Operating the AxSEAM Scanner 65

4.2 Working with the ScanDeck™ module’s Feedback

When connected to an OmniScan X3 instrument, the ScanDeck™ module can provide

useful feedback information to help you perform the inspection without having to

look at the instrument. For details on how to set up the OmniScan instrument, refer to

the OmniScan MX, MX1, and MX2 User’s Manual and OmniScan X3 User’s Manual.

4.2.1 Coupling Check

When set up correctly in an OmniScan X3 instrument, a steady blue LED (Figure 1-6

on page 26) will be on when the coupling between the wedges and the part is correct.

When coupling is lost, the blue LED will flash. In such case, the couplant feed should

be increased or the scan speed reduced. The scanner should be moved back and the

last section be scanned again.

4.2.2 Speed Check

When set up correctly in an OmniScan X3 instrument, a green light (Figure 1-6 on

page 26) will stay on when the speed of the scanner is inferior to the maximum speed

allowed by the instrument. If the scanner speed exceeds the maximum, the green light

with turn off and a red LED will flash for up to 2 seconds after the missed data

occurred. In such case, the scanner should be moved back and the last section be

scanned again at a lower speed.

4.2.3 Laser Button

Pushing the laser button (Figure 1-6 on page 26) on the ScanDeck™ module turns on

the laser light guide. Pushing the button again turns off the laser.
