This manual explains techniques for setting up and using the Cyberware Whole Body scanning system. It is assumed that you have read the Scanner Operating Manual and are familiar with the operation of your computer.

| Whole Body Scanner |
The Whole Body (Model WBX) digitizer is roughly rectangular in shape. It requires an absolute minimum area of 300 cm tall × 270 cm wide × 240 cm deep (120" × 110" × 100"). A location should be chosen that will allow the operator at least enough room to walk around the platform for safety checks.
The platform itself is very heavy, 300 Kg (661 pounds), so that accuracy is maintained. It provides a steady place for the subject as the scanning heads pass across the subject at a constant speed. It should be placed on a solid floor to ensure accurate measurements. A soft, yielding floor may allow movement or vibration which will result in inaccurate measurements. Padded carpets may need to have holes cut to allow the platform feet to contact the unyielding sub-floor.
The cables from the scanner's power supply to the host computer are 2 m (6') in length, so you need to choose a location that will allow the cables to be laid in an untraveled area and so that the computer may be situated very near to the scanner.
One electrical outlet will be needed within 1.5 m (5') of the power supply; a filtering type power strip is highly recommended. The digitizer heads do not have their own power cords; power to the laser and motors is supplied by the scanner's power supply. The scanner requires a very stable and continuous supply of electricity. Care should be taken to ensure that the scanner receives optimal electrical current with a minimum of fluctuation in voltage, even under load. An additional electrical outlet is also necessary for the operation of the host computer.
There may be occasions when you will want to move the digitizer a short distance for purposes of floor cleaning, redecorating, or rearranging the room. If you do plan to move the digitizer, be aware that the platform is heavy (300 Kg / 661 Lbs) and should be moved only if the scanning heads are in the Service Position. Just before you move the platform, check to see that all cables are disconnected and that none will be stepped upon or crushed during the move. If you have the need to move the system over a large distance, please contact Cyberware Support for specific instructions.
