2Introduction
Dynascan is a portable and easy to use laser scanning system, with the laser scanning
module, GNSS receiver, motion sensor and RTK radio all combined in one small pod. The
offsets between these individual units are fixed and each system is factory calibrated for
pitch and roll.
If you are using a Dynascan system which uses GNSS heading you will have to calibrate the
heading if you move the system from one platform to another.
2.1 Scope
This document is intended to enable the user to install, set-up and use the Dynascan system
in as fast a time as possible and provides a detailed explanation of the system and how to
modify various system parameters.
If you are required to update QPS QINSy software you need to visit the QPS website and log

5Laser Safety Information
The SLM is supplied with the standard laser module described below which has an integrated
red-dot laser pointer.
5.1 SLM Laser Module with Red-Dot Pointer Option
The laser classification of the SLM is a Class 2 laser product in compliance with the IEC 60825-
1:2001/07 / EN 60825-1:2001/07.
Only qualified and trained persons should be assigned to operate the SLM with red-dot laser
pointer. When not in use the laser should be stored in a location where unauthorized
personnel cannot gain access.
We recommend that the instrument is not directly pointed at people’s eyes, especially if they
are using binoculars. Do not unnecessarily look into the transmitter lens of the SLM laser
module.
WARNING –Visible and invisible laser radiation. Do not stare into the beam.
CAUTION –Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
that those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
WARNING –Opening the protective housing may result in exposure to Class
3B radiation.
