I. INTRODUCTION IN GENERAL
FLATSCAN VS305 is a detective laser scanner with single curtain.
Thanks to the compact and slim design it can be installed in the narrow gap easily and effectively seperate vechicle, and then
the output data can be used for vehicle anti-trailing, vehicle counting and other related applications.
The laser scanner is CLASS 1 certified device according to IEC 60825-1, which has no damage or impact on human eyes &
bodies. The visible laser spots are CLASS 2, which can be shut down during normal work.
With 400 spots scanning within the curtain, the scanner covers the detection area with high resolution, provides more accu-
rate application results . It could be used for a variety of applications with laser scanner technology. Convenient to install on
site with the transceiver design.
- Please read through the user‘s guide carefully.
- Please install, configure and use the devices in the given conditions illustrated in the user's guide.
- Please do not disassemble the device without authority of the manufacturer, otherwise the
manufacturer will not take any responsibility for the defect of devices.
- Please conduct self-evaluate for the functional feasibility when you intend to use outside of vehicle
seperation.

0°C
°C
°C
-10°C
Avoid the prensence of
smoke and fog in the
detection field.
Avoid condensation.
Avoid exposure to
sudden and extreme
temperature changes.
Avoid direct exposure
to high pressure
cleaning.
Do not use dry or dirty
towels or aggressive
products to clean
the laser window.
Clean the laser window
with compressed air.
When needed, wipe the
laser window only with
a soft, clean and damp
microfibre cloth.
Keep the scanner
permanently powered
in environments where
the temperature can
descend below -10oC.
Avoid extreme
vibrations.
Do not cover the laser
window.
Avoid moving objects
and light sources in
the detection field.
VII. INSTALLATIONS
1MOUNTING
Please do a thorough inspection and evaluation to the installation field to make sure the
way of installing the scanner is suitable to the application.
- Please strip away the front cover and make sure the laser window is not covered by
anything before power on and configuration.
- Always take appropriate action to secure the safety of installer.
- Grounding: Connect to the earth.
Bracket installation
- Choose appropriate or universal bracket according to the filed condition.
- Fix the scanner on the bracket in a proper position, where can make sure the laser window at its right angle.
- Fix the bracket with the scanner on a firm wall or pole where the laser curtain could shoot on the right place.
- Avoid moving objects in or near the detection field, or that may activate the scanner.
* The bracket is an optional accessary.

2 WIRING
- Only the authorized installer could implement the installation and configuration.
- If the environment temperature is lower than -10°C, please make sure the scanner keep power on.
- Avoid to use the scanner in environment with heavy rain/fog/vibration.
- Please install the sensor vertically for vehicle separation.
If the monitor is not connected, the cable must be wired to the power cable.

VIII. HOW TO USE THE REMOTE CONTROL
30 minutes after last use, the scanner locks the access to the remote control session.
Cut and restore power supply. The remote control session is accessible again during 30 minutes.
Before use the remote control, please check the following points:
1. The effective control distance is 4 meters, please always use remote control within 4 meters of the scanner.
2. The scanner curtain should not be perpendicular to the high reflective surface, a 3-degree angle in between is
necessary to guarantee communication between the scanner and the remote control.
3. To avoid unexpected operation, the authorized operator or installer could set a password to get into the parameter setting
process.
After unlocking, the red
LED flashes and the scanner
can be adjusted by remote
control.
If the red LED flashes quickly after unlocking, you
need to enter an access code from 1 to 4 digits. To end an adjustment session,
always lock the scanner.

SPOTS turn on /off the visble spots
- Confirm the wiring of the scanner.
- Power on.
- Switch on the visible spots, then align the curtain position precisely (refer to remote control instruction).
- Adjust the tilt angle to make sure the curtain covers the detection area approximately if necessary.
- The shape of laser spot is oval, the further the laser spot shoots, the bigger the spot diffuses, refer to
below diagram to calculate the size, avoid unwanted detections.

The scanner can be configured at left side and right side.
Please note that the sensor will automatically find the mounting side during the teach-in process*.
After finishing teach-in process, use remote control to change the parameter if needed. This
parameter must be defined before setting the configuraiton, as the detection area will link to this
parameter.

Detection area: detection will only happen when objects locate in the detection area. The
dimension of detection area could be adjusted by adjusting the parameter.
Please note that the detection range can be guaranteed with 5% reflectivity @4m diagonal
when fog filter value is set to 0, if the fog filter value is not 0, then the guaranteed detection
distance will be shortened with 5% reflectivity.
