Safety and Health Hazard Notes
•Do not look directly into the laser light with optical instru-
ments.
The used laser meets laser class 1 M according to DIN EN
60 825-1.
•Do not use equipment connected to AC power during heavy
thunderstorms. Due to voltage variations and transient volt-
ages in the low-voltage network, malfunctions and danger-
ous voltages between housing and other components may
occur.
•In extreme positions, stands with horizontal extension arms
may fall over. Avoid such positions. Use the product only on
a safe and steady ground.
•When measuring large objects, make sure you comply with
the respective valid accident prevention regulations.
•Do not use the ATOS system in explosion-hazardous areas!
•Operate the equipment only with the operating voltages
printed on the housing. Using an incorrect operating voltage
may cause malfunctions or the risk of fire.
•
Artificial optical radiation (projector light). When operating,
do not look into the light source for a longer time. Directly
looking into the light source may be harmful for your eyes!
(See also 2 Technical Data).
•Check cables and, if damaged, replace them by all means.
Protect the cables from mechanical load (squeezing, ten-
sion, etc.). Damaged cables may cause short-circuits and
the risk of fire.
•AC power connection of the unit must comply with the valid
regulations of the respective countries.
•Replace fuses only with components having the same spec-
ifications.
•During scanning, stroboscopic light patterns are generated.
These light patterns might cause epileptic seizures for sen-
sitive persons.
•Never unplug or connect cables during operation!
•The devices must not come into contact with water. For
cleaning, use a moist cloth but first disconnect the power
plug.
•The ambient temperature must be between +5 and +40 °C.
Make sure no rapid temperature variations occur that might
cause condensation.
•The housing may only be opened when no voltage is ap-
plied.
•Do not stick any strange objects into the housing.
•Never cover the venting slots.
•Never operate the sensor without the corresponding air fil-
ter, see section 11.

4. Information About the Sensor
Each configured ATOS sensor, in scan direction, has defined 3D areas
within which a measuring object can be scanned. In the following,
such a 3D area is called "measuring volume" (MV).
The measuring volume determines the distance between sensor and
measuring object and the set of lenses to be used.
In practice, depending on the measuring task, different measuring
volumes might be required.
Ideally, you have camera and projector lenses that are preadjusted to
your measuring volume. In this case, you need to perform no or just
very few steps for adjusting the sensor.
A complete sensor setup is only required if the corresponding set of
lenses has never been adjusted before or is decalibrated (wrong ad-
justments).
For a complete sensor adjustment, you need to adjust the angle rela-
tions of the cameras and set the focus and aperture of the lenses.
Then, the complete system is calibrated by means of calibration
panels or calibration crosses. If the measuring volume is adjusted
successfully by calibration, you may start a measuring project.
The sensor adjustment is supported by the software. The software de-
termines all necessary parameter settings.
In order to achieve large, medium and small measuring volumes, the
sensors can be adapted to the camera positions SO (Small objects)
for small measuring volumes, 300 for medium measuring volumes and
500 for large measuring volumes, see table 4.1, with the help of ex-
changeable camera supports.

5. Lenses
The lenses shown in this example may, in some cases, differ from
those delivered in practice. Therefore, the statements made here have
to be used correspondingly.
All lenses are marked with L (left) or R (right) or P (projector). Left and
right are defined from the sensor view in normal operating position.
Never switch on the sensor if the projector lens still is equipped with
the lens cap! Due to the high light output, the lens cap and the pro-
jector lens may be damaged!
5.1 Lenses
For the projector lenses, the aperture value is fixed and cannot be
changed.
Select a set of lenses matching the required measuring volume and
camera positions (e.g. SO, 300, 500), and screw it into the cameras
and the projector.
To avoid getting dirt into the cameras and the projector, always equip
the devices with lenses or blind caps, even when they are switched
off. When changing the lenses, fix the new lenses in place immedi-
ately.
Screw in the lenses carefully by hand, lock the focus locking ring, if
necessary, to ensure screwing in without any problems.

8. Sensor Setup
8.1 General
In order to adjust the sensor, the complete system including the
ATOS software needs to be installed and the sensor must be
equipped with a set of lenses matching the measuring volume and
the camera position. For achieving all camera positions, three differ-
ent camera supports can be used.
Camera position 500 Camera position 300 Camera position SO
For each measuring volume (MV), the set of lenses are factory-
preadjusted.
If you have the respective set of lenses for each measuring volume,
setting up the sensor is easy as you do not need to carry out all the
steps referring to adjusting the focus and aperture!
You always need to perform a complete sensor setup if, for example,
the corresponding set of lenses has never been adjusted before or is
decalibrated.
8.2 Measuring Volume
Use the table in section 4.1 to determine a measuring volume.
You create larger measuring volumes with camera positions 500 and
300 and smaller measuring volumes with camera position SO (see ta-
ble 4.2).
Please check whether the cameras are in the correct position. How to
change the camera positions is described in section 0.
8.3 Changing the Camera Positions (Step by Step)
In the following, we describe how to change the camera distance from
300 to SO.
When you are changing the distance from SO to 300 or when you
are changing to camera position 500, please proceed corresponding-
ly. All camera supports have identical connecting elements.
The length of the camera connection cables are matched to the
camera support when the system is delivered.
If you received the support for camera position 500 or SO later, the
connection cables might not be long enough. In that case, contact
the GOM support or your local distributor.
