CubiScan 125 1
Chapter 1
Product Description
The CubiScan 125 is a static cubing system that uses a combination of
sensing technologies to measure and weigh irregularly-shaped parts and
components as well as boxed items. Small parts and items are measured
with great precision using infrared sensing technology, while larger boxed
items are measured with ultrasonic sensors.
The CubiScan 125 is commonly used to improve storage-space planning, for
carton size selection, repacking, check-weighing, and shipment manifesting
in medical, pharmaceutical, apparel, hardware, and consumer goods
distribution. It has an integrated touchscreen display and outputs to a
user-supplied PC. Capacity for the ultrasound sensors is 24 x 30 x 36 inches
with a resolution of 0.1 inches; gate sensors can measure up to 18 x 18 x 12
inches with a resolution of 0.05 inches. The CubiScan 125 also includes an
integrated, high-accuracy 50 x 0.005 lbs. scale.
Each unit has one active serial communication port, one Ethernet port, and
one USB port. Proprietary interface software, called Qbit™, is available and
allows for menu-driven operator control, data storage/transfer, and
diagnostics. A mobile cart and useful accessories such as a portable power
supply are available to create a completely mobile cubing, weighing, and
identification workstation.
The CubiScan 125 combines powerful sensing technologies to create a
flexible and economical solution for today’s most demanding cubing and
weighing applications.

Setup
This chapter provides instructions for assembling and setting up the
CubiScan 125. Perform the steps to set up the CubiScan 125 in the following
order:
•Unpacking (page 5)
•Placement (page 6)
•Assembly (page 7)
•Attaching top sensor support (page 8)
•Routing height sensor cable (page 9)
•Removing the shipping material (page 12)
•Placing the glass platform (page 13)
•Connecting power (page 14)
•Turning the CubiScan 125 on (page 14)
•Connecting to a computer or network (optional) (page 15)
•Installing the Qbit software (optional) (page 21)
Unpacking
The CubiScan 125 is shipped in a single container with all components. The
glass platform is packed in a separate cardboard box inside the crate.
Remove the wood slats and the packing material, and lift the CubiScan 125
components carefully from the crate. Do not remove the green foam
shipping supports between the scale base and platform or the wire tie that
holds the measuring gate in place; they will help prevent damage to the
load cells and gate while you are assembling the CubiScan 125.

Setup Placement
CubiScan 125 6
Examine the container and the CubiScan 125 carefully for any damage. If,
after unpacking, you discover any damage to the CubiScan 125, contact the
carrier immediately.
Carefully remove the CubiScan 125 and its components from the crate, and
place the CubiScan 125 on a solid, stable surface for assembly (see
“Assembling the CubiScan 125” on page 7.
If any of the components or accessories are missing or defective, contact
Quantronix.
Placement
The CubiScan 125 is designed to be operated in a warehouse environment;
however, for proper operation the following conditions should be met if
possible.
•Do not subject the CubiScan 125 to extremes in temperature or
humidity. Locate the CubiScan 125 as far from open freight doors as
Figure 2
CubiScan 125 in Crate

Setup Assembling the CubiScan 125
CubiScan 125 7
possible. Heaters or air conditioners should not blow directly on the
CubiScan 125.
•Avoid placing the CubiScan 125 in direct sunlight, as it may affect
measurement readings.
•Protect the CubiScan 125 from static electricity, especially the
touchscreen.
•Place the CubiScan 125 on a flat, sturdy surface as free from vibration as
possible. Excess vibration can reduce the accuracy of the CubiScan 125
scale.
•The CubiScan 125's platform is free-floating—it is resting on four springs
(load cells). Maintain a minimum of one-inch clearance at the back and
sides of the CubiScan 125. Do not rest objects against or set objects on
the CubiScan 125 when not in use.
•If a computer is used, place it as close to the CubiScan 125 as possible.
The operator needs to use the keyboard or mouse on the computer while
cubing and weighing packages using the CubiScan 125.
•Orient the CubiScan 125 so the touchscreen faces the operator.
Assembling the CubiScan 125
The CubiScan 125 is almost completely assembled when shipped. You only
need to attach the top sensor support, route the height sensor cable,
remove the shipping material, and place the glass platform.
•Place the base assembly of the CubiScan 125 on a stable surface. Make
sure that the CubiScan 125 is level. Adjust the leveling feet located in
each corner if necessary. (An optional cart, custom-designed for the
CubiScan 125, is available from Quantronix.)
•Do not remove the foam shipping supports between the scale base and
platform or the wire tie that hold the measuring gate in place; they will
help prevent damage to the load cells and gate while you are assembling
the CubiScan 125.

Attaching the Top Sensor Support
1. Remove the four raised screws from the top of the CubiScan 125 base
assembly, and retain them to attach the top sensor support.
2. Set the top sensor support in position on top of the CubiScan 125 gate
support, and line up the screw holes.

3. Insert the screws you removed in step 1 through the holes and tighten
them.
Attaching the Height Sensor Cable
The height sensor cable (gray cable with an RJ-12 connector) is connected
to the controller on the front of the base assembly and is routed and tied
through the base and gate support. It is coiled at the top of the gate support
for routing up the top sensor support.

1. Route the height sensor cable from the top of the gate support up the
side of the top sensor support as shown below.
2. Place the supplied cable ties over the sensor cable and through the holes
on either side and secure them to hold the sensor cable in place.
