4.3. Corrosion Link
The corrosion link
(Fig. 16) provides braking for
the system and an internal
encoder connected to the
wheels. A connection plug
exists for index encoding.
A mounting point for the frame
bar is also provided.
The corrosion link length can
be adjusted to increase the
scanner diameter range and
allow for probe clearance.
4.4. Non-Encoded Corro-
sion Link
The non-encoded corrosion
link (Fig. 17) provides braking
for the system.
A mounting point for the frame
bar is also provided.
The corrosion link length can
be adjusted to increase the
scanner diameter range and
allow for probe clearance.

4.4.1. Corrosion link adjustment
To achieve the minimum diameter pipe/tube scan range of 10.2 cm (4 in), the
corrosion link and non-encoded corrosion link must be adjusted as follows.
NOTE: The large yoke of the heavy duty probe holder must be replaced with
the standard yoke to allow the carrier to fit under the corrosion links (see
Yoke Substitution on page 16).
1. Use the supplied 2 mm hex driver
to remove the 2 shoulder screws
(Fig. 18).
2. With the 2 shoulder screws
removed, position the two halves
of the corrosion link closer
together, align the screw holes
and insert the shoulder screws
(Fig. 19).
3. Tighten the 2 shoulder screws
with the supplied 2 mm hex driver
(Fig. 20).

4.4.2. Mounting a Frame Bar
Ensure the two black wing knobs are loose (Fig. 21). Slide the frame bar along
the dovetail nuts of the corrosion link (Fig. 21). When the frame bar is positioned
where appropriate, tighten the two black wing knobs (Fig. 22).
4.4.3. Index Encoder Connection
The index encoder connection (Fig. 23) is
located along the side of the corrosion
link. The cable from the PPS encoder
(see Index Encoder on page 18)
connects to this point.
4.4.4. Encoder Connection
The encoder connection (Fig. 24) is
located at the rear of the corrosion link.
The encoder cable connects here. The
opposite end of the encoder cable
connects to the user’s instrument.

4.4.5. Brake
The red lever on both the corrosion and
non-encoded corrosion links 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.
4.4.6. Wheel Removal/Installation
Tightly grip the wheel to be removed
by hand. Loosen the wheel from the
axle using the supplied 3 mm hex driver
(Fig. 14).

WARNING! MAGNETIC MATERIAL. The magnetic wheel
kit produce a magnetic eld which may cause failure or permanent
damage to items such as watches, memory devices, CRT
monitors, medical devices or other electronics. People with
pacemakers or ICD’s must stay at least 25 cm (10 in) away.

4.5. Carrier
With the use of a leadscrew, the carrier can move along the length of the frame bar.
1. Loosen the leadscrew clamp knob (Fig. 27) to allow carrier movement along the
frame bar.
2. Press the latch on the carrier handle to position the carrier to the next index
location (Fig. 28).
4.5.1. Carrier Cable Clip
1. Push the cable clip flap down (Fig. 29) to insert the necessary cables and
hoses (Fig. 30).

4.5.2. Index Nuts
The index nuts (Fig. 31) along the frame
bar oer index positions during scans.
The arrow found on the carrier’s
handle references the arrow on the
corresponding index nut.
Align the arrows using the ruler to set the
desired spacing.
NOTE: The index nuts can be
repositioned, and placement
of the index nuts works in
conjunction with common
probe specifications. Excessive
adjustment of the index nuts is not
recommended.

4.6.1. Probe Holder Setup
1. Loosen the probe holder adjustment knob (Fig. 34) and mount the heavy
duty vertical probe holder’s dovetail jaw to the carrier.
2. The vertical adjustment knob (Fig. 35) allows the heavy duty vertical probe
holder’s height adjustment. This adjustment also controls the probe
holder’s spring tension.

3. Loosen the probe holder adjustment knob and remove the outer probe
holder arm (Fig. 36).
4. Loosen the arm clamp screw (Fig. 37).
5. Place the wedge on the pivot button of the inner probe holder arm (Fig. 37).
6. Align the middle of the wedge with the centre of the yoke (Fig. 38).
7. Tighten both the probe holder adjustment knob and the arm clamp screw
(Fig. 39) while ensuring the wedge remains centred with the yoke.
4.6.2. Probe Holder Vertical Adjustment
1. Gently lift the heavy duty probe holder and simultaneously pull the latch
(Fig. 40). This action will unlock the probe holder. Slowly lower the probe
holder towards the scan surface (Fig. 41).

4.6.3. Probe Holder Left/Right Conversion
1. Using the supplied 3 mm driver, unscrew the yoke (Fig. 42).
2. Position the yoke and arms on the opposite side of the probe holder
(Fig. 43).
3. Loosen the arm clamp screw and the probe holder arm adjustment knob
allowing removal of the probe holder arms (Fig. 44).
4. Position the removed arms to the opposite sides of the yoke (Fig. 45).
