Understanding FARO Device Serial Numbers
Overview
Here is how to generally interpret the serial number for any FARO® device.
FaroArm®
Format: MLL-VA-YY-XXXXX
M - Model
LL - Length
V - Vertical
A - Configuration Code
YY - Manufacture Year
XXXXX - 5-Digit Serial Number
| M - Model | LL - Length | V - Vertical | A - Configuration Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| B = Bronze C = Advantage E = Edge F = Gage G = Gold L = Millennium N = Titanium P = Platinum Q = Legacy-Quantum R = Prime S = Silver T = Sterling U = Fusion W = Quantum Series A = Max X = Quantum X |
04 = 4 foot 06 = 6 foot 08 = 8 foot 10 = 10 foot 12 = 12 foot 15 = 1.5 meter 20 = 2.0 meter 25 = 2.5 meter 30 = 3.0 meter 35 = 3.5 meter 40 = 4.0 meter |
0 – Standard S – Quantum S M – Quantum M E – Quantum E D – Design (or Digital Template) C – Design (Color) N – Design (Monochrome) B – Bluetooth Gage L – Standard Gage P – Power Gage |
1 = (Non USB arms) 2 = 6-axis 4 = Inverted 6-axis 5 = 7-axis 6 = Inverted 7-axis |
Laser Line Probe (LLP) Serial Number
Format: LLPVVYYXXXXX
LLP - Product Identifier
VV - Vertical
YY - Manufacture Year
XXXXX - 5-Digit Serial Number
| VV – Vertical | XXXXX – 5 Digit Serial Number |
|---|---|
| DS – Edge DS H6 – FaroBluHD S6 – FaroBluSD C6 – Prizm 0R – FAROBlu xR 0P – FAROBlu xP 0S – FAROBlu xS 00 – Everything Else |
02034 – 03999 - V2 LLP 04000 – 06999 - V3 LLP 07000 – 10999 - V4 LLP 11000 – 15999 - LLP ES 16000 – 29999 - LLP/FaroBlu HD* 16000 – 29999 - FaroBlu SD* 30000 – 30000 - Prizm 40000 – 40000+ - xP, xR, xS, xE |
* Since these were manufactured during the same time period, these two models have the same serial number range. Please refer to the label on bottom of the handle for model identification.
8-Axis
Format: TA1-YY-XXXXX
T - Product Identifier
A - Configuration Code
YY - Manufacture Year
XXXXX - 5-Digit Serial Number

|---|
| F – Factory Metrology D – Design Vertical |
FARO Trackers
Vantage E & S Models
Format: FF000MYXXXXX
FF – Family
M – Model
Y – Last Digit of Manufacture Year
XXXXX – 5-Digit Serial Number
| Family | Model |

| V2 = Vantage E/S with built-in MCU | 1 = Vantage S (manufactured 2019 or earlier) |
| V3 = Vantage E6/S6 | 2 = Vantage S (manufactured 2020 or later) |
| 3 = All Vantage E |
Vantage and Ion Models
Format: MMM00YY0XXXX
MMM – Model
YY – Last Two Digits of Manufacture Year
XXXX – 4 Digit Serial Number
| Model |
|---|
