General safety instructions
Do not use in rooms with highly flammable materials or rooms with a risk of explosion
If the scanner falls over, tips over or is thrown, people may be injured or objects may be damaged
The scanner should not be operated in the presence of children aged 0 to 14 years
Laser warning
The laser class 2 laser used in the HottScan HS-1 has a red laser beam in the visible range. This laser only causes damage to the eye after an exposure time of 1000 seconds. A short exposure time is not dangerous for the human eye. Under normal circumstances, the eyelid closure reflex protects the eye during radiation. Since the eyelid closure reflex is not guaranteed under all circumstances and for all people, we recommend that you never look into the laser. The laser beam emerges from the upper opening of the pan and tilt head and points in the direction of the vertical of the front panel. The laser is only switched on briefly, during the standstill phase. Always look in a different direction to that of the laser beam. Also watch out for mirrors or other highly reflective surfaces. You are optimally safe if you leave the room during the scan.
The HottScan HS-1 scanner is a measuring device that, despite its robust construction, must be treated like a measuring device. Every measuring device is sensitive to a variety of environmental influences, which are listed below. Depending on the strength of the impact, the scanner can be completely destroyed or lose basic functions. In other cases, the measuring device can perform the basic function but, for example, lose measurement accuracy. Improper use occurs at least in the following cases:
Impacts
The scanner falls off the tripod during assembly/disassembly
The tripod with the scanner mounted is knocked over
The transport case is tipped over, dropped or thrown
Hitting parts of a building when moving the scanning positions
Earthquakes
