Delcam iQube 2010 Reference Manual Introduction • 1
The Delcam iQube is a simple but powerful 3D scanner specifically
created for use in designing custom orthotic insoles. It is a versatile tool
that produces high quality orthotics and insoles.
The iQube gives complete flexibility with respect to the scan model.
Scanning a foot, a cast or a foam box impression, produces a high quality
3D image in approximately 3 seconds, saving time and improving the
quality of the output.
Using technology developed for the Aerospace industry, the iQube
scanner obtains a high level of detail using laser and multi-camera
configuration to produce a highly accurate full colour 3D image. The high
level of accuracy means that the custom orthotic is created correctly every
time, minimising the inconvenience to clients.
The Delcam iQube allows the foot to be scanned in several positions,
according to the needs of the patient.The scanner can be set up for use in
full weight bearing (Weight On), semi-weight bearing and non-weight
bearing (Weight Off) positions,
The scanner is lightweight and compact, making it fully portable; the
optional carrying case allows you to transport it for use it at different
locations. Once you have scanned the item, Delcam OrthoModel software
lets you design and manufacture the custom insole. Alternatively, use the
scan data with your existing orthotic CADCAM software.

FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Also please note the following statement that is on a sticker adhered to
the base of the scanner body:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
WEEE
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and
refers to a European Union (EU) directive regulating the disposal of
electrical or electronic equipment, including all components, sub-
assemblies and consumables, which are part of the products at the time of
discarding.
European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (the WEEE Directive) stipulates that WEEE is now subject
to regulations designed to prevent the disposal of such waste and to
encourage design and treatment measures to minimize the amount of
waste that is placed into the waste system.
The purpose of this legislation is to preserve, protect and improve the
quality of the environment, protect human health, and stimulate the
practical use of natural resources. Specifically, the WEEE Directive
requires that producers of electrical and electronic equipment be
responsible for the collection, reuse, recycling and treatment of WEEE
which the producer places on the EU market after August 13, 2005.
As an importer of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), we have
endeavoured to meet these environmental responsibilities for managing
WEEE. The following information is to educate our customers about the
WEEE collection process.
In order to avoid any potential dissemination of hazardous substances into
the environment, the product has been labelled with the WEEE symbol
(see below) in order to alert the end-user that it should be disposed of
within the proper waste management system. That system will recycle,
reuse, and dispose of materials from this product in an environmentally
sound way.

4 • Compliance and Safety Delcam iQube 2010 Reference Manual
The symbol found on the Delcam product label, indicates that the product
meets the European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste and Electronic
Equipment. This symbol, only applicable in European Union countries,
indicates that when this product reaches the end of its life it should not be
disposed of with normal household or municipal waste, but in an
established waste stream for WEEE.
Each EU Member State country has established a system for the
collection, disposal, and recycling of WEEE. End-users in the EU should
contact their local waste administration system for collection instructions
concerning this product.

bind the power cable and power plug.
Do not put heat source close to the power cable or plug.

Do not place a heavy object on the power cable or plug.
Clean dust off the power plug periodically. Any dust on
the plug may cause insulation failure as the result of absorbed
moisture. It may also result in smoke or a fire.
Disconnect the power plug and wipe it with a dry cloth.
Operate the unit at the specified voltage.
This equipment must be operated within the AC supply voltage
range marked on the rear panel of the equipment and / or a tag
attached to the power cable. The frequency of the power supply
must be 50 or 60 Hz.
Operating at a voltage or frequency, other than the one specified
may result in smoke or a fire.
Nominal
Range
AC 100 V – 240 V
90 V – 260 V
Do not insert or pull out the power cable with a wet
hand
. Attempting this may cause an electric shock.
Do not use the instrument in an explosive
environment. Never use the equipment in rooms containing
flammable or volatile gas or vapour. Failure to observe this
warning may cause an explosion or a fire.
Do not disassemble the equipment. Attempting this may
cause an electric shock or malfunction of the equipment.
Removal of panels will expose live parts. If any adjustment,
maintenance or repair is required, it must be carried out by
qualified service personnel who are aware of the hazard involved.

Laser light can damage your eyes. Do not stare directly
into the beam or look at it with optical instruments.
Maximum weight limit is 200kg. Do not exceed maximum
weight limit on the glass.
Do not jump on the glass.
Cautions
The following cautions highlight the potentially hazardous situations,
which could result in minor or moderate injury or damage to the
equipment.
Use the specified fuse. Verify that the correct
fuse is installed before connecting the power. Failure
to do so could result in smoke or a fire.
Do not use unauthorised fuses.
Nominal
Fuse rating
AC 100 V – 240 V

Do not use the equipment if it appears to be
broken. Using potentially faulty equipment could
result in an electric shock, smoke or a fire.
Immediately turn off the equipment and disconnect
the power cable. Then contact the dealer or
representative from whom you purchased the
equipment..
This equipment uses a Class II laser.
Class II laser products do not normally cause eye
injuries, but care must be taken as it can still be quite
hazardous due to glare and temporary flash blindness.
The human blink reflex occurs within 0.25 seconds of
exposure to the Class II laser beam, providing
adequate protection. You should not try to resist
the natural blink response by staring into the
Class II laser. This could result in damage to the
eye.

Electrical Connection
CAUTION
Always use the AC power cable (hereafter referred to as "the power
cable") that is supplied with the scanner, and connect it to an AC outlet
(100-240 V, 50/60 Hz). Failure to do so may damage the scanner,
generating an electric shock or causing a fire.
1. Set the power switch (6) on the end panel to OFF (“0”)
CAUTION
If the power cable is connected to an AC outlet when the power
switch is set to ON (“1”), damage may be caused to the scanner or
computer. Before connecting the power cable, always make sure
that the power switch is set to OFF.
2. Connect the power cable (17) to the power connector (5) located on
the electrical panel (4).
3. Plug the other end of the power cable into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
Be sure to connect the the power cable to an AC outlet that has a
earthed terminal.
Make sure that the AC outlet is located near the scanner and that
plug can be easily connected and disconnected.
