanner base.
	Lower scanner handles These handles allow you to carry the scanner upright, or when packing or placing the scanner on a mount.
	Capture bolt hole The capture bolt on the tribrach adapter screws into this hole.
	FDA compliance label This label displays laser performance compliance information.
	Manufacturer details
	Serial number label The serial number label is displayed inside the battery bay door. It also displays the scanner model, part number, and build date.
	Battery bay cover The battery bay cover is shown in the open position.

Onboard scanner controls

Table 2-3 lists the controls that apply to specific scanner models.

Power button functions

The power button performs several different functions, as follows:

Power the scanner on or off	Press the power button to turn the scanner on or off.
Start a pushbutton scan	A pushbutton scan only requires a scanner with no external controller. To learn more, see Scanning to USB.
Enable and disable Wi-Fi	Wi-Fi is enabled by default. In cases where Wi-Fi is not a practicable option, it can be disabled. To learn more, see Enabling or disabling Wi-Fi on the scanner.

Status indicator light

The power button displays sequences of green and red lights to indicate various states and operations. The meaning of each light sequence is explained in Table 2-4.

Table 2-4 Status indicator light sequences

When	Light sequence	Meaning
Inserting a battery		Battery has a good charge.
		Battery is spent.
Starting the scanner		Scanner starting with Wi-Fi enabled.
		Scanner starting with Wi-Fi disabled.
Scanner is powered		Scanner is idle.
Taking a preview		The scanner is acquiring a preview.
Taking a scan		The scanner head is moving to the start of scan position.
		Scanning is in progress.

Control knob functions

The control knobs have variable sensitivity based on how quickly you turn them. To reach your target location faster, turn the knob quickly. For precise adjustments, turn the knob slowly.

Table 2-5 Control knob actions

Action	Effect
	Focus knob	Elevation knob	Azimuth knob
Slow turn	Precisely adjust the telescope focus.	Precisely adjust elevation.	Precisely adjust azimuth.
Fast turn	Roughly adjust telescope focus.	Roughly adjust elevation.	Traverse scanner head in larger increments.
Fast flicking motion			Rotate scanner head continuously.

Tip:  Spin the azimuth knob with a fast flicking motion in the intended direction of rotation to traverse the head continuously. To cancel its rotation, turn the azimuth knob in the opposite direction.

Note:  The scanner head automatically stops traversing when it reaches either end of its rotation extent.

Note:  The scanner head automatically returns to its home (forward-facing) position when turning off the scanner.

Scanning window variants

Table 2-6 explains the scanning window configuration used by each scanner model.

Table 2-6 Scanner window configurations by model

Scanner model	Window configuration	Description
UR3 XR3-CT XR3-C	Single	Standard window with model-specific scanning elevation extents.
XR3-CD XR3-D	Dual	Dual front- and rear-facing scanning windows. The maximum elevation extent is model-specific.
SR3	Zenith scanning	Single window permits scanning up to +90° from the scanner’s level plane.

Consult Specifications > Table B-2 for the scanning elevation extents of your scanner model.

FieldHHC tablet

The FieldHHC tablet uses a touchscreen interface for performing all scanning tasks, including the following:

• Taking scans

• Configuring the tablet and the scanner

• Importing, exporting, viewing, and managing data

• Performing various scan post-processing tasks

Figure 2-11 illustrates the main components used on the FieldHHC tablet.

Note:  The tablet is supplied with the manufacturer’s user manual.

Cold climate option (XR3 M20 and UR3 M20)

XR3 and UR3 scanners fitted with the cold climate option allow continuous operation in cold climate conditions. Cold climate scanners use an integrated active heating system and a removable neoprene jacket to maintain the system operating temperature.

To learn more, see Scanning in cold conditions.
