5. PIPESCAN SETUP
1. Adjust the head curvature to the desired diameter. Always make the initial adjustment away from the inspection
surface to ensure longevity of the curvature mechanism.
1.1
Adjustment using the gauge
included with the system: Place the gauge between the outer posts and tighten
until the posts touches the gauge. Repeat on the other side of the system.
1.2
Adjustment using a ruler
: If you can’t find the gauge or if the diameter needed is not on it, use a ruler and
adjust the system. The measurement must be taken between the outer posts, on each side of the system. Refer
to the table below for the adjustment details.
2. Place the scanner on the inspection surface and fine tune the fitting so that all the wheels rotate when being
pushed.
3. Ensure the encoder is making contact to the inspection surface.
4. Connect the umbilical to the Pipescan.
5. Connect the other end of the umbilical to the instrument.
