INTRODUCTION
1.1. Product information
1.1.1. Intended use
The ROTIX nozzle scanner is a manually operated chain scanning system. Its primary
purpose is to move an ultrasonic probe circumferentially around pipe nozzles and to
provide encoded positional information, encoded probe positional information and
encoded skew information.
1.1.2. Performance specifications
Minimum Maximum
Nozzle Range 7.6 cm (3 in) 60 cm (24 in)
Umbilical Length (Standard Kit) 5 m (16.4 in)
X-Axis Encoder Resolution 16.3 counts/mm (414.5 counts/inch)
Y-Axis Encoder Resolution (Slider PPS) 161.3 counts/mm (4096.0 counts/inch)
Skew Encoder Resolution 2.84 counts/deg
1.1.3. Operating environment
The ROTIX chain scanner is designed for use in an industrial environment that is
between -20° C (-4° F) and 50° C (122° F).
1.1.4. Environmental Sealing
Dust-tight, watertight (not submersible).
1.2. Definition of symbols
Instructions to ‘look here’ or to ‘see this part’
Denotes movement. Instructing user to carry out action
in a specified direction.
Indicates alignment axis
Alerts user that view has changed to a reverse angle

1.3. Hardware
1.3.1. Included tools
The 3 mm hex driver (Fig. 1) is sucient for all typical operations and adjustments
of the ROTIX. The 3/8 in wrench (Fig. 2) is used to remove and install pivot
buttons on the probe holders.
1.3.2. Maintenance
General cleaning of components is important to keep your system working
well. All components that have no wiring or cables are completely waterproof.
Components can be washed with warm water, dish soap and a medium bristle
brush.
After washing your system, use a light oil to lubricate the slide and the
adjustment screw on the buckle component (Fig. 11). Before using the scanner,
ensure all connectors are free of water and moisture.
NOTE: All components with wiring, cables or electrical connections are splash
proof. However, these components are NOT submersible.
NOTE: Never use strong solvents or abrasive materials to clean your scanner
components.
