DANGER – Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, might result in death or serious injury.

WARNING – This alert warns of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could result in severe injury or even death.

CAUTION – This alert warns of a potential hazard or unsafe practice that could result in minor injury or property damage or irretrievable data loss.

NOTE – An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.

Use and care

This product is designed to withstand the rough treatment and tough environment that typically occurs in construction applications. However, the scanner is a high-precision electronic instrument and should be treated with reasonable care.

Also see, Care and maintenance.

CAUTION – Operating or storing the instrument outside the specified temperature range can damage it.

CAUTION – Please read carefully the manual before using the instrument. Failure to follow the instructions, warnings and precautions that are in the manual may lead to device damage, and/or user injury.

Laser safety

Before you use the instrument, make sure that you understand this user guide, as well as all equipment, job site safety requirements and regulations.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with IEC 60825-1 2007, IEC 60825-1 2014, and 21 CFR 1040.10, and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.

WARNING – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous LED or laser radiation exposure. As with any bright light source, such as the sun, electric welding arcs or arc lamps, common sense applies. DO NOT look into the laser aperture when the laser is on. For further information regarding safe use of lasers, refer to the IEC 60825-1 2007, and IEC 60825-1 2014.

Apertures

The following figure shows the position of the Trimble® X9 3D laser scanner aperture.

Class 2 Laser Product

The Trimble X9 3D laser scanner is a CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT.

WARNING – Viewing the laser and/or LED output with telescopic optical instruments (for example, telescopes and binoculars) may pose an eye hazard.

The instrument contains visible and invisible laser sources.

  • Maximum output power of 1 mW

A class 1 laser with a wavelength of 1530–1570 nm for scanning measurements:

  • Beam divergence of 0.8 mrad

  • Output power of < 50 mW in scanning mode (rotational frequency > 20 Hz)

  • Pulse duration 0.5 ns

  • Pulse repetition rate 0.1 MHz – 1 MHz

Battery safety

WARNING – Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A damaged battery can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or property damage. To prevent injury or damage:

  • Do not use or charge the battery if it appears to be damaged. Signs of damage include, but are not limited to, discoloration, warping, and leaking battery fluid.

  • Do not expose the battery to fire, high temperature, or direct sunlight.

  • Do not immerse the battery in water.

  • Do not use or store the battery inside a vehicle during hot weather.

  • Do not drop or puncture the battery.

  • Do not open the battery or short-circuit its contacts.

WARNING – Avoid contact with the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery if it appears to be leaking. Battery fluid is corrosive, and contact with it can result in personal injury and/or property damage. To prevent injury or damage:

  • If the battery leaks, avoid contact with the battery fluid.

  • If battery fluid gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with clean water and seek medical attention. Do not rub your eyes!

  • If battery fluid gets onto your skin or clothing, immediately use clean water to wash off the battery fluid.

WARNING – Charge and use the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery only in strict accordance with the instructions. Charging or using the battery in unauthorized equipment can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. To prevent injury or damage:

  • Do not charge or use the battery if it appears to be damaged or leaking.

  • Charge the battery only in a Trimble product that is specified to charge it.

  • Be sure to follow all instructions that are provided with the battery charger.

  • Discontinue charging a battery that gives off extreme heat or a burning odor.

  • Use the battery only in Trimble equipment that is specified to use it.

  • Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the instructions in the product documentation.

  • Cover battery terminals with proper insulating tape before disposal to avoid heat generation by an inadvertent short-circuit.
