4.0 Getting Started
Overview
4.1
The RouteScan has been developed to provide quick, accurate structure
clearance measurements relative to the Permanent Way. With the RouteScan in
position on the track, the operator is able to control, from a position of safety, the
measurement laser using the Control Unit via a Bluetooth connection.
The unit is a lightweight (9.5kg) and is provided with a protective box for easy
transportation to and from site. All data is shown on a colour screen and is stored
on an SD Memory Card for easy transfer to a PC, where the files can be opened
and viewed in MS Excel.
The use of wireless technology in the RouteScan means that there are two
separate batteries in the ABT4650:
•
RouteScan
•
Control Unit
The unit has been designed to be user-friendly with only limited training required.
