Chapter 3 DEFINITIONS 3.1. Definition of Symbols Instructions to ‘look here’ or to ‘see this part’ Denotes movement. Instructing user to carry out action in a specified direction. Indicates alignment axis Alerts user that view has changed to a reverse angle 3.2.
3.3. Safety Symbols The following safety symbols might appear on the product and in this document. Read and understand their meaning below: General warning This symbol is used to alert the user to potential symbol hazards. All safety messages that follow this symbol shall be obeyed to avoid possible ham or material damage.
Fig. 77 - 3/8 in wrench The included 3 mm hex driver (Fig. 76) is suitable for most typical adjustments within the NAVIC system. Also included in this kit is a 3/8 in wrench which is used to (Fig. 77) remove and install probe holder pivot buttons.
The right drive module includes the encoder, umbilical connections and accessory mounting point. When connected with the left drive module the NAVIC scanner is able to steer on an inspection surface. NOTE: The ability to effectively steer the crawler in the circumferential direction decreases as pipe diameters decrease below 300 mm (12 in).
Fig. 85 - Left drive module The left drive module is only used in conjunction with the right drive module. Combining both modules allows the NAVIC scanner to steer on an inspection surface. NOTE: Steering is limited on smaller diameter inspection surfaces.
4.3.2. Power Controller CAUTION! DO NOT DISCONNECT UNDER LOAD. Shut off power before connection or disconnecting. Permanent damage to electronics could occur. WARNING! There are no user serviceable components inside the power controller. Dangerous voltages can be present inside the case. Do NOT open.
Stop button The red stop button latches down when 4 pressed, this stop button shuts down the system. Twist the stop button clockwise to return to the released position. This must be done before power can be activated. Scanlink connector Connection for Scanlink devices.
Fig. 87 - Umbilical The umbilical is the backbone of the NAVIC system. It provides all power, network distribution as well as encoder signal transmission. Circuitry is incorporated into the umbilical to protect or isolate all signals. The umbilical provides separation between the power controller and the crawler.

4.3.3.3 Encoder Signal Isolation The umbilical contains a built-in circuit which buffers encoder signals in addition to providing isolation and protection to user instrumentation. The isolator requires 5VDC from the user’s instrument and this is built into the supplied encoder cables. 4.3.4.
The encoder cable connects the NAVIC system to the user’s instrument. This cable allows transmission of two-axis position signals from the NAVIC to the instrument. The encoder cable also provides 5VDC from the user’s instrument to the encoder isolation circuitry.
4.3.8. Lifting Sling The lifting sling attaches to the crawler to provide an attachment point for tethers. When operating a NAVIC at a height greater than 2 m , the (6 ft) crawler MUST be tethered with a proper tether system to prevent the crawler from falling (see “No...
4.3.11. Cap & Plug Prevent contamination and damage to the NAVIC’s connection pivots. When the left and right modules are separated, it is imperative the connection pivots remain free of dirt, sand, mud, etc. (see “Connecting/Disconnecting Left and Right Modules” on page 71 for additional details).
4.4.4. Frame Bar Frame bars use dovetail grooves into which probe holders and accessories may be attached. Available in various lengths. Fig. 102 - Frame bar 4.4.5. Slip Joint Probe Holder The slip joint probe holder is generally used during limited access inspection.
The preamp mounts to any dovetail groove. It is compatible with most standard preamps. Fig. 108 - Preamp bracket 4.4.11. NAVIC Backpack The NAVIC backpack provides a means of carrying equipment/hardware on a NAVIC crawler. Fig. 109 - NAVIC backpack 4.4.12.

4.5.3. Actuated Probe Lift The actuated probe lift allows the probe to be lifted from the inspection surface, preserving the life or the probe as well as allowing travel over small obstacles and large welds. The actuated probe lift is compatible with various probe styles and is available with either a flat or curved wear plate.
Chapter 5 PREPARATION FOR USE 5.1. Preparation for Transportation CAUTION! PINCH / CRUSH HAZARD. BE CAREFUL when passing the NAVIC crawler through narrow ferrous openings, such as man- (magnetic) holes. The magnetic drive wheels can cause bodily harm if allowed to slam onto the walls of the opening.
Before placing the crawler on the surface to be inspected , attach the (e.g. tank) provided lifting sling to the NAVIC and then hook the tether hook to the lifting sling. CAUTION! The overhead attachment point for the tether must be located as close as possible to...

SEVERE INJURY or DEATH could result. The pivoting probe holder frame utilizes vertical probe holders. The NAVIC can guide as many as 6 probes in the longitudinal or circumferential direction. NOTE: A minimum OD of 305 mm (12 in) is required for longitudinal scanning.
5.11.3.1 Mounting a Pivoting Probe Holder Frame WARNING! FALLING OBJECT HAZARD. The Pivoting Probe Holder Frame is to be mounted only in the right hand swivel mount. Mounting it in both the left hand and right hand swivel mounts may cause the crawler to fall and SEVERE INJURY or DEATH could result.
5.11.3.2 Pivoting Probe Holder Frame Setup - Longitudinal Scanning WARNING! FALLING OBJECT HAZARD. When scanning in the longitudinal direction with the Pivoting Probe Holder Frame, operation must be limited to driving in the longitudinal direction only. Only very slight corrective steering is permitted. Excessive steering may cause the crawler to fall and SEVERE INJURY or DEATH could result.
The pivoting probe holder frame may be configured to allow scanning of flanges and the like. The following steps explain setup of this configuration: Fig. 297 - Configure assembly and mount to NAVIC 1. Disassemble the pivoting probe holder frame to achieve the setup shown .
