Chapter 1
Product Description
The CubiScan 125 is a small static cubing system that uses a combi-
nation of sensing technologies to measure and weigh irregu-
larly-shaped parts and components as well as boxed items. Small
parts and non-cuboidal items are measured with great precision
using infrared sensing technology, while larger boxed items are
measured with ultrasonic sensors.
The CubiScan 125 is commonly used to improve storage-space
planning, for carton size selection, repacking, check-weighing, and
shipment manifesting in medical, pharmaceutical, apparel, hard-
ware, and consumer goods distribution. It has an integrated touch
screen display and outputs to a user-supplied PC. Capacity for
boxes/cases is 24 x 30 x 36 inches with a resolution of 0.1 inches;
irregular items can be measured up to 18 x 18 x 12 inches with a res-
olution of 0.05 inches. The CubiScan 125 also includes an inte-
grated, high-accuracy 50 x 0.005 lbs. scale.
Each unit has one active serial communication port, one Ethernet
port, and one USB port. Proprietary interface software, called
Qbit™, is available and allows for menu-driven operator control,
data storage/transfer, and diagnostics. A mobile cart and useful
accessories such as a portable power supply are available to create a
completely mobile cubing, weighing, and identification worksta-
tion.
The CubiScan 125 combines powerful sensing technologies to cre-
ate a flexible and economical solution for today’s most demanding
cubing and weighing applications.

Setup
This chapter provides instructions for assembling and setting up the
CubiScan 125. Perform the steps to set up the CubiScan 125 in the
following order:
•Unpack the CubiScan 125 (page 5)
•Place the CubiScan 125 where you will be using it (page 8)
•Assemble the CubiScan 125 (page 9)
•Remove the shipping material (page 17)
•Connect the CubiScan 125 to a computer or network (optional)
(page 21)
•Connect power to the CubiScan 125 (page 32)
•Turn on the CubiScan 125 (page 21)
•Install the Qbit PC control software (optional) (page 32)
Unpacking
The CubiScan 125 is shipped in a single container with all compo-
nents. The glass platform is packed in a separate cardboard box
inside the crate.
Remove the wood slats and the packing material, and lift the Cubi-
Scan 125 components carefully from the crate. Do not remove the

green foam shipping supports between the scale base and platform
or the wire tie that holds the measuring gate in place; they will help
prevent damage to the load cells and gate while you are assembling
the CubiScan 125.
Examine the container and the CubiScan 125 carefully for any dam-
age. If, after unpacking, you discover any damage to the CubiScan
125, contact the carrier immediately. Refer to Figure 3 and the list
below it to identify the components.

If any of the components or accessories are missing or defective,
contact Quantronix or your system integrator.
Carefully remove the CubiScan 125 and its components from the
crate, and place the CubiScan 125 on a solid, stable surface for
assembly (see “Assembling the CubiScan 125” on page 9.
Placement
The CubiScan 125 is designed to be operated in a warehouse envi-
ronment; however, for proper operation the following conditions
should be met if possible.
•Do not subject the CubiScan 125 to extremes in temperature or
humidity. Locate the CubiScan 125 as far from open freight
doors as possible. Heaters or air conditioners should not blow
directly on the CubiScan 125.
•Protect the CubiScan 125 from static electricity, especially the
touch screen.
•Place the CubiScan 125 on a flat, sturdy surface as free from
vibration as possible. Excess vibration can reduce the accuracy
of the CubiScan 125 scale.
•The CubiScan 125'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 125. Do not rest objects
against or set objects on the CubiScan 125 when not in use.
•If a computer is used, place it as close to the CubiScan 125 as
possible. The operator needs to use the keyboard or mouse on the
computer while cubing and weighing packages using the Cubi-
Scan 125.
•Orient the CubiScan 125 so the touch screen faces the operator.
Assembling the CubiScan 125
The CubiScan 125 is almost completely assembled when shipped.
You only need to attach the top sensor support and route the sensor
cable. Take the following steps.
1. Place the base assembly of the CubiScan 125 on a stable sur-
face. (An optional cart, custom-designed for the CubiScan 125,
is available from Quantronix.)
Do not remove the green foam shipping supports between the
scale base and platform or the wire tie that holds the measuring
gate in place; they will help prevent damage to the load cells
and gate while you are assembling the CubiScan 125.
