Electrical Auto Retract
9.6 Physical removal of the Borescope
If, for some reason, the retract system has failed
with the borescope still in the process, the slide will
be locked in position due to the operation of the fail-
safe brake.
As a last resort, the borescope can be removed from
the AR system by undoing the clamp and removing
the water jacket and camera. (Fig. 9-12).
WARNING
The water jacket will be full of water,
increasing its weight. Any water
escaping form the jacket can also
create steam when in contact with hot
surfaces!
9.7 NIR-B Camera status info in the IMAGEPro software
When the Borescope is installed and operating, the following points should be noted:
•
The thermal image obtained by the Borescope will be displayed in the IMAGEPro
software (Fig. 9-13).
Fig. 9-13
•
The thermocouple inside the probe measures the temperature at the end of the
probe. If the probe temperature gets too high, this could result in damage to the
probe/camera.
•
The thermocouple temperature alarm level is displayed in the status bar of the
IMAGEPro software
•
If the Thermocouple status displays an alarm, remove the borescope from the
process immediately.
•
If the thermocouple status shows a warning be prepared to remove the borescope
from the process.
In both cases, check the supply of cooling water to the probe (be sure to check
the temperature of the water and not just the flow rate). Depending on your
application, it may be necessary to provide a separate cooling water supply for
both the probe and the thermometer jacket.
