INTRODUCTION
The WAND ECHO is an extension
coil designed to allow measurement of
sensors under insulation and cladding.
The round sensing end is applied
directly over a pre-installed sensor and
the square measurement end is applied
on top of cladding for measurement
with the standard WAND probe.
An ECHO is usually associated with
a number, eg ECHO 45. where the
number relates to the cable length of
the device.
EQUIPMENT
The list below details all items required for installation of the WAND ECHO.
- Pre-installed/coated WAND sensor
- WAND ECHO
- Gloves (size L and XL)
- Sand paper (grit 240)
- IPA wipes

allows the activation point for WAND sensors to be offset
to accommodate bulky insulation or cladding layers or to
simplify monitoring of hard to access locations.
- Permanent marker
- Adhesive tab

INSTALLATION
1. Locate the sensor over which the ECHO is
to be installed, removing any covering insulation
and cladding to expose the surface of the sensor.
Lightly sand the coating and surrounding area
of the sensor and clean thoroughly with the
supplied IPA wipe.
2. Position the ECHO sensing (round) end over
the sensor, use the WAND probe to determine
the location with greatest signal strength. Mark
this position using a marker pen.
3. Before proceeding to adhere the ECHO
sensor in place, check that the marked position
allows for the ECHO cable to exit any covering
cladding/insulation with minimal twisting and
bending.
4. Apply an adhesive tab to the reverse side of
the ECHO sensing end, peel off the backing and
adhere over the sensor, following the marker
lines.
5. Remove the paper backing from the UHB tape disc and apply over the
top of the ECHO sensor. Press rmly to ensure that a good seal is formed
around the ECHO.
6. Select an appropriate location for the ECHO measurement (square) end,
ensuring that there is enough slack in the cable to allow repositioning of any
insulation or cladding on top.
7. Lightly sand and clean the selected location to remove any surface
contamination which may hinder adhesion.
8. Remove backing paper from the ECHO measurement end and adhere in
the selected location.
9. Apply the second UHB tape rectangle over the top of the square end of
the ECHO.
10. Take a test measurement using the WAND data collector to ensure
good signal strength and RFID reading.

Figure 2: The ECHO 45 in the process of being installed. In this case
the ECHO is being used to extend the WAND reading location to the
outside of a thick layer of insulation and to offer a more convenient
access point. Using the ECHO in this way can signiicantly reduce the
risk of secondary corrosion under insulation
Figure 3: ECHO fully installed with the metal clad
inslulation layer reapplied. Note the RFID tag co-located
with the ECHO activation pad.
Installing an RFID
The RFID must be applied relative to
the ECHO measurement coil in an
orientation which allows detection by
the WAND probe.
In order to ensure detection, position
the RFID tag up against one edge of
the ECHO measurement coil, so that
it is below the coil when read using
the WAND probe, as shown in g.3.
