3D Scanner Assembly
DART-SVP Source Rev 1: (SN: SVPS00XXX)
Figure 2: Placing the X-Rail into the Cradle
Using the 3mm Allen wrench, remove the three screws that attach the X-cradle to the base of the DART
SVP. Take the X-Rail and slide the non-motor end (end opposite the cable) into the cradle, making sure
that the front of the stage faces the screw holes.
Reference the Hardware and Network Installation Manual v2 manual to determine the exact placement of
the rail in the cradle as this procedure depends on the version and revision of the rail.
Using the 1.5mm Allen wrench, lock the rail into position by tightening the two set screws on the front of
the cradle. One the rail is placed back onto the DART these set screws will be inaccessible.

DART-SVP Source Rev 2: (SN: SVPS002XX)
The revision 2 DART-SVP source, pictured below, has an X-Rail Cradle but it is not removable from the
source baseplate. Simply place the linear rail directly into the cradle on the baseplate, and lock into place
using the two set screws.
As with the Rev 1 source, reference the Hardware and Network Installation Manual v2 to determine the
exact placement of the rail in the cradle.
Y-RAIL Installation:
Repeat the process to attach the Y-Rail to its cradle. Slide the non-motor end of the rail into the
housing, leaving it so the end of the rail is flush with the end of the cradle. Again, using the
1.5mm Allen wrench, tighten the set screws to lock the rail in place.

Place the block end of the Y-Rail on top of the X-Rail’s stage. Using four 2.5mm screws and the
2.5mm Allen wrench, secure the block onto the stage, aligning the Y-Rail so that the front piece
of the Y-rail’s stage faces the cradle. Tighten the two 1.5mm set screws on the back of the block
to finish attachment.

Figure 6: Secure the Y-Rail to the X- using a 2.5mm Allen wrench.

Pull the DART SVP source housing all of the way back from the mass spectrometer inlet and
remove the ceramic tube from the VAPUR interface. Supporting the rail assembly carefully,
place the cradle back into the space between the MS interface and DART, with the three screws
on the far side of the MS.

DART-SVP Source Rev 1: Loosen the two knobs on the back of the pillars holding the blue DART
source. Raise the DART source to its maximum height so that the 3+D sample tray can fit underneath it.
Loosen the knobs on the side of the DART and turn it downward three clicks so that it is now pointed
downward at a 45 degree angle. Tighten the knobs to lock it back into place.
Figure 9a and b: Rev 1 Source at maximum height and 45 degree angle
DART-SVP Source Rev 2: Attach the SVP-45A angle module to the DART source housing. Use the
spinning knob to adjust to the proper height.

Place the block of the sample tray on the Y-Rail stage and secure the top of the block using four 2.5mm
hex screws. Then, using a 1.5mm Allen wrench, tighten the two set screws on the back side of the rail.
This will hold the sample tray firmly in position.
Figure 11: Securing the Stage to the Y-Rail
Insert the longer ceramic tube into the VAPUR inlet, taking care to leave a 2mm gap between the end of
the ceramic tube and the API inlet.
Refer to the specific Vapur Flange Manual for the mass spec instrument being installed on for more
details.
