Magnet Spacing
The
Magg™ 480 vehicle uses two very powerful permanent magnet modules to adhere the vehicle to a
wall or pipe. In order to change the magnetic adhesion force, the spacing of the magnets away from the
driving surface can be changed by rotating the height adjustment screws (4x M8 HEX BOLTS) by a full
turn at a time, in a star pattern across the four corners.
•
Tighten the screws
clockwise
to increase the height and
decrease the magnetic force
.
•
Loosen the screws
counterclockwise
to decrease the height and
increase the magnetic force
.
If the vehicle is being driven inside a pipe, the magnets should be lowered to account for the specific pipe
diameter. All situations are unique and thorough testing should be done to make sure the vehicle will
remain adhered to the wall in all situations before inspections are undertaken.
Conversely, the magnets should be raised if driving on the exterior of a pipe. Again, thorough testing for
adherence is recommended prior to a full inspection.
The minimum pipe diameters for both internal and external driving is estimated at 2 m (80 in).
