CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Product information
1.1.1. Intended use
The ROTIX chain scanner is a manually operated scanner which provides encoded
probe positions of two or four probes. The double wheel chain components straddle
the weld and fasten a scanning frame circumferentially around pipe or tubing.
1.1.2. Performance specications
Minimum Maximum
Pipe/Tube range (2 Probe) 10.1 cm (4 in) 96.5 cm (38 in)
Pipe/Tube range (4 Probe) 11.4 cm (4.5 in) 96.5 cm (38 in)
Umbilical length (Standard kit) 5 m (16.4 in)
X-Axis encoder resolution 9.05 counts/mm (230.0 counts/inch)
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, water tight (not submersible).
1.2. Denition of symbols
Instructions to ‘look here’ or to ‘see this part’.
Denotes movement. Instructing user to carry out
action in a specied 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 sufcient for all typical operations and adjustments
of the ROTIX. The 3/8 in wrench (Fig. 2) is used to remove and install buttons on
the probe holders.
1.3.2. Optional tools
Some specialized adjustments require tools that are not included with this kit.
1.3.3. 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. 10). 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.

CHAPTER 3
OPERATION
3.1. Setup of Rotix on a Scanning Surface
1. Determine the diameter of the
pipe or tube to be scanned.
Included in the ROTIX kit and in
this manual, are two setup
charts which indicate the
number of links required based
on the diameter of the pipe or
tubing (Fig. 19). Refer to the
appropriate chart based on the
number of probes to be used
when scanning.
2. Assemble the appropriate conguration to the frame bar (Fig. 20). Install the
wedge and probes that will be used (see Slip Joint Probe Holder on page 17).
TIP: The following example is a four probe conguration
for a 30.4 cm (12 in) pipe diameter.
Fig. 19 - Refer to setup chart
Fig. 20 - Assemble conguration

PAGE 9 of 42 CE0120 Rev 03.4
3. On a at surface, connect the appropriate number
of links (see Chain Connection on page 16) as
indicated on the ROTIX setup chart. Arrange the
link setup so the buckle and catch link will be 180°
opposite of the scanner body (Fig. 21).
TIP: Place the dovetail link 2nd in the chain after the
overhead adjustable link.
4. Ensure the wheel block with handle brakes are
locked (see Wheel Block with Handle on page 13).
5. Drape the congured assembly around pipe/tube to
be inspected (Fig. 22). Ensure the scanner’s double
wheel chain links straddle the weld.

6. Bring the buckle arm towards the catch link. Hook the buckle’s arm to the
middle axle of the catch link (Fig. 23). The buckle adjustment knob (Fig. 24-1)
may have to be loosened to allow arm to reach catch link (Fig. 24).
7. Rotate the buckle adjustment knob until the buckle’s lever can be pushed down
locking the buckle in place (Fig. 25). The tightness of the ROTIX on the pipe can
be adjusted using the buckle adjustment knob (Fig. 24-1).
TIP: If additional clearance is required, the buckle’s ratchet lever can be pulled out
and rotated to various positions (see Ratchet Lever on page 16).

8. Route all cabling and hoses (Only encoder cable shown) to the the zipper tube
(see Cable Management System on page 23).
9. Lower probe holders to the scan surface (see Slip Joint Probe Holder on
page 17).
10. Release the brakes on the wheel blocks with handle to commence scanning
(see Wheel Block with Handle on page 13).

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
4.1. Overhead Adjustable Link
The overhead adjustable link
provides clearance for probes
and wedges.
When low prole scanning is
required, the ratchet lever is
adjustable.
Loosen the rachet handle
(Fig. 27) and extend or retract
the link as required. Tighten
the rachet handle (Fig. 28).
(see Ratchet Lever on page 16)

4.2. Wheel Block with Handle
The wheel block provides stability and braking to the ROTIX system.
The ratchet lever located on the wheel block with handle operates the brake.
Install the wheel block with handle by loosening the black wing knob and sliding the
wheel block with handle’s dovetail nut onto the frame bar (Fig. 29). Tighten the black
wing knob (Fig. 30).
4.2.1. Wheel Removal/Installation
Tightly grip the wheel to be re-
moved by hand. Using the supplied
3 mm hex driver (Fig. 1), loosen the
wheel from the axle.
TIP: When the brake is engaged
and the scanner is moved, this
may loosen the wheels from
the axle. Grip the wheel tightly
and retighten the axle with the
3 mm hex driver.
NOTE: The trailing encoder can NOT be mounted to the wheel block with handle
when the diameter of the scan surface is less than 30.4 cm (12 in).

4.3. Double Chain Mount
The double chain mount provides a connection point for links.
Loosen the double chain mount’s dovetail jaw using the black wing knob (Fig. 32).
Secure the double chain mount to the frame bar by tightening the black wing knob.
(Fig. 33).
The lower hole of the double chain mount is used to connect the chain during 2
probe scanning. When scanning with 4 probes (requiring 2 overhead adjustable links),
always connect the overhead adjustable links to the top holes of the double chain
mount.
4.4. Cable Clips
Clips have been provided to assist with cable management. Simply pinch the clip
an and press it into the dovetail groove of the frame bar.

4.5. Trailing Encoder
The spring loaded encoder wheel provides vertical travel while maintaining
contact pressure to the scan surface. To install the encoder follow these steps:
1. Loosen the encoder’s dovetail jaw and mount to the frame bar (Fig. 36).
2. Tighten the encoder knob (Fig. 37).
3. Spring tension maintains encoder contact with the scan surface (Fig. 38).
NOTE: The trailing encoder can NOT be mounted to the wheel block with handle
when the diameter of the scan surface is less than 30.4 cm (12 in).
4.6. Frame Bar
Frame bars (Fig. 39) are used to mount
probe holders, probe positioning
systems and other accessories (see
Frame Bars on page 40).
Frame bars are available in a variety of
lengths.
4.7. Pivot Buttons
Available in a variety of shapes and
sizes tting various wedge dimensions.
Use the supplied 3/8 in wrench (Fig. 2) to
remove and install pivot buttons (Fig. 40).
