Installation
APS Scanner Function
When operational, the APS scanner provides absolute positioning data
for the pedestal. This is achieved with a rotating infrared laser scanner
head. When the infrared beam is reflected back from the APS reflective
targets installed in the studio, the absolute position of the pedestal on
the studio floor can be established and sent to the control system.
APS Scanner Safety
The laser scanner rotates at a rate of eight revolutions per second and
therefore the following safety points must be adhered to:
WARNING! Risk of personal injury. Do not hold the steering
ring in the proximity of the laser scanner when the pedestal
column is in a lowered position.
WARNING! Risk of personal injury or injury to others. Do
not attempt to touch the laser scanner on the APS scanner
unit while it is in motion. Warn other personnel and visitors
in the studio to the potential risk.
CAUTION! Risk of product damage. Do not route cables or
place objects near the rotating laser scanner head.
