Proper use:
The Activity 885 scanner is 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
corresponding software, as in an articulator.
Anything other than the proper use is strongly advised against, as improper use may cause
damage or injury.

General safteyinformation

When setting up, commissioning and operating the scanner, you must observe the following
safety information at all times:
1.
The device may be operated only by adequately trained staff that has 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
absorbing vibrations occurring during operation of the scanner.
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 885" scanner 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.
The scanner contains a motion unit comprising four electrically powered axes of 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.
7. General saftey information

An electronic protection mechanism prevents the motors from starting up unintentionally or
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
being put into operation again until the fault 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
prevented from being put into operation again until the fault is rectified.
7.4.
During scanning, never reach below the area between the rocker and case that is marked by
warning signs.
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.

General safteyinformation

The net weight of the scanner is approx. 32,2 kg.
Always observe the following instructions to lift the scanner properly out of the
packaging and position it at its location of use.
Two people must lift the device out of the packaging and place it on the prepared,
intended workplace.
Be sure to transport the scanner (while still on the pallet) as closely as possible to the
workplace to avoid longer transportdistances.
The scanner accessories can be found at the base of the packaging.
Check that the scope of delivery is complete.
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 during transport.
First, pull the foam piece upwards out of the box. You can then lift off the whole box upwards.
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 1.1 m x 0.75 m (front width x depth). If you plan to also place the
computer on the worktop, the area must be enlarged corresponding to the dimensions of the
computer.
The selected workplace should, if possible, face away from windows or strong artificial light, as
excessively strong external light can lead to undesirable reflections on the monitor that can interfere
with the functioning and results of the optical scanner in extreme cases.

Rear carrying points
(rear of the device)
Never carry the scanner with the flap open, and do not carry the scanner using the flap
itself.
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

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 other
hand. (Figures 2 and 3)
3. Working together and at the same time, lift the scanner out of the packaging and place it at the
installation site.
4. When doing do, make sure that you have free access to the workplace and do not trip over the
packaging.

2. Connect the other ends of the USB cables to USB connections on the rear of your computer.
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.
Install the computer following the installation instructions of the computer manufacturer.
As each scanner has been calibrated individually at the factory, the data on the installation
CD is valid only for the corresponding scanner. This calibration data 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.
