Brightest LED illumination in IPLEX familyA wide range of interchangeable optical adaptors provides optimal magnification and direction suitable for a variety of inspection environments. The optional adaptors are equipped with LED illumination that is 6X brighter than the 6.0 mm LED-lit long scope. Despite the scope length, the IPLEX LX and LT deliver vivid illumination as the LED illumination at the scope tips eliminates light loss caused by light guide fibres that are used in conventional scopes. The extra-bright LED illumination is ideal for the inspections of large voids in tanks, pumps, and reactors.

<For LX>

• Attach a stereo optical adapter to the distal end of a scope while the live screen is displayed.

<For FX/LX 8.5-mm type> Select the stereo optical adapter to be used in the

adapter selection screen, and press the [MEAS/ENTER] joystick.

<For LX 4-mm and 6-mm types> Confirm the name of the stereo optical adapter and the

set number, and then select "OK". Press the [MEAS/ENTER] joystick.

• When using a stereo optical adapter for the first time, installation will be required. Select the [NEW STEREO ADAPTER] option from the menu and follow the on-screen directions. For full details please refer to the instruction manual.

• Immediately after executing stereo measurement or selecting "METHOD" in the stereo measurement screen, the measurement method (measurement mode) selection screen is displayed.

• Refer to the following page for the usable measurement method (measurement mode). (Some functions are not available for LX.)

• Tilt the [ZOOM] lever toward [W] to activate the measuring distance to object function.

• Highest accuracy is achieved when green zone is displayed in object distance. To achieve highest measurement accuracy, bring the insertion tube to an object as close as possible.

• Push the [MEAS/ENTER] joystick to proceed to the stereo measurement screen.

• Object distance is ceaselessly displayed in the stereo measurement screen.

PREPARATIONS FOR STEREO MEASUREMENT

SPOT RANGING — OBJECT DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

MEASUREMENT METHOD (MEASUREMENT MODE)

A DISTANCE

Distance mode is for measuring the line segment between two measurement points1. Place the cursor on one end of the line segment and press

MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify point A.2. Place the cursor on the other end of the line segment and press

MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify point B. The length of line segment A-B is displayed.

Point-to-Line and offset mode are for measuring the distance from a measurement point to the reference line defined by two points. In Offset mode, an offset line will additionally be displayed from the measurement point, in parallel to the reference line.1. Place the cursor on both ends of the line segment and press

MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify points A and B. Reference line A-B is shown.

2. Place the cursor on the point from which you want to measure the distance to reference line A-B and press MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify point C.

The distance between reference line A-B and point C (or Offset Line) is displayed. (Offset mode is only available for IPLEX FX models.)

B POINT-TO-LINEC OFFSET (FX only)

D DEPTH

Depth mode is for measuring the distance from a measurement point to the reference plane defined by three reference points.1. Place the cursor on points A, B and C to define the reference

plane, then press MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify points A, B and C.

Reference plane ABC is shown.2. Place the cursor on the point from which you want to measure the

distance to reference plane ABC and press MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify measurement point D.

The distance between reference plane ABC and point D is displayed. A positive value (height) means the point is closer to the tip of the scope than the reference plane, and a negative value (depth) means the point is farther away.

E AREA/LINES (FX only)

Area mode is for measuring the area defined by multiple measurement points. Lines mode is for measuring the total length of lines defined by multiple measurement points.1. Place the cursor on points to define the area/lines and press

MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify the measurement points. The total length of lines defined by multiple measurement points is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Note: Up to 20 measurement points can be specified per measurement session.

2. When measuring an area, one additional point must be positioned to define the complete subject outline. This point (point 6 in the example above) needs to be located where the line between this point and the last point (point 5) cross across the first drawn line.

The area enclosed by lines is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

F PROFILE (FX only)Profile mode is for displaying the surface profile of a line connecting two points.1. Place the cursor on both ends of the

line whose surface profile you want to inspect and press MEAS/ENTER on the joystick to specify the two points.

The surface profile obtained by sectioning a target object with the plane defined by the line connecting two specified points and the optical center is displayed. The surface profile graphics overlaid on the right screen show the profile viewed from the direction perpendicular to the optic axis.

G MULTI (FX only)

Multi mode automatically detects and displays the measurement values of a region specified by two reference points. The width, depth and surface area of any missing material will be measured.1. Place the cursor on each side of the material loss and press

[MEAS/ENTER] on the joystick to specify the reference points. The region of missing material will be drawn in the left and right screen. The width, depth and area dimension of missing material will be displayed at the bottom of screen.

SAVING YOUR STEREO MEASUREMENT RESULT
