Scanner Installation on the Inspection Surface
To install the scanner on the inspection surface, the scanner needs to be positioned,
and the mounting pods need to be attached to the surface. This section outlines the
procedures for the two types of mounting pod: suction-cup and magnetic pods.
2.3.1
Installing a Scanner with Suction-Cup Pods
The suction cups are used to hold the scanner against a smooth, non-ferromagnetic
surface.
To install a scanner with suction-cup pods
1.
Loosen the pivot locks on the two mounting pods (see Figure 2-37 on page 41).

2.
Place the scanner at the desired position on the inspection surface.
Ensure that good contact is made between the suction cup and the inspection
surface.
3.
Apply vacuum to the suction cups:
For manual-type cups, while applying a downward pressure on the scanner
with one hand, repeatedly squeeze the pump button with the other hand
until the suction cup is engaged and well-seated on the inspection surface
(see Figure 2-38 on page 42). Repeat this for the second pod.
