CubiScan 110-T 1
Chapter 1
Product Description
The CubiScan 110-T is a precision volume measuring and weighing
instrument for use in applications in which precise weighing and
measuring is required.
The CubiScan 110-T design is unique because it combines parcel
dimensional measuring and weighing into one operation. The collected
data can be formatted and transmitted to a host computer via a serial
RS-232, Ethernet, or USB port. The collected data is also displayed on the
control panel.
The CubiScan 110-T has four sensors (ultrasonic transducers) that
determine the length, width, and height of an object placed on its
measuring surface. The object is simultaneously weighed by a precision
aluminum load cell. The load cell and sensors are controlled by a
proprietary Quantronix controller. The controller, load cell, and support
circuitry are located in the base of the CubiScan 110-T.
The CubiScan 110-T has been designed for use in industrial environments.
The load cell, frame, and sensor housing are made of forged and machined
aluminum. A mobile cart and useful accessories such as a portable power
supply are available to create a completely mobile cubing, weighing, and
identification workstation.
The CubiScan 110-T is easy to assemble, set up, operate, and maintain. Its
simple design and extreme accuracy coupled with intelligent,
self-contained circuitry make the CubiScan 110-T a valuable
weighing/measuring tool.
The CubiScan 110-T was calibrated at the factory, but may require
recalibration due to handling during shipping, Complete calibration
instructions for the CubiScan 110-T are provided in “Calibration” on
page 34.

Setting Up the Back Panel
Take the following steps to attach the back panel and connect the sensor
cables.
1. Remove the four screws from the back of the CubiScan 110-T.
2. Lift the back panel into its upright position, making sure not to
constrict the three sensor cables protruding from the back of the scale
plate.
3. Use the screws from step 1 to secure the back panel in its upright
position.
4. Insert the plug on each length sensor cable into its socket on the back
(at each end) of the CubiScan 110-T.

5. Route the height sensor cable up the channel on the back panel, and
insert the plug into the socket on the height sensor.
Adjusting the Shipping Bolts
Three shipping bolts are located on the CubiScan base to anchor the scale
to the base. The bolts must be tightened after shipping for proper operation
of the scale. Complete the following steps to adjust the shipping bolts.
1. Carefully tip the CubiScan 110-T onto the back panel to expose the
bottom of the scale.

2. Turn all three of the shipping bolts clockwise until the head is tight
against the scale plate.
3. Tip the CubiScan 110-T back to its upright position.
Placement
The CubiScan 110-T is designed to be operated in a warehouse
environment; however, for proper operation the following conditions
should be met if possible.
•Do not subject the CubiScan to extremes in temperature or humidity.
Locate the CubiScan as far from open freight doors as possible. Heaters
or air conditioners should not blow directly on the CubiScan.
•Protect the CubiScan from static electricity, especially the control panel.
•Place the CubiScan on a flat, sturdy surface as free from vibration as
possible. Excess vibration can reduce the accuracy of the CubiScan 110-T
scale.
•The CubiScan’s platform is free-floating—it is resting on a spring (load
cell). Maintain a minimum of one-inch clearance at the back and sides of
the CubiScan. Do not rest objects against or set objects on the CubiScan
when not in use.

•If a computer is used, place it as close to the CubiScan as possible. The
operator needs to use the keyboard or mouse on the computer while
cubing and weighing packages using the CubiScan 110-T.
•Orient the CubiScan so the control panel faces the operator.
After meeting the above criteria as best as possible, complete the following
steps to place and level the CubiScan 110-T.
1. Place the CubiScan 110-T on a solid, stable surface. Be sure that nothing
touches the back wall or top platter, as this may affect the scale.
2. Place the bubble level provided in the center of the scale platter.
3. Adjust the five leveling feet under the CubiScan 110-T to level the scale.
Make sure all feet are touching the supporting surface.
An optional cart and portable power supply are available from Quantronix
to create a completely mobile cubing, weighing, and identification
workstation.
Connecting Power
The CubiScan 110-T uses an external AC power adapter. Take the following
steps to connect power to the CubiScan.
1. Locate the AC power adapter, which is bundled inside the CubiScan
base. The DC power cord from the power adapter is attached to the
controller box.
2. Locate the AC power cord (supplied), and connect it to the AC power
adapter.
3. Route the AC power cord under the CubiScan base so it cannot be
crushed, bent, or pulled loose.
4. Connect the other end of the AC power cord to a standard power strip
equipped with an ON/OFF switch.
5. Use the power strip switch to turn the CubiScan on and off (see
“Turning on the CubiScan” on page 10).

Setup Turning on the CubiScan
CubiScan 110-T 10
Turning on the CubiScan
Specific procedures must be followed each time you turn on the CubiScan
110-T, as follows:
1. Make sure there are no packages or other objects on the CubiScan
platform.
2. Turn on the CubiScan 110-T via the power strip (see “Connecting
Power” on page 9).
The CubiScan performs self-calibration and diagnostic procedures that
take about five seconds. Do not touch the CubiScan platform during
these five seconds.
Connecting to a Computer or Network
To operate the CubiScan 110-T, you can connect it to a computer or a
network, or you can use the control panel, as follows:
•Connect it via a USB to USB cable. Use Qbit software on the computer to
run the CubiScan 110-T.
•Connect it to a host system via a standard 10-BaseT Ethernet TCP/IP
port.
•Connect it to a PC using a serial RS-232 cable.
USB Connection
Complete the following steps to connect the CubiScan 110-T to a computer
using a USB connection. The USB connection method is the recommended
method, and all materials needed for communicating with a computer are
supplied.
1. Place the computer in its permanent location, generally close to the
CubiScan. (Refer to “Placement” on page 8 for more information.)
2. Route the USB cable under the base so it cannot be crushed, bent, or
pulled loose.
3. The CubiScan controller is located just behind the control panel at the
front of the base. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB
connector on the back of the CubiScan controller, as shown below.

Setup Connecting to a Computer or Network
CubiScan 110-T 11
4. Locate a free USB port on your computer and connect the other end of
the USB cable to the port.
When you have completed these steps, the CubiScan 110-T should
communicate with a computer.
Ethernet Connection
Complete the following steps to connect the CubiScan 110-T to a computer
using an Ethernet connection.
1. Place the computer in its permanent location, generally close to the
CubiScan. (Refer to “Placement” on page 8 for more information.)
2. Route the Ethernet cable under the base so it cannot be crushed, bent,
or pulled loose.
3. The CubiScan controller is located just behind the control panel at the
front of the base. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
connector on the back of the CubiScan controller, as shown below. Push
the connector in until it locks. There should be an audible snap when it
locks.
