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. 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 current IEC
60950-1 standard.
• The power supply must be provided by an certified power supply unit with an output
voltage of 12 V DC. The maximum electric current range of the power supply unit is 1.7
A.
Caution Use only the power supply unit delivered with the Authenticator.
• 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. The device is protected
against cleaning with a damp cloth or tissue, however, it is not waterproof.
