Introduction
Safety when operating
This product has been designed, manufactured and tested according to
international safety standards. The following general safety precautions must be
observed during all phases of operation to ensure safe operation of the D SCAN
AUTHENTICATOR CF. Cross Match Technologies GmbH assumes no liability
for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
• When operating, the electrical installation and cabling must comply with the IEC
60950 standard.
• The power supply must be provided by an certified power supply unit with an output
voltage of 18 - 24 V DC. The electric current range of the power supply unit must be
min. 1 A and max. 7A. Use the desktop power pack which is provided with the
product package.
• To connect the document reader to a computer, use a shielded USB data cable as
supplied with the reader.
• The device must be operated only in a dry room. Exclude any condensation.
• The environmental temperature range is 41 °F to 113 °F (+5 °C to +45 °C).
Caution Do not open the device. Repairs are only allowed by Cross Match Technologies. Changes
or modifications not expressly approved by Cross Match Technologies could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
• Whenever it is likely that the electrical protection has been compromised, the device
and system must be made unplugged and secured against unauthorized use.
• Do not apply mechanical stress to the document contact area. Do not throw heavy
objects onto it. The platen is made of glass and might be destroyed if not handled
properly. A broken platen might have sharp edges, which could cause injuries.
• Do not scratch the document contact area. The platen is vulnerable to sharp metallic
instruments (knives, scissors), extremely hard objects (diamonds) and also dust.
Scratches may reduce the image quality and thereby lead to scanning results below
the required quality specification.
• Always keep the document contact area clean. Use the recommended glass cleaner
and lint-free tissue for cleaning. Do not use oily or abrasive cleaners since they might
affect the platen surface quality.
• Do not pour liquids (water etc.) onto the D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR CF. The device
is protected against cleaning with a damp cloth or tissue, however, it is not
waterproof.
Warning Do not look directly into the lights of the document contact area. Maintain a required
minimum distance of not less than 0.3 meters.
