Front Isometric View

5. Handle
Used to carry, deploy, move, and remove
the scanner. It is also used as a tether
point for the scanner. An electronic
assembly housing the on-board button
controls and encoder is integrated and
sealed into the handle. The encoder
connects direct to the front wheel axle
and is used to record the distance
travelled by the scanner.
CAUTION
Ensure the handle is used at all times
when handling or operating the
scanner.
TETHER LINE
Ensure the unit is tethered at all times
when used in manual mode to prevent
the scanner from falling.
6. Pause / Resume button
Identified by an illuminated red LED.
Used during an inspection to pause /
resume the scan.
CAUTION
When paused during a scan any
forward or backwards movement by
the scanner is not recorded by the
encoder.

Identified by an illuminated blue LED.
Button has two functions:
Press once: Proceed to the next scan
path by increasing the Index axis.
Press and hold: Reset the encoder count
value of the scan axis back to zero.
Connect the encoder cable to this socket
to provide communication back to the
instrument.
CAUTION
Prior to connecting,
encoder strain relief clip is connected.
Used to provide strain relief on the
encoder cable.
CAUTION
Prior to use, ensure the encoder strain
relief is applied. Failure to do so could
result in encoder cable or tractor unit
damage.
Do not use the encoder strain relief
point to tether the scanner unit.
Mounting points either side of the chassis
are used to attach the system to the
Eddyfi RMS scanner for automated PA
scanning.
