- Page 3 How to use this manual The WAND Data Collector (referred to as WAND from this point forward) manu- al has been laid out to reflect the menu bar that appears on the WAND screen. This booklet includes: Introduction to WAND...
- Page 4 Introduction The WAND is used to activate the Inductosense Thickness Monitoring Sensors (TMS) in order to take ultrasonic thickness measurements from structures. The WAND powers and subsequently acquires the thickness data from the installed sensors. The TMS sensors can be installed on thickness/corrosion monitoring locations (CMLs/ TMLs).

Page 5: Powering-Up The Wand
Powering-up the WAND To switch the WAND on press the ON/OFF button. Once the WAND is turned on, a user sign-in page will be displayed. A user can sign-in to the device by either scanning a user RFID card or by entering a PIN Number against a specified user name. - Page 6 Start using the WAND Prior to initial use of the WAND, it is recommended to check and confirm the MEASUREMENT and the DEVICE SETTINGS. The settings are accesed via the Menu Bar. To open the Menu Bar, press the UP navigation button.

Page 7: Measure Settings
This feature is designed to enable users to achieve optimal alignment of the WAND to the TMS sensor. When the scan button is released the full ultrasonic signal is shown on the screen along with location from the RFID. - Page 8 RFIDs to TMS Sensors in the field STEP ONE Place the WAND above the RFID, press the Scan button. If the RFID has been detected, the location indicator displays the RFID tag (“RFID / N/A” if the RFID has not been assigned, “RFID / name of location”...
- Page 9 Once the settings for the RFID have been set, press the left navigation button to finish the RFID assignment and save the measurement. Subsequent measurements taken by the WAND will associate all datafrom the TMS senso to this RFID. Document: 1.04.04 Rev6...
- Page 10 The ‘Measure Settings’ menu options allows users to define the measurement parameters against which the thickness measurements will be recorded in the WAND. Figure 5 is a screenshot of this menu option and displays the criteria that can be configured. It should be noted that Material and Peak Detction can also be applied in retrospect to the individual (and groups of ) measurements once they have been uploaded to the IDM software.
- Page 11 Minimum thickness A minumum thickness value can be set. The WAND will then not calculate any thickness values below that threshold. This is recommended for structures >50mm Document: 1.04.04 Rev6...
- Page 12 Settings The ‘Device Settings’ menu options allows users to configure operating parameters of the WAND. Figure 6 is a screenshot of this menu option and displays the criteria that can be configured. There are two columns of options. Only the left hand column can be configured;...
- Page 13 Configurable Device Settings RFID En. The RFID functionality can be ENABLED or DISABLED. Shutdown: This can be used to set the inactivity time after which the device will shut down. To optimise battery life it is recommended not to set the inactivity time to ‘never’ . Units: METRIC or IMPERIAL units can be selected.
- Page 14 To select another record, return to the HISTORY screen via the Menu Bar and repeat the steps above. If there are other thickness measurements from the same TMS sensor stored on the WAND these can be viewed by pressing enter. Document: 1.04.04 Rev6...
