Follow these guidelines to ensure good care of your MPS.

Clean the dark plastic lenses on the two laser scanner modules in the scan head periodically.

• Check at regular intervals for signs of dust, smudges, or other contamination.
• Clear any spider-webs or other visual obstructions.
• In the event of a VISUAL POLLUTION (LENS) message, check the lenses immediately.
• Lower the scan head for lens cleaning, if possible. If not possible, follow site-specific and regional safety regulations where using access equipment to reach the scan head.

Where vandalism or theft is a risk:

• Ensure all power and data cables are buried or protected by a metal cover.
• Remove lifting jack from support structure.
• Install operator console, message board and printer so they can be securely locked up when not in use.
• If a generator is used to power the MPS, ensure it is secured or removed when not in use.
• If the MPS is a trailer-mounted model, remove the wheels for long-term installation.

The MPS power box incorporates a mains (line) power surge protector designed to protect the MPS system against power surges from nearby lightning strikes or other AC power supply issues.

This module can fail if it absorbs a large surge and should be checked periodically.

To check the status of the surge module:

1. Turn the power isolator switch on the front of the power box to the OFF position.
2. Open the cabinet door.
3. Locate the bright-red module with coloured status indicator.

If the status indicator is green, this module is OK.
If the status indicator is red, the removable (push-in/pull-out) surge module needs to be replaced.
Please contact your Loadscan representative for a replacement surge module.

Also ensure any installed power conditioners or Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) equipment for your site is properly maintained and operating correctly.

When moving the MPS from one site to another:

• Ensure a soft protective cover is used to protect the scan head during transport.
• Secure the cover so there is no chance of rubbing against scanner lenses.
• Avoid excessive vibration of scan head.
• Transport the operator console, message board and printer separately in a dry, low-vibration space (if removable).
• Secure cables and protect electrical connectors from rain and dirt.
• Follow site-specific and regional safety regulations when lifting or securing MPS for transport.

Loadscan can supply LVS software updates or configuration changes as an automatic update file.

The file will be detected by the LVS and processed automatically.

Refer to instructions provided with the update file when an update is required for your MPS.
