System Overview
Positioning Amigo2
Amigo2 must be properly positioned prior to use so that you do not run the
risk of dropping the instrument or the instrument falling over. Amigo2 has two
safe operating positions: horizontal and tilted. To use it in a tilted
position, simply pull out the stand located at the rear of the instrument
until Amigo2 is at the desired angle. If you are using Amigo2 with the
optional harness, see Adjusting the Harness on page 58 for details.
Figure 1-5 Amigo2 in horizontal position
Figure 1-6 Amigo2 in tilted position
CAUTION
Caution
It is possible to use Amigo2 while it rests on its lower bumpers, but this is
not a safe operational position as the instrument may fall over. If you want
to use Amigo2 at an angle, use the stand located at the rear of the
instrument.
Important
Regardless of how you position the instrument, you must always have a minimum
clearance of 10 cm (4 in) on all sides of the instrument. Always position the
instrument away from heat sources. This ensures proper heat dissipation while
the instrument is in use.
| 7
System Overview
Starting Amigo2
Proceed as follows to turn on your instrument or exit the standby mode: 1.
Make sure that at least one of the two batteries is inserted into the battery
compartment A of the instrument or that the instrument is plugged in to an
external power source using the supplied power cord. 2. Press the power
button. The power indicator at the center of the power button lights green.
Probe Connection
The Amigo2 has four connectors running down the righthand side of the
instrument. The top connector is the I/O port, while the lower three
connectors are for attaching probes. Three probes can be connected to the
instrument, but only one of them can be used at any one time.
The top two connectors are push fit Limo connectors. To make a connection,
align the two red dots and push the plug in until it clicks. To remove the
connector, grasp the metal collar and pull. This releases a catch that would
otherwise hold the connector in place. Pulling on the cable, rather than the
metal collar, will severely damage the probe.
The lower two connectors are ratchet connectors. To attach these connectors,
align the mating lugs and screw the outer collar clockwise until the red ring,
around the base of the connector, is no longer visible and the mate is secure.
Batteries
Amigo2 can be used under battery power. The instrument is designed with two
battery cradles under the protective battery compartment door but can be
powered by a single battery. Amigo2 uses Li204SX-7800 lithium-ion rechargeable
batteries from Emerging Power, which do not suffer from the memory effect
affecting previous generations of batteries.
WARNING!
Warning
Whenever carrying Amigo2 in its transport case, remove the batteries from the
instrument and make sure that they cannot come in contact during transport, as
this poses a significant fire and explosion hazard.
When carrying Amigo2, it is the user’s responsibility to make sure that the
safety precautions used are in accordance with the local department of
transportation (or equivalent governing body) rules and regulations.
Amigo2’s transport case comes with two slots, fitted to receive the batteries
when removed from the instrument.
Note
Make sure that you do not replace the batteries by batteries other than
Li204X-7800 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries from Emerging Power. Contact
your Eddyfi representative for more information about pricing and availability
or replacement batteries.

System Overview
Inserting/Removing Batteries Inserting Batteries
1. On Amigo2’s left side, unlatch the battery compartment’s door, and then
open it. 2. Align your battery with one of the battery cradles.
Note Battery cradles are marked A and B. If you are inserting only one
battery, it does not matter which of the two cradles you use. 3. Make sure
that the battery contacts are facing inward and upward. 4. Slide the battery
into the battery cradle until it is fully inserted. You should feel the
battery contacts snap into place.
Removing Batteries
1. On the left side of Amigo2, unlatch the battery compartment’s door, and
then open it. 2. Grab the battery tab between thumb and forefinger. 3. Pull on
the tab.
You will feel the battery contacts being released. 4. Slide the battery out of
its cradle.
Hot Swapping Batteries
You can remove one of the Amigo2 batteries when the instrument is turned on as
Amigo2 can operate with a single battery. Should the power in the remaining
battery be insufficient to keep Amigo2 operating, the instrument shuts down
without damaging electronic components, but all your work in progress in the
Amigo2 software (acquisition, etc.) is lost.
Charging Batteries
Note Batteries do not recharge when their internal temperature exceeds 45 °C
(113 °F). Batteries also do not power Amigo2 when the instrument’s internal
temperature exceeds 55 °C (131 °F).
Using the Optional Battery Charger
An optional battery charger is available from Eddyfi. Contact your Eddyfi
representative for more information about pricing and availability. This
charger conditions and calibrates the instrument’s batteries, which is
important to maximize their lives. We recommend calibrating the batteries
every six months. Figure 1-7 Optional battery charger
Status window Calibration buttons
Battery slots
| 9
System Overview To charge the batteries with the optional charger: 1. Place
the charger on a flat and level surface, away from heat and moisture sources.
2. Insert the power supply’s DC connector into the back of the external
charger. 3. Connect the power supply to an AC supply using the supplied cable.
All the LEDs flash momentarily to let you know that power is present. 4.
Insert the batteries into the battery slots while making sure that the
contacts are fully seated. The charger automatically begins charging the
batteries and the LEDs in the status window display the following information:
x Blinking green: battery charging x Green: battery fully charged x Blinking
blue: battery calibrating x Blue: battery charge gauge calibrated x Blinking
red: battery charge gauge in need of calibration x Red: error
Calibrating Batteries
To ensure that your batteries perform at their full capacity for the longest
possible time, it is important to calibrate them on a regular basis.
Calibration involves a standard battery charge followed by a deep discharge,
and then a complete charge. This procedure usually takes 10 to 13 hours,
whereas a standard charge only takes approximately 3.5 hours. Calibrate
batteries by placing them in the optional charger and then pressing the
calibration button. We recommend calibrating your batteries at least every six
months.
Storing Batteries
Whenever transporting Amigo2 in its case, remove the batteries from the
instrument, place them in plastic bags, and then make sure that they cannot
come in contact during transport, as this is a significant fire and explosion
hazard. Amigo2’s transport case is outfitted with two slots intended for the
batteries. We recommend that you take advantage of them.

files, etc. x Documentation. View PDF documents relating to the software. x
Preferences. Change system settings, units, time and date, connect to wireless
networks, etc. x License. Check and manage license information. x Help.
Software, firmware versions, product support functionalities, etc.
The five sections are described in more detail, below.
General Section
Figure 2-1 Backstage view: General
1. Job Details. Enter a Site, Component and Operator name. Optionally, a Plan
can be selected if the inspection has been prepared ahead of time. Component
may refer to a larger structure or assembly that has multiple inspection
areas, such as a vessel, line, tank or vehicle. These names will be used in
following inspections. The Part ID could be a subcomponent name or weld ID
which would identify the specific location of a series of inspection scans.
Your work is automatically saved so there is no need to create files and
folders. Instead, the system will use these labels to automatically create
files and folder names for you. For this reason, it is worth entering these
labels in a full and formal manner. The operator’s name will be appended to
any reports which are automatically generated by the system, so it’s best to
use your full name. Instrument/Probe. Up to three probes can be attached to
the instrument at any one time. Input connections are available for Amigo1
probes, the Sensu probes used with PACE and the second generation Sensu2
probes for Amigo2. | 13
Software Overview 2. Probe Select allows you to choose which probe and
configuration to use. This is described in more detail on “Probe Selection”,
page 14. 3. Import Probe copies Amigo1 configuration files found on the root
of a USB mass storage device to the Amigo2’s memory. This only needs to be
done the first time an Amigo1 probe is used on the instrument, or if a
configuration file is changed. In this case the current configuration file
will be overwritten. 4. View Imported displays all the configuration files
imported to the Amigo2’s memory and allows you to delete any that are no
longer required. For example, if you were installing a new version of the
file. For more detail see “View Imported”, page 15. 5. File Transfer. Transfer
files between the Amigo2 and a USB mass storage device. See “File Transfer”,

connections are available for Amigo1 probes, the Sensu probes used with PACE
and the second generation Sensu2 probes for Amigo2. The Probe Selection
dialogue box allows you to choose which probe and configuration to use. This
function can also be accessed from the Backstage/General tab or the Home
Ribbon, as described on “The Home Ribbon”, page 22. Note: the Amigo2 SE does
not support the use of array probes. Figure 2-2 Probe selection
Many ACFM probes are calibrated for more than one material. If this is the
case, the material Configuration can be selected from the list. The Scan Mode
can be set to clock, clock w/ pos or encoder (if you have an encoder fitted).
In clock mode it takes several readings a second, regardless of whether the
probe is moving. In clock with position, readings are taken at the same rate
as in clock mode, but an encoder is used to also save the distance travelled,
thus allowing for automatic sizing. In encoder mode it only gathers data when
the probe is moving, then displays the data against distance travelled. Before
scanning can start, a connector and probe must be selected as Active.

Software Overview
File Transfer
Transfer files between the Amigo2 and a USB mass storage device. Files can
also be deleted using this function. A new file or “page” of data is created
every time Run is pressed. Files are collected in subfolders labelled by
Component name, which are collected within top level folders labelled by Site
name. The filename for each page is based on the Part ID, the type of Scan
(function check [F] or general [G]), the Line (toe 1, weld cap, HAZ, etc) and
page number. For example: PartID F TO1 001 A Function Check on toe 1, page 1.
PartID G CAP 002 A General inspection scan on the cap, page 2. PartID G HAZ
003 A General inspection scan on the HAZ, page 3.
Files can be transferred at the component level or the site level, in which
case multiple components, contained within the “Site” folder can be
transferred simultaneously. Plans can also be transferred to and from the
Amigo2, thus allowing for the creation of plans using Assist on a computer and
the later sharing of these plans.
View Imported
View Imported displays all the configuration files imported to the Amigo2’s
memory and allows you to delete any that are no longer required. For example,
if you were installing a new version of the file. Probe files can be deleted
by selecting the relevant item in the list and pressing the red cross on the
touchscreen. Figure 2-3 View imported probes

Configuring Markers
Configure Markers. Pressing the physical A/C button on the left-hand side of
the case, while the instrument is collecting data, adds a series of
sequentially numbered vertical lines to the Bx and Bz traces. For example, if
the inspector was inspecting a circumferential weld marked up in clock
positions running from 1 to 12 o’clock, 12 being top dead center, the data
could be marked up accordingly. When the probe passes over one of the clock
marks, the operator would press the A/C key to mark the region of data
corresponding to the marked position. The exact sequence of numbers is
configured in the Marker Setup dialogue box, found in Home/Markers.
Figure 2-17 Marker setup dialogue box

The default settings assume you are starting at 1 o’clock and ending at 12
o’clock. However this may not be the case. For example, you may be starting at
9 o’clock, scanning through 12 o’clock and ending at 2 o’clock. In this case
you would want the markers to run in the following sequence: 9, 10, 11, 12, 1,
2. For this configuration you would require the following settings:
1. The numbers are increasing clockwise. This should not be confused with a
probe moving in the clockwise direction.
2. The maximum number in the sequence is 12.
3. The sequence starts with 9.
4. The sequence ends with 2.
5. If the operator then wanted to reverse direction and scan from 2 o’clock,
through 12 and end at 9 o’clock, they would simply press the “Swap” button to
reconfigure the markers.
6. If the operator was inspecting a linear weld, rather than a
circumferential weld, then the numbered sequence would not repeat in a
rotational manner. In this case the markers would be configured to either
increase 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14… Or decrease: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5…

The C-scans simultaneously map the data from all rows. Background values are
green, lower values are blue and higher values are red. Measured defects are
displayed as yellow rectangles. In the Standard Layout the Bx and Bz signals
can be moved up and down the screen by touching the butterfly and dragging it
around the butterfly plot. A similar behaviour can be achieved in other
layouts, such as layout 2. In this case, moving the butterfly up the screen
moves the color spectrum towards the reds, while dragging it down pulls the
C-scan towards the blues. Pinching and zooming the butterfly magnifies the
depth of the defect on the C-scan. A combination of moving and resizing the
butterfly can be used to optimize the C-scan images before creating a report.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintaining Amigo2
Because of its design, Amigo2 only requires minimal maintenance. Since it has
no moving parts, it also does not require any preventive maintenance on your
part. We recommend a regular inspection of the instrument to ensure it is
properly grounded. We also strongly recommend an annual calibration and a
factory-performed preventive maintenance by an officially qualified Eddyfi
technician.
Cleaning Amigo2
1. Make sure that the instrument is off and that the power cord is
disconnected. 2. To bring the instrument back to its original finish, clean it
with a soft cloth.
WARNING!
Warning
Do not spray the instrument with chemical cleansers or water. Doing so may
lead to short circuits and damage to the instrument.
Important
To remove stubborn stains, use a cloth moistened with soft, soapy solution. Do
not use abrasives or strong solvents as they could damage the finish. Wait
until the instrument is completely dry before connecting the power cord or
cables.

Using the optional Harness
Using the optional Harness
Adjusting the Harness
Harnessing Amigo2 requires a number of specific adjustments so that you feel
comfortable wearing the harness.
Adjusting the Harness to your Body
1. Grab the harness shoulder straps and slip it over your shoulders as you
would with a jacket. Figure 8-1 Slipping the harness on
2. Verify the fit of the harness. Visualize working with Amigo2 before making
any adjustments to the shoulder straps and height of the belt. Slip out of the
harness.
58 | www.eddyfi.com
Using the optional Harness 3. Use the underarm straps and shoulder blade rings
to adjust the fit of your shoulder
straps. You may need to perform this adjustment several times to get the
proper fit. Figure 8-2 Adjusting the shoulder straps
5. Use the back and side belt straps to adjust the height of the harness’
belt to suit your body type. You may need to perform this adjustment several
times to get the proper fit. Note Your belt’s height determines the lowest
position of Amigo2. Adjust this height so that the display of the instrument
is easy to see–for that, the belt could end up higher than your hips.
Figure 8-3 Adjusting the belt’s height
| 59
Using the optional Harness 6. Once your belt and shoulder straps are adjusted,
clip and tighten the chest straps. Figure 8-4 Securing the chest straps
7. Secure the belt around your waist, according to the height you have
adjusted it. Figure 8-5 Securing the belt
8. Make sure that the harness fits snuggly. 9. Make sure that the harness’
shoulder anchor straps are loose. 60 | www.eddyfi.com
