1.1.5. Reading Head
Each track consists of a photosensitive element framed by two LED's (light-emitting diode) illuminating the reading zone.
•Head with red light : For fibre pen, pencil or ballpoint pen marks.
Printout of the polychrome document with clock marks (marks for line synchronisation) in black;
marking fields in red, orange or yellow.
•Head with infrared light : For pencil marks only.
Printout of the polychrome document with clock marks (marks for line synchronisation) in black;
marking fields in different colours (colour references in the Axiome Technical Application Note)
•Reading adaptation : Automatic adaptation to the background colour of the document.
•Paper dust : Dust dense and auto-cleansing.
•Mark density : Output on 15 independent density levels for each channel. Less insensitive to mirror and fold marks.
•Number of tracks: 48 at a spacing of 1/6" or
40 at a spacing of 1/5"
•Number of clock tracks : 1 for 48 track head

2. Generality and Security
The axm 960 has been designed in compliance with safety regulations applicable to terminals in an office environment. This machine can be used in
permanent operation at office temperatures.
The following guidelines must be applied when installing and manipulating the reader.
• The reader is equipped with a power cable, which must be connected to an earthen wall socket.
• When installing the machine make sure the wall socket for the power supply is always within the user's reach.
• Do not connect or disconnect the cables during a thunderstorm.
! ! ! WARNING ! ! !
The covers of the axm 960 must only be removed by first-level maintenance staff and only after the power cable has been disconnected.
•AXIOME Alpha SA refuses to implement warranty or apply maintenance clauses, if it is established that the axm 960 was damaged by
manipulation by an unauthorised person.
•For transportation, the machine must be packed in its original packaging to avoid any shock to the mechanical parts.
•This machine weighs 12.6 kg. If it falls, it could cause injury or damage to the reader.

3. Transport and installation
3.1. Operating environment
The suitability of the operating environment for the axm 960 is an essential factor for its proper functioning. Issues that must be taken into account
are as follows:
• The reader must be placed on a stable, flat and horizontal support.
• The reader must be shielded from all heat sources, such as:
- direct sunlight;
- heaters;
- spot lights and other high heat lights.
• The axm 960 must also be protected from vibrations and humidity (40 to 80% relative humidity, with no condensation).
• Operating temperature range: +10 to +40 °C (50 to 104 °F).
• Storage temperature range: 0 to +40 °C (32 to 104 °F).
• Never operate the axm 960 in atmospheric conditions contaminated by dust or oil products in gaseous state.
When connecting the axm 960 to a power outlet, ensure that it never shares the same outlet as:
- large electric motors;
- refrigerators;
- generally speaking, any equipment generating substantial inductive loads.
