Laser angle adjustment
The laser angle can be adjusted if it has been knocked from the correct offset position for indicating
the position of defects in the software.
To correct:
1.
Turn on the laser.
2.
Perform a Freescan on a reference plate with the indication on the top side.
3.
Stop the scan and then pull the system back, whilst it is still in contact with the plate, until the
software shows the laser position line over the 20% defect.
4.
Using the two adjustment screws on the laser module set the pitch and yaw of the laser line to
be adjusted so that it is parallel to the back wheels and is at the correct position over the defect
to match the position displayed on the tablet.
WARNING LASER
Do not deliberately look or stare into the laser beam. Avoid accidental exposure to eyes.

Scanning Head
Cleaning
To avoid deterioration in the detection capability, the scanner head should be kept reasonably free
from accumulations of ferromagnetic debris. The best way to clean the scanner head is to switch the
magnets to the off position. Most magnetic debris will fall away when the magnets are switched off.
If necessary, a scraper or cloth may be used to further clean the head.
The system should be wiped cleaned before returning to the transit cases. If the system is to be stored,
moisture and dirt should be wiped away from the system. A vacuum cleaner is also an excellent option
for removing ferrous material.
The system may be cleaned in general with a damp cloth. The wheels should be cleaned with a damp
cloth after an inspection to avoid residual tank product attacking the rubber whilst the system is left
in storage.
Consumables/Spares
Main Wheels
The main wheels on the scanner head will wear and accumulate debris over time, with use. Large
pieces of engrained debris can be removed using a scraper, being careful to avoid damage to the tire.
Replacement wheels and fixing screws can be ordered and installed by users. Each wheel may be
replaced by removing the four fixing screws. When a new wheel is installed a new set of fixing screws
with pre applied thread locking should be used to ensure they do not come loose with vibration.
Contact an Eddyfi service center for spare parts and an instructional video of how to replace the
wheels.
Cover plate
The cover or wear plate on the underside of the scanning head bridge must be always installed when
the system is being used. Should the wear plate become worn or suffer an impact that causes a
significant indentation, it may be replaced. The wear plate can be replaced by removing the fixing
screws, removing the wear plate, then replacing with a new wear plate and new thread locking
screws. Care should be taken when reinstalling the fixing screws so that they are not overtightened.
Overtightening can bend the wear plate reducing the obstacle clearance capability of the system.
