2. Position the Scanner Mount (A) on the base of the Laser Scanner as shown. Using the provided 4mm hex key
tighten the four screws in a criss-cross pattern as shown. Continue tightening in this pattern until all screws are
snug, do not exceed 1.5Nm (13in-lb).
Set Up the Tripod
1. Extend the legs of the tripod and lock the leg angle clips.
2. Ensure that the tripod is stable, the feet are secure, and the platform is as level as possible.
3. Remove any previously installed adapters or mounting plates.
Attach the Base Plate to the Tripod Platform
1. Verify the mounting stud of the tripod is a 3/8 thread. If the mounting stud is a 5/8 thread, the Thread Adapter (D)
should be removed from the Coupling (B) using the provided 4mm hex key.
2. Place and center the Base Plate w/Graduated Dial (C) onto the tripod platform.

5. Check that the scanner and tripod are correctly locked gently lifting up on the bottom of the scanner. If it stays
attached to the tripod the scanner is secure.
6. Check the inclinometer and adjust your tripod to make sure it is secure and level before you begin your scan
project.
Additional Tips
1. If you are setting up the tripod on a natural surface, replace the rubber tripod feet with spikes for increased
stability.
2. Periodically check the tightness of the quick release on the tripod.
3. Never force the laser scanner to turn without releasing the thumb screw.
4. Remove the laser scanner before moving the tripod.
To Achieve Stability and Rigidity

• Extend the tripod as little as possible. Less height
means more accuracy.
• Extend the thicker segments of the legs before the
thinner.
• You can extend a leg segment partially, if necessary,
to achieve a specific height, but do not partially extend
several segments of the same leg.
• The tripod has four leg segments, three of which are
extendable. Fully extend segment ②, leaving
segments ③and ④collapsed. This results in a
working height of approximately 130 cm (51.2 in).
• The tripod is equipped with large, adjustable rubber
feet. Each time you move the tripod, ensure that the
feet are correctly resting on the ground. If you need to
place the tripod on unstable ground (e.g., grass,
gravel, mud), use the supplied spikes instead of the
rubber feet. Press the spikes individually into the
ground until they reach a stable, load-bearing layer.
• After you set the tripod on the ground, check the leg
latches. If any latches are loose, spread the legs
slightly until the latches cannot be wiggled. This
ensures that the tripod is firmly planted on the ground,
and unlikely to shake or vibrate during scanning.
• The use of the center column significantly reduces the rigidity of the tripod. We recommend that you avoid using the
center column. If you need higher working heights, we recommend using a larger tripod. Make sure that a such a
tripod is also stable.
• For scans close to the ground, slide all leg segments into each other before setting the leg angle to flat. The rubber
feet have a recess that helps to achieve full-surface contact, even with a flat leg angle. To do this, turn the feet
individually by hand.
• Ensure that the twist-lock sleeves for leg length adjustment, the central wing nut of the tripod shoulder, and the
tripod head are always tightly screwed together.
• To achieve a better grip on hard surfaces, slightly tension the tripod legs before starting a scan. Tension the legs by
holding two of the three tripod legs as close to the ground as possible with your hands, pulling them slightly apart
from each other and away from the third leg, then pressing them into the ground.
Windy Conditions
FARO recommends the use of the ACCSS8032 tripod (with the Focus scanner) in winds less than 35mph (56km/h). In
stronger winds, it may be required to use a heavier aftermarket surveyor type tripod. See the following guidelines to
maximize stability of your FARO tripod in windy conditions.
• Use sandbags to stabilize each foot of the tripod. You can also stretch a rope or shock cord between the tripod’s
center hook and a weight (max. 20kg), switchable magnetic base, or existing anchor point (max. force 200N).
• Orient one of the tripod legs with the main wind direction. Also, only extend one section of the tripod legs (never
extend the center column – this degrades the resistance against vibrations).

• Tripod legs must be opened to the side at the maximum in first horizontal lock position. It’s possible to lock the legs
in wider horizontal position but this will dramatically limit the scanner height and make the setup less resistant
against vibration.

2. Ensure that the tripod is stable, the feet are secure, and the platform is as level as possible.
3. Make adjustments as needed to the platform set screws (one or more) using the original tripod hex key to recess
the screws below the platform surface. For correct installation of the base plate, they must not extend above the
platform surface.
Attach the Base Plate to the Tripod Platform
1. Ensure that the base plate set screw is recessed below the surface of the base plate by inserting the 3 mm silver
hex key into the hexagonal recess in the center of the set screw.
2. Install the base plate on the tripod platform by threading the base plate 3/8" center hole onto the tripod platform 3/
8" threaded stud. The two parts should fit flush against each other. Twist the base plate in a clockwise direction,
securing it snuggly to the platform.
