Product Usage Instructions

Battery Information:

Use only batteries with P/N 99511-30. When the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery is delivered, it is partially charged. Before using the battery for the first time, charge it completely using a Trimble dual battery charger (P/N 109000).

Inserting the Internal Battery:

Press the battery compartment lock downward to unlock.
Open the battery compartment.
Insert the battery into the battery compartment, with the battery connectors positioned towards the bottom of the instrument, and facing inward.
Close the battery compartment.

Inserting a Memory Card:

Open the memory card slot cover.
Insert the memory card into the slot with the label facing up.
Close the memory card slot cover.

Powering On/Off the Instrument:

Power on the instrument with a short press of the On/Off key. You will hear ascending beeps when the instrument is starting up.
To power off the instrument, press the On/Off key until the On/Off key LED starts to flash with a high frequency. The On/Off key LED will continue to flash with a high frequency until the
instrument powers off. You will hear descending beeps when the instrument is shutting down.

LED Indicators:

Off: The instrument is off.
Yellow, flashing: The instrument is starting up or shutting down.
Yellow, flashing slow: The instrument is ready, but not connected to a controller.
Yellow, solid: The instrument is ready and connected to a controller.
Yellow, flashing fast: The instrument is updating the firmware.
Orange, flashing: The On/Off key LED is flashing when the instrument is starting, shutting down, updating firmware, or running a diagnostic or field calibration report.
Green, solid: The instrument is ready to scan with a controller or scan button.
Blue, flashing: The instrument is initializing, calibrating, leveling, and scanning.
White, flashing: The instrument is acquiring images.
Red, solid: The instrument is encountering an issue with the battery, the SD card, leveling, auto-calibration, acquiring data, or there is a hardware failure.

For more information on the controller software, refer to the Trimble Perspective, Trimble Field Link, or Trimble Forensics Capture user guides.

BATTERY INFORMATION

WARNING – Before charging or using the battery, it is important that you read and understand the battery safety and environmental information in the X9 Regulatory Information Document.
NOTE – Remove the tape over the contact of the battery stored in the instrument before charging or using it with the scanner

Use only batteries with P/N 99511-30.
The performance of the battery is lower at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F). A cold battery might not be enough to start the instrument. For best battery performance, keep the battery close to 20 °C (68 °F) before using it. The battery has status indicator LEDs. Push the button on the battery to check the charge status.

Charge the battery
When the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery is delivered, it is partially charged. Before using the battery for the first time, charge it completely using a Trimble dual battery charger (P/N 109000).

NOTE – Refer to the X9 User Guide for more information

Insert the internal battery

$Trimble-X9-3D-Laser-Scanner-fig- $7$$

Press the battery compartment lock downward to unlock.
Open the battery compartment.
Insert the battery into the battery compartment, with the battery connectors positioned towards the bottom of the instrument, and facing inward.
Close the battery compartment

INSERT A MEMORY CARD

NOTE – Before inserting (or removing) a memory card from the instrument, ensure that the instrument is off.
CAUTION –Do not insert the memory card upside down or back to front. Inserting it incorrectly could damage the instrument and/or the memory card.

Open the memory card slot cover.
Slide the memory card into the card slot until it clicks into the locked position.
Close the memory card slot cover.

SETUP

A stable setup is critical for high precision measurements. Set the tripod legs wide apart to ensure stability. Please consider that the instrument requires sufficient time to adjust to the ambient temperature. The rule-of- thumb for a high precision measurement is:

Celsius : Temperature difference in degrees Celsius (°C) ×2 = duration in minutes required for the instrument to adjust to the new ambient temperature.
Fahrenheit : Temperature difference in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) = duration in minutes required for the instrument to adjust to the new ambient.

POWER ON/OFF INSTRUMENT

Power on the instrument with a short press of the On/Off key. You will hear ascending beeps when the instrument is starting up.
To power off the instrument, press the On/Off key until the On/Off key LED starts to flash with a high frequency. The On/Off key LED will continue to flash with a high frequency until the instrument powers off. You will hear descending beeps when the instrument is shutting down

OPERATION

The instrument is operated from the Trimble T10x tablet or comparable Microsoft® Windows® 10 tablet running the Trimble Perspective, Trimble Field Link, or Trimble Forensics Capture software. When the instrument is started, it is available for connection by the field software with Wi-Fi or with a USB 2.0 cable.

NOTE – Use only the approved Hirose 6P-PC to USB 2.0 cable (P/N 53096032) for cable communication between the instrument and the controller.
NOTE – Scans can be started with a short press of the power button when the controller is not connected.

For more information on the controller software, refer to the Trimble Perspective,Trimble Field Link, or Trimble Forensics Capture user guides.
