Installation and maintenance Mounting the bracket A pre-mounted hanging bracket is provided, with screwknobs at both sides of the scanner. This bracket can be used to install the unit to a fixed structure, such as a T-bar or truss. Installing the scanner in a hanging position When you wish to hang the scanner against a wall, ceiling or beam, make sure to use proper installation tools and let a skilled technician install the scanner for you.
The mirror and lens can be cleaned with a non-aggressive glass cleaning solution, but is not recommended. Ayra recommends to clean the mirror and lens with a fine brush, while removing dust and/or dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Do not touch the mirror and lens with your fingers, as this may cause fingerprints which are harder to remove. Checkup To prevent dangerous situations, make sure your fixture is in optimal condition before using it.
