How to fix a Carlson Scanner that does not power up?
If your Carlson Scanner isn't powering up, start by ensuring the power cable is securely connected. Next, verify that the lithium-ion battery is fully charged before attempting any scanning operations. Finally, inspect the power cable, pins, and connectors for any signs of damage. If you find damage, arrange for repair or replacement of the cable.
What to do if my Carlson Scanner keeps shutting down?
If your Carlson Scanner shuts down during operations, the battery may be discharged. Try swapping to a backup power source or ensuring the battery is fully charged. Also, if you are using a lead acid battery, press 5 for 3 seconds while the instrument is powering up. The battery icon on the status bar will indicate Pb if the selection has been registered.
Why is there noise in the scan data of my Carlson Quarryman Pro Scanner?
If you observe 'noise' in the scan data during operations with your Carlson Scanner, avoid pointing the laser into strong sunlight, as this can interfere with the receiving optics. Also, laser ranging to wet surfaces is unpredictable, so avoid standing or running water on the targeted face. If these are not the cause, arrange recalibration, as the laser electronics may be faulty.
Why are the ranges incorrect in Point and shoot mode of my Carlson Quarryman Pro Scanner?
If you are getting incorrect ranges in Point and shoot mode on your Carlson Scanner, do not use a reflective prism as a target. If thick dust, mist, or snow is interfering with observations, switch on last-hit mode. If the problem persists, wait for dust or bad weather to clear, if feasible. Also, avoid pointing the laser directly at the sun.
How to fix multiple scans not matching up on my Carlson Scanner?
If your Carlson Scanner is producing multiple scans that don't match up or showing large traverse misclosures, ensure the initial reference observation is precisely aimed and pointing to the correct target. Use the bubble carefully to ensure the instrument is leveled before it is switched on. Also, ensure the tripod is secure and the tribrach is tightly fastened to it. Measure from the ground under the instrument to the cross on the side panel and enter in metres or feet. Only enter a target height if shooting to a target above the object being surveyed and enter in metres or feet. If these steps don't resolve the issue, arrange recalibration, as the telescope may not be aligned with the laser or the encoders may be faulty.
Why is the point cloud fuzzy on my Carlson Quarryman Pro?
If the point cloud from your Carlson Scanner is ill-defined and 'fuzzy', switch on last-hit mode if thick dust, mist, or snow is interfering with the scan. If the problem persists, wait for dust or bad weather to clear, if feasible. Laser ranging to wet surfaces is unpredictable.
What causes a large spread of heights from a resection on a Carlson Scanner?
If you observe large 'spread of heights' from a resection using your Carlson Scanner, ensure the targets are stable and have the targets remounted and resurveyed if necessary. Also, ensure the coordinates have been entered correctly in the processing software and that the correct target has been matched with the correct observation. If these steps don't resolve the issue, arrange recalibration, as the telescope may not be aligned with the laser.
Why are there holes in the point cloud from my Carlson Quarryman Pro?
If you're seeing 'holes' in the point cloud from your Carlson Scanner, it may be due to standing water or very unreflective surfaces such as coal. Laser ranging to wet or very dark surfaces is unpredictable; try moving closer to the targeted surfaces. If surfaces are beyond the range of the laser, set up the Quarryman Pro in another location if possible and combine scans to overcome range limitations. Surfaces such as coal can give severely reduced ranges, so move closer to the target.
What to do if Carlson Quarryman Pro Scanner does not progress past splash-screen?
If the instrument does not progress past the splash-screen when starting up your Carlson Scanner, power the unit down. Ensure the USB drive is present and securely connected. Restart the instrument.
