however, care must still be exercised in the operating environment when using
the Quantum. Proper operation and care includes avoiding:
• Solvents.
• Abuse, such as dropping or twisting at end stops.
• Moisture and high humidity.
• Power fluctuations. See “Quantum Power Supply” on page 32.
• Excessive temperature changes without appropriate elapsed time. See
“Temperature Considerations” on page 122.

Your FaroArm and Laser ScanArm can give you many years of service when you
treat it with care.
