Page 47: Preparation Of Inspection Surface
To prepare the inspection surface Remove build-up of scale, and other debris (ex.: dirt, ice) from the surface on which the SteerROVER is to drive. Excessive build-up will cause the wheels to lose magnetic attraction, which may lead to wheel slippage or scanner detachment.
Page 48: Compatible Equipment
10-004209-01EN [Q7750159], Rev. 2, May 2018 Obstructions and voids could cause the SteerROVER to fall if driven into or over. Ensure that there are no patches of nonferrous material in the drive path of the SteerROVER. If the scanner drives over a nonferrous patch, it will lose magnetic attraction, which will cause the SteerROVER to fall.

Page 181: 4.10 Probe Holder Rack
4.10.1 Probe Holder Rack—Flat or Circumferential The probe holder rack adds weld scanning capability to the SteerROVER motorized scanner (see Figure 4-108 on page 172). This frame uses four (4) vertical probe holders. Additional frame components allow up to six probes to be used.
Page 182 10-004209-01EN [Q7750159], Rev. 2, May 2018 Figure 4‑108 Probe holder rack To set up the probe holder rack Attach the wedges to the probe holders that will be used (see “Probe Holder Setup” on page 134 for additional details). Affix the probe holders, with attached wedges, to the probe holder rack. Place the secondary probe holder at the front of the rack (1) and place the primary probe holders at the rear (2) (see Figure 4-109 on page 173).
Page 183: Figure 4-109 Position Primary And Secondary Probe Holders
To avoid mechanical failure, the pivoting probe holder rack with four probes must only be mounted directly to the SteerROVER scanner (see “Dual Drive Modules with Pivoting Probe Holder Rack” on page 50). The raster arm is only able to support the weight of a probe holder bar with two (2) probes.
