Exchanging the Batteries3.2.2
For details regarding the charging station refer to Artec Ray II Multicharger User
Manual.
The batteries must be charged before using them for the first time because they are
delivered with an energy content as low as possible
The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +40 °C/ +32 °F to
+104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low
ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F if possible
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers
recommended by Artec 3D, it is not possible to charge the battery once the
temperature is too high
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make a discharge/charge cycl
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharge/charge cycle is sufficient. We recommend
carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on
an Artec 3D product deviates significantly from the actual battery capacity
available.

The batteries are hot-swappable. Data acquisition requires two batteries inserted
into the battery compartment. The scanner does not shut down when only one
battery is inserted.
NOTICE
The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +55 °C/−4 °F to +131 °F. • Low
operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; hig
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

Colour, powder or tape these surfaces before scanning if necessary.
Imaging
The scanner has two different types of image sensors
Three calibrated cameras for HDR, 360° spherical image acquisition
Five calibrated cameras for the visual inertial system VIS.
Highly reflective (polished metal, gloss paint
Highly absorbent (black
Translucent (clear glass)
Rain, snow or fog may adversely affect measurement quality. Always use care when
scanning in these conditions
Surfaces that are directly illuminated by the sun cause an increased range noise and
therefore a larger measurement uncertainty
If some objects are scanned against the sunlight or a bright spotlight, the optical
receiver of the scanner can be dazzled so heavily that in this area no measured data
is recorded.
If the scanner is brought from a cold environment, for e
x
ample from storage, into a
warm and humid environment, the mirror or in e
x
treme cases even the interior
optics can condense. This may cause measurement errors.
Due to the encapsulated mirror design, the mirror is protected against direct
contact. However, dirt on the rotating mirror protection glass such as a layer of dust,
condensation or fingerprints may cause considerable measuring errors.
P
recaution
:
Avoid rapid temperature changes and give the scanner time to
acclimatize.
