SYSTEM COMPONENTS

4.1. Component Identification

Tools

The 2 mm hex driver (Fig. 13) allows for adjustment of the index nuts. The 3 mm hex driver (Fig. 14) is sufficient for all typical operations and adjustments of the STIX. The 3/8 in wrench (Fig. 15) is used to remove and install buttons on the probe holders.

Corrosion Link
The corrosion link (Fig. 16) provides braking for the system and an internal encoder connected to the  wheels. A connection plug exists for index encoding. A mounting point for the frame bar is also provided. The corrosion link length can be adjusted to increase the scanner diameter range and allow for probe clearance.

Non-Encoded Corrosion Link
The non-encoded corrosion link (Fig. 17) provides braking for the system. A mounting point for the frame bar is also provided. The corrosion link length can be adjusted to increase the scanner diameter range and allow for probe clearance.

Corrosion link adjustment
To achieve the minimum diameter pipe/tube scan range of 10.2 cm (4 in), the corrosion link and non-encoded corrosion link must be adjusted as follows.

1. Use the supplied 2 mm hex driver to remove the 2 shoulder screws (Fig. 18).
2. With the 2 shoulder screws removed, position the two halves of the corrosion link closer together, align the screw holes and insert the shoulder screws (Fig. 19).
3. Tighten the 2 shoulder screws with the supplied 2 mm hex driver (Fig. 20).

Mounting a Frame Bar

Ensure the two black wing knobs are loose (Fig. 21). Slide the frame bar along the dovetail nuts of the corrosion link (Fig. 21). When the frame bar is positioned where appropriate, tighten the two black wing knobs (Fig. 22).

Index Encoder Connection

The index encoder connection (Fig. 23) is located along the side of the corrosion link. The cable from the PPS encoder (see Index Encoder on page 18) connects to this point.

4.4.4. Encoder Connection

The encoder connection (Fig. 24) is located at the rear of the corrosion link. The encoder cable connects here. The opposite end of the encoder cable connects to the user’s instrument.

Brake

The red lever on both the corrosion and non-encoded corrosion links provides braking to the system. Press the lever down to activate the brake.
TIP: When the brake is engaged, and the scanner is moved, this may loosen the wheels from the axle. Grip the wheel tightly and retighten the axle with the 3 mm hex driver

Wheel Removal/Installation

Tightly grip the wheel to be removed by hand. Loosen the wheel from the axle using the supplied 3 mm hex driver (Fig. 14).

WARNING! MAGNETIC MATERIAL. The magnetic wheel kit produce a magnetic field which may cause failure or permanent damage to items such as watches, memory devices, CRT monitors, medical devices or other electronics. People with pacemakers or ICD’s must stay at least 25 cm (10 in) away

Carrier
With the use of a leadscrew, the carrier can move along the length of the frame bar:

1. Loosen the leadscrew clamp knob (Fig. 27) to allow carrier movement along the frame bar
   

2. Press the latch on the carrier handle to position the carrier to the next index location (Fig. 28).

4.5.1. Carrier Cable Clip

1. Push the cable clip flap down (Fig. 29) to insert the necessary cables and hoses (Fig. 30).

4.5.2. Index Nuts

The index nuts (Fig. 31) along the frame bar offer index positions during scans. The arrow found on the carrier’s handle references the arrow on the corresponding index nut. Align the arrows using the ruler to set the desired spacing.

NOTE: The index nuts can be repositioned, and placement of the index nuts works in conjunction with common probe specifications. Excessive adjustment of the index nuts is not recommended.
