Light Adjustment
Warning: Risk of Damage to Eyes and Eyesight
The Scanprobe pipeline inspection systems feature bright LED illumination on
the camera head which may cause damage to the eyes or to eyesight when fully
illuminated. Do not look directly at them or point them at other people’s eyes
when illuminated.
The LED illumination can be incremented from off to full brightness by pressing the “Lights
Up” and “Lights Down” buttons. There are 5 increments between lights off to full brightness.
The LEDs can be immediately switched off by pressing the “Lights Off” button.
File Manager
Caution
File sizes over 4GB cannot be managed (moved, copied, saved, or transferred)
using a drive formatted using the FAT32 file system.
File systems are ways of organizing storage on devices such as hard drives, Solid State
Drives (SSDs) and USB sticks. FAT32 is cross-compatible with almost all operating systems
from Windows to macOS and Linux, meaning devices formatted to FAT32 can be used on
smartphones, tablets, PCs, Mac’s, etc. without having to reformat the device each time (and
destroying the data held on the device). The Maxprobe CCU uses a FAT32 file system, so
file transfer sizes are limited to a maximum of 4GB. This is approximately equal to 3 hours
of video recording. It is advisable to break reports into separate parts if the entire report is
likely to exceed 3 hours of recordings. For example, if a single site survey is expected to
take 6 hours to complete, it is advisable to split the report into two parts. If the 4GB file size
is being reached, the Maxprobe CCU will notify the operator with a pop-up dialog warning.
While the file can continue to be worked on, once the file size is over this 4GB limit, the file
cannot be transferred off the storage device it was recorded on to.
Please note that the Maxprobe CCU will store all video files and reports generated into the
32Gb onboard SSD by default. This should be regularly cleared up by copying all reports
onto a USB drive or to a computer then deleting the file from the Maxprobe CCU. Using
more that 75% of the onboard SSD for storing old reports and video can lead to the
Maxprobe CCU becoming unresponsive or freezing up.
Viewing Recordings
Press the File Manager button to open the file manager screen. Select the storage device
containing the recording using the navigation keys. If you have inserted any USB devices,
they will show here, otherwise this this will only show the internal SSD.
Press the “OK” button to view the selected files.
Transferring Files
Press the File Manager button to open the file manager screen. Select the storage device
containing the recording using the navigation keys. Highlight the folder or file you wish to
copy then press <Ctrl> and <C>. You will be prompted to select the destination for the
