Safety and Health Hazard Notes
•
The used laser meets laser class 1 according to DIN EN 60
825-1 (optical output power < 0.39 mW, wavelength 650
nm).
•Do not use equipment connected to AC power during heavy
thunderstorms. Due to voltage variations and transient vol-
tages 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.
•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 2.1.1 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 spe-
cifications.
•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 10.

This user information is intended for qualified personnel who is not or
just a little familiar with the coordinate measurement technique but
who has basic PC knowledge (windows-based programs and operat-
ing systems).
This user information is configured to the transfer of knowledge of sys-
tem installation, sensor settings, changing the camera support and
other hardware relevant information.
For being able to make optimum use of the system, we assume the
ability to visualize in 3D and a color vision ability.
This user information is divided into the following sections:
•The first page informs about important safety aspects.
•Section 1 - Introduction
•Section 2 describes the system variants.
•Section 3 contains general information about the sensor.
•Section 4 informs about how to handle the lenses.
•Section 5 describes the control elements and LED indicators of the
sensor.
•Section 6 describes the control elements of the optional 3D pan and
tilt head.
•Section 7 describes the setup of the sensor.
•Section 8 explains the wireless remote control.
•Section 9 describes the calibration of the sensor.
•Section 10 informs about cleaning the air filter.
•Section 11 contains the cabling of the system as laptop and 19" PC
variants.

2.2 Hardware and Software Components of Measuring System
•ATOS sensor with stereo cameras, fringe projector, controller and
power supply.
•Stand for secure and steady hold of the ATOS sensor.
•Please only use stands which are released by GOM
for this sensor type. Otherwise the stand with the sensor may fall
over!
•High-performance PC system with Microsoft Windows operating
system and separate network interface card for the Gigabit data
link.
•The factory settings of the separate network inter-
face card (interfaces Cam L, Cam R) are optimized for the Gigabit
data link and must not be changed! Never enable the firewall for
this network interface card.
•ATOS application software (Windows) as of version V7 see 2.1
Overview of the ATOS Triple Scan System Types.

3. 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 pa-
nels or calibration crosses. If the measuring volume is adjusted suc-
cessfully 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 support two or three different camera positions (Small Objects
SO for small measuring volumes, 400 for medium measuring vo-
lumes, and 800 for large measuring volumes), see system types 2 and
table 3.1.
For camera position 400 or 800, you may install measuring volumes
with two different camera angles. For example ATOS II/400/MV560
with 27° and ATOS II/400/MV 1000 with 15°.
The eccentric stops ( , , , , ) are factory-preadjusted.
Never loosen these stops , , , or , as only an authorized
specialist is allowed to adjust them.
