momentary exposures, but can be hazardous
for deliberate staring into the beam. Note that
dazzle, flash blindness and after-images may
result upon eye exposure to the visible laser
source, particularly under low ambient light
conditions. Users are instructed by labelling not
to stare into the beam, i.e. avoid continuous
intentional intrabeam viewing! Eye protection,
designed to provide adequate protection
against specific laser wavelengths (905 nm
typically), may be used in hazard areas. Any
exceptions should only be undertaken with the
approval of the local laser safety officer. All laser
protective eyewear shall be clearly labelled with
information adequate to ensure proper choice
with the particular laser. For the Quarryman Pro
instrument, the recommended CE marked laser
eyewear shall be marked as “R 905 L1” as a
minimum as specified to EN 207, or equivalent.
Do not stare into the beam or shine it into
the eyes of others. It is safe to view a diffuse-
reflected beam. Do not dismantle the unit in any
way; doing so may expose laser radiation in
excess of Class 2 combined limits.
CAUTION – LASER LIGHT IS BRIGHT AND
BLINDING – DO NOT SHINE AT AIRCRAFT

Introduction
2 Introduction
2.1 The Quarryman Pro
Figure 1: The Quarryman Pro
The Quarryman Pro is a field instrument which combines reflectorless laser ‘point and shoot’
measurement technology with high-speed automatic scanning. The unit can be used for
conventional total station survey methods as well as 3D laser scanning. Complete scenes and
objects in view at ranges of up to 750 m can be surveyed.
The instrument employs the ‘time-of-flight’ laser measurement technique to measure ranges to
rock faces and other objects without the need to place reflectors at the target. This allows accurate
measurements to be made of inaccessible points such as quarry faces and stockpiles.
Versions of the Quarryman have been used in the field for over 30 years. This experience has
ensured that the instrument has been developed very specifically for its intended applications. It is
designed to be very simple to use and is capable of operating in the harshest environments.
Selective use of the FastScan feature enables single or multiple high-definition scans to take place,
highlighting rock features and anomalies.
The Quarryman Pro will observe 250 points per second, or up to 900,000 points per hour.
Quarryman Viewer software is supplied with the Quarryman Pro. This can be used to process the
survey, and then to edit, view and export the data. Many third-party packages will also take in data
directly from the Quarryman Pro for specialist profiling and volumetric applications.

Laser safety
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.
The laser safety labels are located either on the underside of the laser module or integrated on the
‘Quickstart’ label on the flat of the yoke.
Only qualified and trained persons should be assigned to operate the Quarryman Pro. 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 optical instruments. Do not unnecessarily look into the transmitter lens of the Quarryman Pro
laser scanner.
Eye protection, designed to provide adequate protection against specific laser wavelengths
(905 nm typically), may be used in all hazard areas. Any exceptions should be undertaken with
the approval of the laser safety officer. All laser protective eyewear shall be clearly labelled with
information adequate to ensure proper choice with the particular laser. For the Quarryman Pro
instrument, the recommended CE marked laser eyewear shall be marked as “R 905 L1” minimum

Equipment description
4 Equipment description
The sections below describe each individual element of a standard Quarryman Pro system.
4.1 The Quarryman Pro
The Quarryman Pro instrument incorporates a laser module held between two pivots within a yoke.
The laser module houses the optical and electronic components that allow distance measurements
to be recorded to reflectorless targets up to 750 m from the instrument. The laser module rotates
vertically within the yoke.

Equipment description
The yoke itself contains the vertical motor which drives the movement of the laser module between
the pillars of the yoke. It also houses the vertical encoder which measures the angle through which
the laser is rotated.
The horizontal housing contains the horizontal motor which drives the rotational movement of the
yoke. It also houses the horizontal encoder which measures the angle through which the yoke is
rotated.
The combination of the two axes of rotation offers the Quarryman Pro a view that encompasses
360° horizontal and 135° vertical rotations. The yoke itself prevents the laser from viewing a 90°
sector of the vertical rotational sweep looking down to the ground beneath the instrument.
Both motors are protected with clutches.This means that if the unit is rotated
by hand or prevented from moving by an obstruction, the motors will not
be damaged. It is advisable, however, to minimise any manual movement of
the unit and to keep the instrument away from potential obstructions so the
motors may turn freely. Nevertheless, the possibility of finger or clothing
entrapment exists. Users should not obstruct the operation of the motors or
allow clothing to come into contact with the device.
4.2 Control Display Unit (CDU)
The CDU allows you to control the Quarryman Pro to input data and commands and to view the
operation and status of the unit. The CDU is integrated into the yoke. It incorporates a keypad and
screen.
NOTE: The memory in the CDU is protected by a small coin battery, which in normal use should
last 10 years before requiring replacement. The battery ensures that the time and date are retained.
If this battery needs replacing, this must be carried out by an engineer at a Renishaw-approved
service centre.
The 3.5 in screen is sun-readable, and has a 320 × 240 resolution display.
The keypad has 17 buttons, some of which have a dual use or can be used in conjunction with
other buttons in a sequence of button presses.
All multi-button combinations result in feedback (e.g. a dialog box or change of screen) to confirm
the appropriate action has been taken, so the buttons should be pressed until the feedback is
registered.
