Welcome to your new Cintel scanner!

The first thing to do before you can get started using your scanner is to unpack and securely mount your scanner to a stable surface, or against a wall. Mounting holes are located on your scanner’s base, under the feet, for added stability when mounting to a desk. Mounting holes are also located on the back panel so you can firmly mount your scanner to a dedicated wall mount.

After opening your scanner’s road case, you will see that spaces have been cut in the foam padding to give you a sturdy grip on your scanner.

Please note that Cintel weighs over 60kg, or 130 pounds, and is clearly too heavy to be unpacked by one person. You will need to make sure that all lifting is performed by 2 people using correct lifting techniques, such as bending your knees, keeping a straight back and lifting with careful, controlled movements.

Once you have gently removed your scanner from its road case, place it upright on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting its weight.

Desk Mounting

For added stability, you can secure your scanner to your work surface using the mounting holes in your scanner’s feet. To do this, you’ll need to drill two holes through your desk or work surface so you can insert two M6 safety bolts and screw them into the mounting holes under your scanner’s feet. This will hold your scanner firmly to the surface and prevent it from moving

When desk mounted, you can securely fasten your scanner to your work surface by screwing M6 safety bolts into your scanner’s feet.

NOTE Your safety is important to us and we strongly advise reading the warning information on the following page before mounting your Cintel scanner.

Wall Mounting

Cintel’s elegant industrial design and narrow profile make it ideal for wall mounting.

To do this, the first thing you’ll need to do is remove the feet and support strut from the base of your scanner.

1. Place your scanner face up with its feet over the edge of a solid, stable surface capable of supporting your scanner’s weight.

2. Unscrew the pair of M8 screws from each foot using a 6mm hex key, then gently remove the feet.

3. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the support strut between the feet. Store the support strut in a safe place together with your scanner’s feet so you can always reattach them later if you need to relocate your scanner.

Your scanner’s desk mount feet and support strut can be removed if you want to mount your scanner to a wall.

The locations of the four M8 mounting screws on your scanner’s back panel are shown below. Be sure to use M8 screws when securing your scanner to a wall mount. The M8 screws should not exceed 25mm in length.

Warning for Safely Installing your Scanner

The Cintel Scanner weighs up to 70kg, or 155 pounds, when loaded with film. This is significantly heavier than a large screen television. If you are unsure of the structural capability of the wall or desk to support the total weight of the scanner and film loaded then you must obtain the advice of a qualified engineer to correctly analyze the mounting to ensure safety. Incorrect installation will result in the scanner falling which could cause serious injury or death.

When desk mounting the scanner, and especially when working underneath your scanner to install the desk mounting screws, ensure that your work surface is flat and stable. Mounting brackets and fixings must be of sufficient strength to securely support your scanner’s weight. If your work surface is incapable of supporting the scanner’s weight, or loses strength over time, your scanner may fall, possibly causing serious personal injury.

When wall mounting the scanner, ensure that the installation location is strong enough to support long term use. If its strength becomes insufficient over the course of long term use, the scanner may drop, possibly causing injury. Do not install in places which are unable to bear loads. Mounting brackets and fixings must be of sufficient strength to securely support the scanner’s weight. If the strength of the installation surface is insufficient, the scanner may fall down and personal injury may result.

Desk or wall mounting your scanner must be undertaken by more than one person. Do not attempt installation on your own.
