3. General safety information
Proper use:
The Activity 850 and Activity855 scanners are intended for use in performing optical, three-
dimensional measurements of human jaw models.
It is possible to measure articulated models in order to simulate masticatory movements using
correspondingsoftware, asin an articulator.
Anything other than the proper use is strongly advised against, as improper use may cause
damageorinjury.
Pictures and screenshots may vary depending on the Scanner model Activity850 or Activity855 .

6. General safety information
When setting up, commissioning and operating the scanner, you must observe the following
safetyinformationatalltimes.
1.
The devicemay be operated only by adequately trained staff who have knowledge
concerning the proper use of the device as well as the safety information cited here.
2.
The device is intended exclusively for use in dry, enclosed rooms.
3.
The device may be operated only on a stable base (tabletop, bench, etc.) that has a load
bearing capacity which is at least twice the net weight of the scanner as stated in the
technical specifications.
The base must be fixed to a building wall or have a braced support frame that is suitable for
absorbingvibrationsoccurringduringoperationofthescanner.
Besides the pure load-bearing capacity, the sturdiness and stability of the base is crucial for
safe operation of the scanner.
4.
The information on transport and storage must be observed when lifting and transporting the
scanner.
5.
Please do not place any objects on the scanner, as there is a risk that these can fall down
owing to the surface structure as well as the resultant vibrations during scanning operation.
6.
The "Activity 850" and “Activity 855” scanners has been developed and manufactured in
accordance with the applicable safety standards and with the greatest possible care. In spite
of this, the risk of an electric shock, overheating or fire due to technical defects in individual
components cannot be totally excluded.
You should therefore switch the device off when not using it for longer periods and when it
is left unattended. This also benefits the environment, as it means less electrical energy is
consumed.
7.
Thescannercontains a motionunit comprisingthreeelectrically powered axesof rotation
that serve to position the object during scanning.
To enable the object to be clamped in a definite position as well as a faster workflow during
scanning, the movement axes are also kept in position electrically when the flap is open.
Anelectronicprotectionmechanismpreventsthe motorsfromstartingupunintentionallyor

11
continuing to operate when the flap is opened.
As there is a theoretical possibility of the protection mechanism failing, this entails a residual
risk which you can counter by complying with the following rules of use:
7.1.
Do not open the front flap during a scanning procedure until after
a corresponding prompt or the end of a scanning procedure has been displayed on the
screen.
7.2.
If you determine that the scanner is acting unusually, such as an uncontrolled or continuous
rotation of one or more movement axes, switch off the scanner at the main switch before
opening the flap.
If this unusual behaviour continues after switching on again and restarting the software, do
not use the scanner any longer. The device must be marked as defective and prevented from
beingputinto operationagainuntilthefault is rectified.
7.3.
Do not reach inside the scanner if one or more movement axes move despite the flap being
open. Switch the scanner off immediately.
The scanner may no longer be used in this case and must be marked as defective and
preventedfrom beingputintooperation againuntilthe faultisrectified.
7.4.
During scanning, never reach below the area between the rocker and case that is marked by
warningsigns.
This also applies if the rocker is swivelled upwards to the rear.
Before removing any objects that have fallen into the scanner or before cleaning the scanner
compartment, you must switch off the device at the main switch.
8.
If you notice that the scanner is damaged or defective, you must label it as defective and
make sure that it is not used until it has been repaired.

7. Installation
8.1 Selecting the installation location
Before installing the scanner, you should select a suitable installation location.
A suitable, stable base (bench, tabletop etc.) should be chosen as an installation location.
If you install the computer required for operating the scanner underneath the worktop, the
available worktop area should be at least 1.1m x 0.75m (front width x depth). If you planto also
place the computer on the worktable, the area must be enlarged corresponding to the dimensions
of the computer.
Theselected workplaceshould,ifpossible,face awayfromwindows or strongartificial light,as
excessively strong external light can lead to undesirable reflections onthe monitor thatcan
interfere with the functioning and results of the optical scanner in extreme cases.
8.2 Unpacking and scope of delivery
Inspect the external packaging for visible damage as soon as you take delivery of the scanner. If
you notice that the packaging is damaged, inform the delivering forwarder and your specialist
dealer immediately.
The device is delivered in a strong outer box on a wooden pallet. After removing the straps, open
the upper folding lid of the box. The box contains a foam piece that protects the scanner, which is
packed below duringtransport.
First, pull the foam pieceupwards out of the box.You can then lift off the whole box upwards.
The net weight of the scanner is approx. 33 kg.
Alwaysobservethe followinginstructions to liftthe scannerproperlyoutofthe
packaging and position it at its location of use.
Y Two people must lift the device out of the packaging and place it on the prepared,
intended workplace.
Y Be sure to transport the scanner (while still on the pallet) as closely as possible to the
workplace toavoid longertransport distances.
The scanner accessories can be found at the base of the packaging.
Check that the scope of delivery is complete.

8.3 Carrying points
Carrying points are provided to move the device. Please note these specifications.
Stand so that one person each is positioned to the left and right of the scanner. Take hold of the
scanner with one hand at the bottom front of the scanner and the other hand at the top rear. In
this way, the scanner can be safely tilted slightly to the rear.

8.4 Removingthe scannerfrom the packaging
1. To remove the scanner from the packaging, one person stands to the left of the scanner and
the other person stands to the right.
2. Each person must take hold of the scanner with one hand on the upper support point. Next, tilt
the scanner slightly to the rear until you can grip underneath the scanner at the front with your
otherhand.(Figures2and3)
3. Working together and at the same time, lift the scanner out of the packaging and place it at
theinstallationsite.
4. When doing do, make sure that you have free access to the workplace and do not trip over the
packaging.

3. Connect the scanner to a power source via the mains connection on the rear.
4. Now switch the scanner on at the mains switch.
5. Now first switch the scanner off again and continue by installing the computer and
operating software.
9.2 Installingthecomputer
Installthecomputerfollowingtheinstallationinstructionsofthecomputermanufacturer.
9.3 Installingthesoftware
As each scanner has been calibrated individually at the factory, the data on the
installationCDisvalidonlyforthecorrespondingscanner.Thiscalibrationdata
contains a code that can be enabled only by the corresponding scanner. Therefore,
compare the serial number indicated on the data plate of the scanner with the serial
number indicated on the CD to make sure they match before installation.
If you have mistakenly installed an incorrect version of the software, you must uninstall the
incorrect version first.
If you are installing the Activity software on your computer for the first time, use the installation
CD provided with the scanner.
A window will open after inserting the CD. The "Setup" icon opens and must be selected to start
the installation.
