Overview 15
To avoid injury, use caution when handling the magnetic wheels; the magnetic pull of
the wheels is strong and could cause bodily harm—for example, a finger pinched
between two wheels, or between a wheel and a steel surface.
Probe holders
The probe holders are used to secure the probes. The probe-holder position is
adjustable. The probe holders are also spring-loaded to ensure a proper contact
between the probes and the surface to be inspected.
Water manifold
Four tubes branch out from one main water-entry point to supply the wedges
with water couplant.
Encoder
A wheel encoder measures the scanner displacement to determine the position on
the scan axis.
The encoder is waterproof and compatible with the OmniScan unit. The encoder
is also spring-loaded to ensure that it remains in contact with the inspection
surface, with adequate pressure for different pipe diameters.
Safety attachment ring
This ring can be used to secure the scanner with a safety hook (see Figure 1-3 on
page 16). If the scanner is equipped with an umbilical cable, this cable can be
attached to the ring to prevent overtensioning of the probe cables.
Umbilical bracket
An umbilical bracket is supplied with the scanner for quick attachment of a cable
bundle wrapped with a divisible shell (see “Attaching the Umbilical Cable” on
page 23).
