2.2 Void Scanner Wi-Fi box
The Void Scanner Wi-Fi box houses a rechargeable battery and wireless module. It negates the need for a separate
battery pack, power cable, PC data cable and interface box.
The Void Scanner Wi-Fi box can be used with the Void Scanner to allow personnel to retreat further from the unsafe
or inaccessible area which is being scanned. The Void Scanner may be attached to a boom that is extended into
the unsafe area, or placed on an unmanned vehicle that is remotely driven into the unsafe area. For more details
on attaching the Void Scanner to deployment devices, see the Void Scanner hardware manual. Scanning operations
can then continue without having to route a data cable or power cable to the scan site. The operator can be situated
in a safe area over 50 m away, receiving scan data wirelessly on a PC.
The Void Scanner Wi-Fi box connects to the Void Scanner probe via the standard 13.6 m power/data cable, or via
the 1.5 m power/data cable supplied with the Void Scanner Wi-Fi box. Connection to the PC is then via wireless
data communications so no cables are required between the Void Scanner Wi-Fi box and the PC.
Once the PC connects to the Void Scanner system’s Wi-Fi network, the Void Scanner can be controlled from
Cavity

in exactly the same way as if it were connected to the probe with a cable.
The Void Scanner Wi-Fi box is compatible with all Void Scanner units from Mk3 onwards.
