1.1. Product Brand This user manual describes the proper safety precautions, setup and use of the STIX manual magnetic corrosion scanner. 1.2. Manufacturer Distributor: Manufacturer: Jireh Industries Ltd. 53158 Range Road 224 Ardrossan, Alberta, Canada T8E 2K4 Phone: 780.922.4534 jireh.com BG0100 Rev 05.3...
Chapter 2 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS 2.1. Intended Use The STIX magnetic scanner is a manually operated scanner which provides corrosion scanning. 2.1.1. Operating Limits Minimum Maximum Pipe/tube range, outer diameter 20.3 cm Flat (8 in) (standard) Pipe/tube range, outer diameter 10.2 cm Flat (4 in) (reduced)
Chapter 3 DEFINITIONS 3.1. Definition of Symbols Instructions to ‘look here’ or to ‘see this part’. Denotes movement. Instructing users to carry out an action in a specified direction. Indicates alignment axis. Alerts the user that the view has changed to a reverse angle.
4.3. Corrosion Link The corrosion link provides braking for (Fig. 16) the system and an internal encoder connected to the wheels. A connection plug exists for index encoding. A mounting point for the frame bar is also provided. The corrosion link length can be adjusted to increase the scanner diameter range and allow for probe clearance.
4.4.1. Corrosion link adjustment To achieve the minimum diameter pipe/tube scan range of 10.2 cm (4 in), the corrosion link and non-encoded corrosion link must be adjusted as follows. NOTE: The large yoke of the heavy duty probe holder must be replaced with the standard yoke to allow the carrier to fit under the corrosion links (see Yoke Substitution on page 16).
4.4.2. Mounting a Frame Bar - Loosen wing knobs - Tighten wing knobs Fig. 21 Fig. 22 Ensure the two black wing knobs are loose . Slide the frame bar along (Fig. 21) the dovetail nuts of the corrosion link .
4.4.5. Brake The red lever on both the corrosion and non-encoded corrosion links provides braking to the system. Press the lever down to activate the brake. TIP: When the brake is engaged, and the scanner is moved, this may loosen the wheels from the axle.
4.5. Carrier With the use of a leadscrew, the carrier can move along the length of the frame bar. - Loosen the leadscrew clamp knob Fig. 27 Loosen the leadscrew clamp knob to allow carrier movement along the (Fig. 27) frame bar.
4.5.2. Index Nuts - Index nuts Fig. 31 The index nuts along the frame (Fig. 31) bar offer index positions during scans. The arrow found on the carrier’s handle references the arrow on the corresponding index nut. Align the arrows using the ruler to set the desired spacing.
Loosen the probe holder adjustment knob and remove the outer probe holder arm (Fig. 36) Loosen the arm clamp screw (Fig. 37). Place the wedge on the pivot button of the inner probe holder arm (Fig. 37). - Remove outer arm - Pivot buttons Fig.
4.6.3. Probe Holder Left/Right Conversion - Remove yoke - Orient to opposite side Fig. 42 Fig. 43 Using the supplied 3 mm driver, unscrew the yoke (Fig. 42). Position the yoke and arms on the opposite side of the probe holder (Fig.
Position the pivot buttons to the inside of the probe holder arms (Fig. 46) Place the probe holder arms on the yoke and tighten the arm clamp screw and probe holder adjustment knob (Fig. 47) Use the supplied 3 mm driver to screw the yoke to the probe holder.
4.6.5. Probe Holder 90° Adjustment Remove the yoke using the supplied 3 mm driver (Fig. 42). Orient the yoke to the front of the probe holder and screw the yoke into the threaded hole provided (Fig. 53) - 90° probe holder positioning Fig.
4.9. Index Encoder The index encoder provides positional feedback perpendicular to the scan direction of travel. - Loosen and slide post in place Fig. 56 - Align and mount post Fig. 57 To install the index encoder, loosen the clamp screw on the encoder with the supplied 3 mm hex driver (Fig.
4.10. Cable Clips Clips have been provided to assist with cable management. Pinch the clip and press it into the dovetail groove of the frame bar. - Pinch clip - Route cables Fig. 60 Fig. 61 4.11. Cable Management - Cable management Fig.
4.11.1. Cable Management Dovetail Mount To attach the cable management, follow these steps: - Loosen and slide on - Tighten knob Fig. 63 Fig. 64 Loosen the knob on the cable management dovetail mount. Slide the mount onto the dovetail link (Fig.
Follow the cable placement, zipping the tube closed and closing the cable management cable latch (Fig. 66) - Zip opposite end - Flexibility Fig. 67 Fig. 68 Once the cable is placed the entire length of the tube, bring the zipper from the tube’s opposite end, meeting at any point in the middle (Fig.
Chapter 6 OPERATION 6.1. Setup of a STIX on a Scanning Surface - Frame bar offers protection for PPS encoder Fig. 73 Ensure the frame bar extends past the corrosion link on the encoder (Fig. 73-2) side. This will provide protection to the index encoder connector. The non-encoded link can be flush with the frame bar (Fig.
Page 29
Plug in the encoder cable to the encoder connection (see Encoder Connection on and route the encoder cable through the cable management page 9) (see and cable clips Cable Management on page 19) (Fig. 74). - Configure scanner and set brakes Fig.
Chapter 7 MAINTENANCE General cleaning of components is important to keep your system working well. All components that have no wiring or cables are completely waterproof. Components can be washed with warm water, dish soap and a medium bristle brush. Before using the scanner, ensure all connectors are free of water and moisture.
