1.3. Hardware
1.3.1. Included tools
The 2 mm hex driver (Fig. 1) is
used for adjustment of the index
nuts.
The 3 mm hex driver (Fig. 2) is
sufcient for all typical operations
and adjustments of the ROTIX.
The 3/8 in wrench (Fig. 3) 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 ad-
justment screw on the buckle component (Fig. 49). 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 a Chain 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 is a setup chart (see
Chain Conguration Setup Chart on
page 3). This chart indicates
the number of links required
based on the diameter of the
pipe or tubing (Fig. 6).
TIP: The following example is a
conguration for a 26.6 cm
(10.5 in) pipe diameter.
2. Ensure the appropriate conguration is setup (Fig. 7). Install the wedge to be
used in the probe holder (see Probe Holder Setup on page 14).
Fig. 6 - Refer to setup chart
Fig. 7 - Assemble conguration

PAGE 7 of 32 CE0131 Rev 01.5
3. On a at surface, connect the
appropriate number of links (see
Chain Connection on page 19) as
indicated on the ROTIX setup chart.
Arrange the link setup with the buckle
and catch link 180° opposite of the
corrosion link (Fig. 8).
TIP: Place the dovetail link 2nd in
the chain (Fig. 9-2) after the
corrosion link.
4. Ensure the brake (Fig. 9-1) is activated
(see Brake on page 11).
5. Drape the congured assembly
around pipe/tube to be inspected
(Fig. 9).

6. Bring the buckle arm towards the catch link. Hook the buckle’s arm to the
middle axle of the catch link (Fig. 10). The buckle adjustment knob (Fig. 11-1)
may have to be loosened to allow arm to reach catch link (Fig. 11).
7. Rotate the buckle adjustment knob until the buckle’s lever can be pushed down
locking the buckle in place (Fig. 12). The tightness of the ROTIX on the pipe can
be adjusted using the buckle adjustment knob (Fig. 11-1).
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 19).

8. Route all cabling and hoses (Encoder cable and sample irrigation tube shown) to
the zipper tube (see Cable Management System on page 21).
9. Lower probe holders to the scan surface (see Probe Holder Setup on page 14).
10. Release the brake to commence scanning (see Brake on page 11).

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
4.1. Corrosion Link
The corrosion link provides
braking for the system as
well as an internal encoder
connected to the wheels. A
connection plug exists for index
encoding.
A mounting point for a frame
bar is also provided.
4.1.1. Mounting a Frame Bar
Loosen the two black wing knobs of the corrosion link (Fig. 15). Slide the frame
bar along the dovetail nuts of the corrosion link (Fig. 15). When the frame bar is
positioned where appropriate, tighten the two black wing knobs (Fig. 16).

PAGE 11 of 32 CE0131 Rev 01.5
4.1.2. Index Encoder Connection
The index encoder connection
(Fig. 17) is located along the side of the
corrosion link. The cable from the index
encoder (see Index Encoder on page 20)
connects to this point.
4.1.3. Encoder Connection
The encoder connection (Fig. 18) is
located at the rear of the corrosion link.
The encoder cable connects here. The
opposite end of the encoder cable con-
nects to the users instrument.
4.1.4. Brake
The red brake lever (Fig. 19) located
on the corrosion link provides braking
to the system. Press the lever down to
activate the brake.
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.
4.1.5. Wheel Removal/Installation
Tightly grip the wheel to be removed
by hand. Using the supplied 3 mm hex
driver (Fig. 2), loosen the wheel from the
axle (Fig. 20).

PAGE 12 of 32
4.1.6. Tail
The tail (Fig. 21) is a mounting point for
the buckle and chain links.
Use the supplied 3 mm hex driver to
install or remove the tail.
4.2. Carrier
With the use of a leadscrew, the carrier can move along the length of the frame bar.
1. Press the latch on the carrier handle to position the carrier to the next index
location (Fig. 22).
4.2.1. Carrier Cable Clip
1. Push the cable clip ap down (Fig. 23) and insert the necessary cables
and hoses (Fig. 24).

PAGE 13 of 32 CE0131 Rev 01.5
4.2.2. Index Nuts
The index nuts (Fig. 25) located along
the frame bar offer index positions
during scans. The arrow on each nut
conrms alignment with the ruler on the
frame bar.
NOTE: The index nuts can be
repositioned, placement
of the index nuts works in
conjunction with common probe
specications. Adjustment of the
index nuts is not recommended.

duty vertical probe holder’s dovetail jaw to the carrier.
2. The vertical adjustment knob (Fig. 29) allows the heavy duty vertical probe
holder’s height adjustment. This adjustment also controls the probe
holders spring tension.

3. Loosen the probe holder adjustment knob and remove the outer probe
holder arm (Fig. 30).
4. Loosen the arm clamp screw (Fig. 31).
5. Place the wedge on the pivot button of the inner probe holder
arm (Fig. 31).
6. Align the middle of the wedge with the centre of the yoke (Fig. 32).
7. Tighten both the probe holder adjustment knob and the arm clamp screw
(Fig. 33) while ensuring the wedge remains centred with the yoke.
4.3.2. Probe Holder Vertical Adjustment
1. Gently lift the heavy duty vertical probe holder and simultaneously pull the
latch (Fig. 34). This action will unlock the probe holder. Slowly lower the
probe holder towards the scan surface (Fig. 35).
