questions on any part of this operating manual.
Reliable and trained staff should only be authorised to work with the equipment.
All users of the equipment must have undergone training by the manufacturer to operate and
control the system.
The equipment must not be used for purposes other than those intended. Silverwing (UK) Ltd
assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from such improper usage.
The equipment must not be modified. In case of modifications the customer takes all
responsibility for any incidents due to such modifications.

DANGER!
The Floormap3Di system is designed for a specific use. Using the
Floormap3Di system outside of its intended use is dangerous.
Severe injury or death could result. Read and understand this
operating manual before use.
CAUTION!
MAGNETIC MATERIAL. Due to magnetic material, consult IATA
documentation before air shipping.
WARNING!
MAGNETIC MATERIAL. The Floormap3Di contains strong magnets
that produce an extremely strong magnetic field which may cause
failure or permanent damage to items such as watches, memory
devices, CRT monitors, and medical or other electronics devices.
WARNING!
PERSONEL SAFETY. Tools, magnets, and metal objects can cut,
pinch, or entrap hands and fingers. HANDLE WITH CARE. People
with pacemakers or ICD’s must stay at least 2m (79’’) away.
WARNING!
Damage to the Floormap3Di and/or cables during or prior to use
may cause explosion or fire.
More specific information about user training, qualification, certification and test specifications can
be obtained from technical societies, industry groups and government agencies.
MFL systems interpret a leaking field and any influencing factors that affect this leaking field must
be understood and factored into the inspection process. In order to maintain detection
capabilities, it must be understood that as plate thickness increases, the detection sensitivity
must increase. As the detection sensitivity increases, the likelihood of spurious defects increases
accordingly.
It must also be understood that MFL is one of the many available NDT inspection techniques. To
improve the accuracy and confidence of any inspection it is important to incorporate the use of
other NDT techniques such as Pit Gauging and Ultrasonic Testing (the limitations of these
techniques must also be understood).
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) aims to
minimise the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment by increasing
re-use and recycling and by reducing the amount of WEEE going to landfill. It seeks to
achieve this by making producers responsible for financing the collection, treatment, and
recovery of waste electrical equipment, and by obliging distributors to allow consumers to
return their waste equipment free of charge.
Silverwing (UK) Ltd offers its customers the possibility of returning unused and obsolete
equipment for correct disposal and recycling. The Dustbin Symbol indicates that when the
last user wishes to discard this product, it must be sent to appropriate facilities for
recovery and recycling. By not discarding this product along with other household-type
waste, the volume of waste sent to incinerators or landfills will be reduced and natural
resources will be conserved.
The European Union’s RoHS (“Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances”)
Directive (2002/95/EC) came into effect on July 1, 2006. All of the systems manufactured
by Silverwing (UK) Ltd fall under Category 9, Measurement and Control Equipment.
Currently this category is exempt from RoHS compliance until at least 2018, when it and
other exemptions will be reviewed. Regardless of this, all products manufactured by
Silverwing (UK) Ltd are compliant with the RoHS Directive.
On receipt of the system, carefully check it for any damage that may have occurred during
shipping. The transport company is responsible for damage that occurs during transport. If there
appears to be damage, carefully inspect the system components for any further damage and
check that all components correspond to the packing list. In the event of damage, notify the
transport company immediately and keep the packaging as evidence. A full report describing the
damage in detail must be submitted to the Transport Company and serves as the basis for the
damage claim.
Damage or loss of goods delivered must be reported immediately to Silverwing (UK) Ltd and
confirmed by a copy of the above-mentioned report. If the operating manual is removed, do not
lose or misplace.
3.2 Unpacking
The Floormap3Di system is packaged in a black transit case. Care should be taken when
unpacking the Floormap3Di system, any markings or warnings shown on the packaging should
be observed prior to opening. The following steps should then be taken:
Unpack the Floormap3Di system in a dry area.
If a knife is used to remove packaging care should be taken not to damage the Floormap3Di
system or cables.
Check the contents of the Floormap3Di system against the packing list supplied and any
missing items are to be reported immediately.
The package and contents of the Floormap3Di system should be checked for signs of
damage during transport and any problems reported immediately.
Silverwing (UK) Ltd accepts no responsibility for damage or injury caused during the
unpacking of the system supplied.
CAUTION!
FOUR MAN LIFT. Lift the Floormap3Di transit cases at its four
handles with the aid of 4 people. Alternatively a forklift can be
used.
Each component of the Floormap3Di system must be correctly packed into the correct transit
case. Refer to the supplied packing list.
The large black transit case is designed to hold the Floormap3Di system and mounted to the
base of the transit case is a keep plate. When packing the Floormap3Di scanner the magnetic
bridge must be in contact with the keep plate.
CAUTION!
FINGER CRUSH. The magnetic bridge contains strong
magnets that produce an extremely strong magnetic
field which could cause entrapment of hands and
fingers. HANDLE WITH CARE.
If the Floormap3Di system is to be shipped elsewhere, the original packaging and transport
protection inserts MUST be used.
CAUTION!
MAGNETIC MATERIAL. Due to magnetic material,
consult IATA documentation before air shipping.
3.4 Storage
