Assembly

This section provides an overview of iDimension Plus assembly instructions.
3.1 Unit Assembly
To assemble the iDimension Plus, follow the procedure below.
3.1.1 Pole Assembly

1. Locate the two hex screws and two Phillips screws pre-installed at the pole joint of the upper pole assembly.
   Using a 3 mm hex key and #2 Phillips screw driver, remove the screws and set them aside for installation in Step 3.

2. Ensure the holes align.

3. Reinstall the four screws removed in Step 1.

3.1.2 Attach Base

1. Lay the pole assembly on a table or flat surface. Ensure the base block is hanging over an edge.
2. Use a 3 mm hex key to remove the four screws installed in the base block. Set screws aside for installation in Step 5.
3. Locate the alignment slot (center left) and alignment hole (center right).
4. Locate guide pins in base plate.
5. Install the base plate by inserting the guide pins into the alignment slot and alignment hole from Figure 3-4, using the four screws removed in Step 2 with the 3 mm hex wrench.

3.1.3 Attach Display

1. Using a 2 mm hex key, remove the pre-installed hex screw from the pole assembly display bracket.
2. Secure the display mount to the pole assembly display bracket using the previously removed screw.
3. Locate the display cover plate and a #1 Phillips screw in a separate plastic bag.
4. Plug the USB display cable into the mini USB port.
5. Route the USB display cable into the cable slot and replace the display cover by placing it over the cable and installing the #1 Phillips screw.

3.1.4 Attach Scanning Head

1. Locate the cables extending from the upper pole opening. Cables include power, Ethernet, USB 1 and USB 2. NOTE: Cables should extend approximately 6 in. If cables require adjustment, carefully pull cable through the upper arm. Extra cable length is available.
2. Remove the rear cover from the scanning head by loosening and removing the three small Phillips screws of the cover. See Step 9 on page 14 for instructions on how to reinstall the Phillips screws.
3. Loosen the three mounting screws so the screws are .25 in from the spacer plate.
4. Insert the cables from the upper pole assembly through the cable slot on the rear enclosure.
5. Line up the mounting screws with the keyholes in the pole assembly. Insert the screws through the pole wall and seat them all the way down into the keyholes.
6. Ensure that the heads of the mounting screws are seated properly in keyholes. The plastic spacer block top surface should be parallel with the top surface of the pole.
7. Use the 3 mm hex key and tighten the screws. Ensure the scanning head remains parallel with the pole while tightening.
8. Secure cable connections from the pole assembly to the scanning head (Table 3-1).
