2. For your safety
2.1. Proper use
USE IN DENTAL TECHNOLOGY
The proper use of the ALS 2 is the optical three-dimensional measurement of human jaw models. The scanners can be
used in the field of orthodontics and prosthetics for all kinds of reconstructions, as well as for archiving purposes.
Jaw models in occlusal relationship can be scanned with reference to cephalic presentation, as well as dental
registrations (bite registrations) and dental casts (wax-up), and also reference bodies (scan bodies) screw-retained
in the model.
USE AS A UNIVERSAL SCANNER
The proper use of the ALS 2 scanner is the optical three-dimensional measurement of objects with a maximum size of
85,2 × 58,1 × 82 mm (XYZ). The maximum weight of the objects must not exceed 0.938 kg. The scanners can be used
for the production of, for example, tools, jewelry or toys as well as to test the accuracy of replicas.
MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS
The ALS 2 scan materials with a dry/ matted, opaque surface of white, saffron, gold, blue, beige, yellow and pink color.
Reflective or dark surfaces can be scanned if they are previously treated with 3D scan spray. Moveable parts of the
models must be able to be immobilized, so that they do not change their position during scanning.
IMPROPER USE
The ALS 2 is not designed to scan models made of transparent materials, models of non-dimensionally stable
or unstable materials or living organisms.
The ALS 2 is not suitable for use in an environment heavily burdened by emissions (e.g. dust or paint). Their use in
a private environment is also excluded.
GC strongly advises to avoid any other than the proper use. GC assumes no liability for damages due to an improper
use of the scanner and/or non-observance of the safety instructions indicated in these operating instructions.

corners, they can come off and the scanner will fall and get damaged. If you reach into the front upper corners,
you can damage sensitive components, especially the camera and the sensor.
• To transport the scanner, always grasp it by the bottom corners, never by the front upper corners.
Cleaning agents
NOTE
Damage to surfaces due to unsuitable cleaning agents
Paper towels, coarse cotton cloth, detergents, polishing paste, etc. leave scratches on the sensitive surfaces.
• Only use the recommended materials for cleaning.
Moisture
NOTE
Material damages due to moisture
Constant contact with moisture can damage sensitive materials.
• Only operate the scanner at a dry workplace.
• Avoid any contact with water/moisture. Should this however happen at some time, disconnect the power plug
immediately. Immediately wipe off any water/moisture using a soft microfiber cloth.
Climate
NOTE
Measuring errors due to unsuitable climatic conditions
The scanner is designed solely for use inside dry, closed rooms. Precise measurement results are only achieved
by the scanner under suitable climatic conditions. Too much heat causes measurement errors and overheating of
the scanner. Overheating can permanently damage the scanner.
• Only operate the scanner at temperatures of 18°C – 30°C.
• Only operate the scanner in low humidity conditions.
• Avoid direct sun exposure at the workplace.
• Reduce cold, heat and high humidity, e.g. through the use of air conditioners or sun protection.

10
Reflections
NOTE
Measuring errors due to reflections on the measured object
Strong extraneous light leads to unwanted reflections on the measured object.
This affects the accuracy of the measurements.
• Select a workplace away from a window or not affected by high levels of artificial lighting.
• Cover the opening during the scanning process, e.g. with light-tight foil/dust-cover.
Vibration
NOTE
Measuring errors due to vibrations
The surface on which the scanner is placed must not vibrate. Vibration will cause inaccurate measurement results.
• Place the scanner on a sturdy, stable base able to support at least twice the weight of the scanner, i.e. 2 x 23 kg.
• Stabilize the base by means of a strutted under frame or by attaching it to a stable wall.
Calibration
NOTE
Inaccurate measurements due to failure to calibrate or use of a damaged calibration model
The measuring accuracy of the scanner is only guaranteed if the scanner is calibrated. This operation requires the use
of a calibration model and the associated default values.
The calibration model can be mechanically damaged. This can only be tolerated in the border area.
• Perform the calibration of the scanner after commissioning, after transporting it and whenever the software asks
you to do so during operation.
• Only start the procedure when the values registered in the software match the values of the calibration model.
• Check whether the calibration model is damaged at a central location.
• Only use the calibration model if it is in perfect condition.
Model fastening
NOTE
Damage to the scanner and the models due to missing or incorrect fastening
Due to the motion of the axes inside the scanner, unsecured or incorrectly secured models will fall down during the
scanning process.
• Do not place any objects on top of or inside the scanner.
• Never place unfastened models inside the scanner.
• Only use the included object holder or approved accessories to fasten models.
• When fastening occlusal models with rubber bands, only use stable, unused rubber bands.
Thin or porous rubber bands can tear.
• Always fasten models on the flexible object holder and the Multi die adapter using adhesive pads made of modeling
clay.
• Only place stump models prepared with metal pins inside the Multi die adapter.
• However, should a model still fall down, turn off the scanner immediately.
Then remove the model or all broken pieces from the interior of the scanner.
Adhesive materials
NOTE
Damages to models due to unsuitable adhesive materials
Models, object holders and the scanner get soiled or are even damaged through the use of adhesive tape, instant
glue or similar products.
• Only fasten models using adhesive pads made of modeling clay.

11
Aadva Lab Scanner 2
Manual
Articulators
NOTE
Damages to the scanner and models due to incorrectly positioned articulators
Articulators are not to be fastened inside the scanner. This is possible because articulators can be scanned with
reduced axis motion.
