ALPHA3D USER MANUAL | 2019-06 P a g e | 5 1.4 Disclaimer Reading Tips Client needs to use and maintain the instrument as per CHCNAV requirements. If the instruments life is affected even broken because of customers incorrect operation &
maintenance, CHCNAV will not assume the relevant responsibilities and all maintenance services will be charged at standard rates. Client needs to provide stable vehicle roof rack based on special technical parameters. If the instrument is broken or damaged because of other reasons, CHCNAV will not assume all relevant consequences and responsibilities. During transit, if the instrument is damaged because of logistics company, CHCNAV will not assume relevant responsibilities. During using process, if the instrument is damaged because of self-assembly or self-
disassembly operations without CHCNAV support, CHCNAV will not assume all relevant responsibilities. Customer needs to use original battery and accessories for Alpha3D. If customer uses non-dedicated battery or charger, it may cause accidents for example explosion and burning. CHCNAV will not assume relevant responsibilities if client uses non-dedicated accessories, and the warranty qualification will become invalid. ALPHA3D USER MANUAL | 2019-06 P a g e | 6 User Guide 2 User Guide 2.1 Operation Environment Not recommend using on rainy day, snowy day and foggy day for security and more noise points reasons. Not recommend using on a dusty environment as it will reduce instruments lifetime. Do not put instrument and accessories under extreme temperature. The environment temperature should not lower or higher than specific temperature. When client moves instrument from cold environment to much warm environment, water may condense on some inside components. To avoid such situation, please put instrument under sealed plastic first before moving. After the condensed water evaporates, then start Alpha3D. 2.2 Attentions Before Using Check whether the laser optical glass cover is normal. The instrument needs to be cleaning if there is dust. Check whether all ports are cleaning, and whether stitches are distorted. Check whether all connected cables are stable and confirm GNSS cable is no curving and broken. Check whether battery power is enough for requirement. 2.3 Attentions When Using Please ensure all cables are connected to correct ports based on one by one check to avoid mistake. Do not insert or extract cables forcibly. After the instrument is powered, check whether wireless & wired network and laser network are connected normally. (Detailed steps please see Hardware Operation Instruction) The instrument should put at an open & good signal place when start work. Check whether GPS satellites signal is normal. If buzzer is not ringing properly after startup or during data capture process, please check whether instrument is normal immediately. Check the rest volume of SSD drive before data capture start. If rest volume less than 10%
or not enough for this times requirement, please delete laser data files in advance. Check whether the protection cover of laser scanner is take down before data capture. ALPHA3D USER MANUAL | 2019-06 P a g e | 7 Check whether the indicator light of Ladybug camera is orange after powered on. User Guide 2.4 Attentions After Using After work finished, turn off laser on CoCapture first, then turn off battery and remove power cable. Finally put instrument and all accessories into case. Please move case carefully during transit and do not bump. The battery box should be turn off.

ALPHA3D USER MANUAL | 2019-06 P a g e | 17 Product Overview Notice: There are four frequently used PRR: 300KHz, 500KHz, 750KHz and 1000KHz. For example, If scanner works as 300KHz: when the object reflectivity 10%, the maximum measuring range is only 150m; And when the object reflectivity 80%, the maximum measuring range is 420m. So, it can be concluded that both PRR and object reflectivity will influence the maximum measuring range. When you use high PRR for scanning such as 750KHz and 1000Khz, the maximum measuring range is highly influenced by battery level: When scanner works as 750KHz and object reflectivity80%, the maximum measuring range is 270m under full charged condition but only 135m under low charged condition; When scanner works as 1000KHz and object reflectivity80%, the maximum measuring range is 235m under full charged condition but only 120m under low charged condition. 3.4.2 High-precision IMU Orientation accuracy Attitude accuracy Positioning accuracy Heading error Data updating rate Weight 0.01 0.005 1cm 0.03 600HZ 140g ALPHA3D USER MANUAL | 2019-06 P a g e | 18 3.4.3 G5ant-3AT1 Antenna Product Overview Frequency Range Horizental Coverage Angle Phase Center Error Working Voltage Working Current Working Temperature Weight GPS L1/L2 GLONASS L1/L2 BDS B1/B2/B3 360 2mm 2.524VDC 50mA

ALPHA3D USER MANUAL | 2019-06 P a g e | 32 Battery Container Overview 4.2 Functional Specification 4.2.1 Orange Container Function 4.2.1.1 Orange Container Light Condition When orange container is turn off, long-press switch button until buzzer sounds and display screen shows battery information; Again, long-press switch button until buzzer sounds, and orange container will turn off. If orange container is not used for a long time, it is recommended to turn off it manually. Otherwise, it will turn off automatically after half hour under light condition. 4.2.1.2 Orange Container Discharge Condition The orange container will turn on automatically when it loads greater than 0.5A current and the display screen will present battery information. Under load condition, the switch button cannot work. 4.2.1.3 Orange Container Charge The orange container is equipped with a 13.8V 7.2A battery charger for charge. It will turn on automatically when it connects to charger with greater than 0.5A current and the display screen will present battery information. Under charge condition, the switch button cannot work. When charger light changes from red to green and charge current is 0A, it means the battery is full charged. 4.2.1.4 Orange Container Communication The orange container supports RS485 communication function which can transfer battery information to controller unit and present under power-on condition. 4.2.1.5 Orange Container Low Voltage Alarm Under power-on condition, the orange container will continuously alarm if voltage below 10.5V.

Software Overview ALPHA3D USER MANUAL | 2019-06 P a g e | 86 Alpha3D Operation Quick Guide 6 Alpha3D Operation Quick Guide 6.1 Pre-Requirement for Installation In order to install and use Alpha3D, the following requirements must be covered:
For safety, at least 2 persons to lift and mount the unit. A vehicle with roof bar to assemble system. A base station to post-processing data. 6.2 Operation Steps First, assemble extension with roof bar which above the vehicle and then mount Alpha3D system, detailed steps please check Part 3.6.1. Make sure all screws are tightened and then remove the protective cap of laser scanner. Second, use power cable to connect Alpha3D and battery box. Plug one cable side into DC24 interface and another side into battery power output interface. Press controller box button to switch on battery. Third, set a base station at a known point and start static mode which used to post-process trajectory. Notice, if you use CORS data as base here, this step can ignore but the final data accuracy is depending on the length of base line. Fourth, park vehicle in an open sky area and long-press button to power on system. After WiFi is connected, using CoCapture to start work. Detailed steps please check Part 5.1.4. Notice: Before start scanning, the IMU system needs both static and kinematic alignments. First is do a static alignment: Click NEW PROJECT in CoCapture to start record time. Keep both car and system as stable for 5 minutes to make a proper static alignment. Then, take a 3 minutes figure-eight route driving to make a proper kinematic alignment. Finally, click START to capture laser data two minutes before entering scanning area. Similarly, both static and kinematic alignments are also needed when scanning finished, but the order is different: take another 3 minutes figure-eight route driving first and finally keep stable for another 5 minutes. Finally, when work is finished, mount protective cap first for safety. Then, disassemble battery cable, unit and roof rack extension in order. Make sure all accessories are kept in container.
