FloormapX System Overview
22
The bridge height is set by lifting the black collar below the height adjustment knob then moving the
lever to the required height position before releasing the collar to lock in place. The positions are
indicated on the scanning bridge by a
H
for high, and an
L
for low.
WARNING
A strong magnetic attraction exists between the scanning bridge and inspection surface.
Ensure the bridge is clear of the inspection surface or the magnets are set to the zero position
before adjusting the bridge height.
IMPORTANT
During an inspection if the bridge height position is changes, ensure the correct calibration is
used. A separate calibration is required at a low and a high scanning bridge position for the
same plate thickness.
Cable Ports
The color-coded ports at the top of the scanning head are for connecting the mainframe to the
scanning head. When viewing the system from the front the left-hand side port is colored orange and
is for the scanning head motorization. The right-hand side port is colored blue and is for the probe
cables.
NOTE
To avoid damage when assembling the FloormapX please ensure cables are attached after
the modules have been correctly assembled and verified as secure.
Cover Plate
The cover plate is located on the underside of the scanning head and provides protection to the MFL
sensor head, the two STARS sensor heads and magnetic bridge during an inspection. The cover plate
is secured by clips and bolts.
IMPORTANT
Always ensure cover plate is attached during use, failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.
Front Lights
At the front of the scanning head are two LED headlights which are operated using the Lighting
power button on the user control. The light can be switched off, then on and cycle through the
brightness settings until they are switched off.
NOTE
During a system power sequence, it is normal for the front headlights to flash.
HOT SURFACE
While hot temperatures are not expected when lit, care must be taken in this region when
touching the system.
Main Wheels
The scanner head has four wheels, the two rear wheels are motor driven and encoded, while the two
front wheels provide steering. The steering angle can be set using the steering knob on the user
control.
NOTE
The steering angle cannot be adjusted during a scan.
