Saf ty Instructions

•Protect all arts from moisture, dust, frost and

shock! Handle with care!

•Do not o en the device! Only RINNTECH or

authorized ersons are allowed to re air the device

•Do not over-bend or fold the cables

•After finishing your measurement remove the ins

from the tree to avoid injuries of others.

•Never use the sensors to remove the attached ins

from the tree.

•Use the charger delivered with the device only.

•Use the charger it dry rooms only, never outside.

•In case of emergency: Set the main switch off.

•Never short circuit the battery!

ARBOTOM

- Manual 6

Pl as notic :

Due to the hysical ro erties and anatomy of wood,

tomograms as a result of runtime measurements are

in their recision and informational value limited

reconstructions of the inner mechanical condition of

the tree. They should therefore not be used as sole

base of decision for evaluating the stability of a cross-

section but should rather be used in combination with

other data collected at the tree or construction.

How do s th ARBOTOM

work?

Th ARBOTOM

is an impuls tomograph and is d v lop d for ass ssm nt of th int rior stat of

tr s. It will giv an insight to tr s and should only b us d by qualifi d tr - xp rts. It is bas d on

th principl of str ss wav timing. Impuls v lociti s within th wood ar highly corr lat d with th

d nsity of th mat rial and can th r for b us d to gath r information on its quality. D ns wood

transmits str ss wav s b tt r than wood that is damag by d cay or cracks. To g t th b st r sults

possibl , th us r should hav v ry good knowl dg about wood-anatomy.

Each ARBOTOM

-s nsor is quipp d with a vibrom t r and l ctronic r gulation for dir ct r al-tim

analysis of incoming impuls s. Simply hitting th s nsors with a hamm r g n rat s th str ss wav s

trav ling through th wood. Th tim th str ss wav s trav l b tw n th s nsors is r cord d and

transf rr d into v lociti s.

Gath ring th impuls v lociti s in a matrix allows th m to b pr s nt d as a lin or surfac graphic.

D p nding on th numb r and position of th ARBOTOM

-s nsors, two dim nsional as w ll as thr -

dim nsional scans can b p rform d.

ARBOTOM

- Manual 8

What is includ d in th

Syst m?

Th ARBOTOM

consists of

•S nsors (typically 4-24)

•Batt ry pack

•Charg r

•Conn cting cabl s (b tw n th s nsors)

•Main cabl (b tw n Batt ry Pack and 1

s nsor)

•Acc ssori s: S nsor pins, hamm r, pli rs

•Cabl conn ction b tw n Batt ry Pack and

Not book Wir l ss conn ction possibl

Additionally you will n d a portabl p rsonal comput r

including th ARBOTOM

–softwar to r cord th

tomography data and to r pr s nt th m in a tabl or

graphi

S nsors

Th ARBOTOM

-s nsors ar lit rally th “brain” of th whol syst m. B sid s th vibrom t r th y

contain th proc ssing units to digitiz and int rpr t th signals. In practic th s nsors ar conn ct d

in a lin . Th r for , ach s nsor has two sock ts for th conn cting cabl s.

You should not : Th us r can choos th numb r of s nsors in us . Thus, d p nding on your task,

you should s l ct th ad quat numb r of s nsors.

Th s nsors ar attach d to th tr by st l pins via th holding d vic . At th front you will notic

th shock bolt. Whil m asuring th impuls wav s ar induc d into th tr via th shock bolts.

IMPORTANT: N v r hit any oth r part of th ARBOTOM

Batt ry Pack

Impuls tomography r quir s basic voltag . This will b suppli d by th batt ry pack. B for starting

th m asuring proc ss, switch th batt ry pack on .

Aft r a f w hours of us , th batt ry pack must b r charg d. Pl as mak sur that th voltag is

high nough at th b ginning of your m asur m nts. You can ch ck th charg via th charg

indicator at th batt ry pack. Switch th batt ry pack off wh n r charging it, or wh n not in us .

IMPORTANT: Th batt ry pack also has to b r charg d from tim to tim wh n not in us . W

r comm nd ch cking th batt ry charg condition v ry month and r charging if th

charg is too low.

Charg r

Th charg r provid s 13,7V DC. Th tim n c ssary for a compl t charging proc ss is 12-14 hours. If

th batt ry is just partly discharg d, th charging tim is corr spondingly short r. Only use the

charger that was delivered with the device. Other chargers may cause serious damage to

the battery.

Conn cting cabl s

Th s nsors ar conn ct d with ach oth r in asc nding ord r. Th long cabl conn cts th batt ry

pack with th first s nsor. Pl as not th marks for in- and output at th s nsors. For th V rsion 5

S nsors, th plug at th right sid of th shock bolt is always th input. Th plug at th l ft sid of th

s nsor hold r is always th output plug. For th V rsion 3 S nsors, th plug n ar th shock bolt is th

input plug, th plug n ar th s nsor hold r is th output plug.

IMPORTANT:

N v r ov r-b nd or fold th cabl s. Th cabl s ar for conn cting th s nsors among ach oth r and

for conn ction th Batt ry Pack with th s nsor-chain only. Do not conn ct th cabl s dir ctly to th

comput r as this could harm th s nsors or th comput r.

To conn ct your PC/laptop with th ARBOTOM

pl as us th s rial cabl . And conn ct it with th

s rial port of your comput r. In cas your PC is not quipp d with a USB-port only, pl as us an

adaptor cabl to conn ct th s rial output of your PC with th USB input of your PC. This adaptor

cabl can b purchas d in a comput r stor or via RINNTECH. You can also conn ct th ARBOTOM

and your comput r via wir l ss conn ction if your comput r has got a Blu tooth

-port.
