Introduction
TheIolineBoxDimsystemmeasuresrectangular/cuboidobjectson‐demand.Itisintendedtoworkin
conjunctionwithanexistingscale.DimensionsaresenttoWindows®PCbasedapplicationsovereither
anethernetorUSBconnection.TypicalusesfortheBoxDimsystemareformeasuringpackagesin
shippingenvironmentsandinventorymeasurementforstockingdatabases.Measurementdataand
imagesaresavedwithinthedevice(limitedonlybystoragecapacity)andareaccessiblefromthe
BoxDimPCapplication.Mountingthescannerexactly48inchesabovethescaleandperpendiculartoa
scaleedgeiscriticalforaccuratemeasurements.

BuildtheStand
1. PreparetheArea:Ensuretheinstallationareaisfreeofobjectsandobstructionswithin20
inchesfromthecenterofthescale.
2. ChoosetheStandBaseLocation:
a. Countermounting:Findalocationonthemountingsurfacesothatthecenterofthe
baseisapproximately21to24inchesfromthecenterofthescaleandsothatthestand
baseisdirectlybehindortothesideofthescale.Itisimportantthestandis
perpendiculartoanedgeofthescale.
b. WallMounting:Makesurethebaseismountedonawallorpostsothatthedistance
fromthemountingsurfacetothecenterofthescaleis20to23inches.Itisimportant
thethatthescannerpoleisperpendiculartoanedgeofthescale.Usedifferent
mountinghardwareifrequiredbythewallmountinglocation.Donotinstallthebase
now.
3. InstalltheStandBase(CounterMountingOnly):
WARNING:Astrongconnectionofthebasetothemountingsurfaceisimportantfor
usersafety.
a. Usetheincluded¼inchlagscrewsandwasherstosecurethestandbasetothe
mountingsurface.
b. Useadrilltomakeapilotholeforeachscrew,usually3/32–3/16inchesforwood
dependingonthedensityofthematerial.Checkthepilotholediameterforyour
application.
4. AssembletheUprightPole(CounterMountingOnly):
a. Findtheuprightpoles.Therearetwo,theyarethesamelength,anddonothaveholes
drilledinthem.
b. Onaflatsurfaceinsertbothuprightpolesintotheopenendsoftheuprightjointmaking
suretheyareinsertedasfarastheywillgo.
c. SnuglytightentheAllenscrewswiththeincluded5mmAllenwrench.Taketurns
tighteningbothscrews1/2turneachalternatingbackandforthbetweenthemto
ensurethejointisevenlytightenedontobothpoles.
d. Makesurethepolesstaycompletelyinsertedintheuprightjointduringassembly.

5. InstalltheUprightPole(CounterMountingOnly):
a. Inserttheuprightpoleassemblyintothestandbasethentightenthesetscrewwiththe
included5mmAllenwrenchtoholdthepoleinplace.

Page8of18

b. Inserttheplasticcapintotheexposedtopendoftheuprightpoleusingahammerto
lightlytapintoplace.Insertapieceofcardboardorwoodoverthecaptoprevent
damagetothecap.
6. InstalltheScannerPole:
WARNING:Atallstoolorladderisrequiredforthefollowingstepsifthescanneris
installedonacountertoporawallthatisbeyondreachwhenstandingonthefloor.Get
assistanceforanotherpersonandfollowallsafetyinstructionsforthestoolorladder.
a. Placethescannerpolewithinreach.
b. Ifcountermounting,makesurethescannerpoleclamppiecesareinterlockedtogether
onthesideoppositetheAllenscrew.




c. Ifcountermounting,loosentheAllenscrewuntilitisjustabouttofallout.Slidethe
scannerpoleclampovertheuprightpoleandholditinplacewithonehand.
d. Ifcountermounting,whileholdingthescannerpoleclampinplace,fullyinserttheend
ofthescannerpolewithoutdrilledholesintothescannerpoleclampandlightlytighten
theAllenscrewsothatpoleremainsinplace.
e. Ifwallmounting,insertthescannerpoleintothestandbaseandlightlytightentheset
screw.ThestandbaseisNOTmountedtothewallyet.
f. Rotatethescannerpolesothatthedrilledholesfaceupwards.
g. Thescannerpolerequiresadjustmentlatersodonotsnuglytightenyet.

WARNING:Atallstoolorladderisrequiredforthefollowingstepsifthescannerisinstalledona
countertoporawallthatisbeyondreachwhenstandingonthefloor.Getassistancefromanother
personandfollowallsafetyinstructionsforthestoolorladder.
1. ChoosetheInstallationHoles:
a. Choosingtheinstallationholestomountthescannertothescannerpolerequires
findingaholethatisroughlyabovethecenterofthescale.Thereareseven(7)
mountingholes
b. Holdtheincludedclothrulersothatoneendhangsfromthescannerpoleandthefar
endisroughlyoverthecenterofthescale.
c. Chooseaholethatisclosesttotheendoftheruleratthescannerpoleendofthetape.
Thisisthefrontmountingholeforthescanner.
d. Makesurethatanotherholeisavailable3inchesbehindthathole(closertotheupright
poleorwall)whichistherearscannermountinghole.Ifthereisnotonethere,choose
thenextholeforward.
2. MounttheScanner:
IMPORTANT:Keepthebottomscanningsurfacecoveredwiththefoampackaginguntil
isitmountedonthescannerpole.
a. HoldtheBoxDimscannersothatthebackoftheunitwithalltheconnectionopenings
andlabelsfacesthestanduprightpole/wallANDthefoam‐coveredscanningsurface
withtheLEDsandholesfacesdown.
b. Insertboth#10‐32screwsthroughtheholesinthescannerpolechosenaboveandinto
thethreadedholesonthetopofthescanner.
c. TightenthescrewswithaPhillipsscrewdriversothatscannerremainsinplace.Donot
overtighten.
d. Removetheprotectivefoamsheetfromthebottomofthescanner.


3. AdjusttheScannerLocation:
IMPORTANT:Itiscriticalthatbottomofthescannerisexactly48inches(1219mm)
fromthescalesurface.Consistentandaccuratemeasurementsdependonthisdistance.
Completingtheadjustmentstepsbelowareimportant.Itisbesttouseatapemeasure
forthisprocess.Aclothtapeisincludedasabackupbutisnotpreferred.Havinghelp
fromasecondpersonmakesthisprocessmucheasier.
a. Useatapemeasure(ortheincludedclothtapeifnecessary)tomeasurethedistance
betweenthebottomofthescanner(thescanningsurface)andthetopofthescale.The
targetheightisexactly48inches(1219mm).NOTE:Ifusingtheclothtape,makesure
topullittighttoremovewrinkles.Thisprocessrequirestwopeopletoperform.

b. Ifcountermounting,whileholdingthescannerpole(donotpushonthescanner),rotate
itleftandrightwhilepullingupordowntoadjustthescannerpoleheight.
c. Ifcountermounting,tightenthescrewonthescannerpoleclampthenchecktheheight
toconfirmthebottomscannersurfaceisstillexactly48inchesabovethescale.
d. Ifcountermounting,repeattheabovestepstomakefineadjustmentsifthe
measurementisnotexactly48inches(1219mm)abovethescalesurfaceafterthe
scannerpoleclampscrewistight.
e. Ifwallmounting,tightenthesetscrewinthestandbasethenholdthescannerand
scannerpoleassemblyfirmlyagainstthemountingsurfacewhileasecondperson
measuresthedistancefromthebottomscanningsurfacetothescalesurface.Whenthe
heightisexactly48inches(1219mm)abovethescalesurface,markthescannerbase
holelocations.Mountthescannerbasewiththelagscrewsinthemarkedlocationsas
describedabove.
f. Placetheincludedvial‐levelontopofthescannerclosetothescannerpoleandsothe
bubbleisvisiblefromthefrontofthescanner.
g. Withthe5mmAllenwrench,slightlyloosenthescannerpoleclampscrew(counter
mount)orstandbasesetscrew(wallmount)thengentlytwistthescannerpoleuntilthe
vial‐levelshowsthescannerislevellefttoright.
h. Tightenthescannerpoleclamp/standbasescrewthenconfirmtheheightisstillexactly
48inches.Continueadjustingbyrepeatingtheabovestepsifrequired.
i. Confirmthatallscrewsinthestandandscanneraretight.

