Picture 1: Minimum distance to the scanner
Do not operate the scanner in an area that has poor air circulation, and/or that is non-
ventilated.
Place the WideTEK 42/WideTEK 48 scanner on a flat and solid base. The load bearing
capacity of the base must correspond to the device weight.
It is recommended to place the scanner always on the floor stand which comes with the

Choose a location that complies with the limits of temperature and humidity. Refer to the
technical specification.
Note: Before using the WideTEK 42/WideTEK 48 scanner in the new environment
allow at least one hour for temperature adaptation.
Temperature adaptation means:
A fast change from cold to warm environmental conditions can build up
condensation inside the housing. This will result in unfavorable scanned images
and could cause permanent damages to the unit.
