1. Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of injury or damage, read these safety instructions carefully and

keep them at hand when setting up, using, and maintaining this instrument.

•The instrument weighs about 7.5 kg. Always use the handle to carry the instrument. When

transporting the instrument longer distances, use the case.

•This instrument is not a toy. Do not sit or stand on this instrument. Do not place anything

on top of this instrument (except a power bank).

•Do not turn the instrument while standing. The rubber ring of the rear wheel could slip off

the wheel and jam it.

•You may use a power bank any time, but do not start a measurement while an USB cable

is plugged.

•Make sure that the instrument can move along the entire path without obstruction. Do

not start a measurement while the instrument is placed on a table or a place where it

could fall down.

•Do not touch the wheels, especially the driven front wheels while the instrument is mov-

ing.

•The instrument can be operated on wet surfaces. However, avoid standing water and

splash water. Never moisten the top side of the test foot (see page 21) and do not sub-

merge the test foot.

•To avoid wheel slip, clean the wheels’ rubber rings before starting a measurement. Use a

cloth dampened with water or a mild cleaning detergent.

•The wheels’ rubber rings are made of a special anti-slip material. As they leave marks on

the surface, put the instrument back in its case after use.

•Clean the instrument with a cloth dampened with water or a mild cleaning agent.

•Store and operate this instrument in suitable environments only. The operating conditions

are listed on page 33.

•For instructions on the test foot, see page 21.

•Do not open the instrument. Contact your distributor in case of damage or failure.

Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste; use separate

collection facilities. Contact your local authority for information regarding the col-

lection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or

dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food

chain, damaging your health and well-being. When replacing old appliances with new ones,

the retailer is legally obliged to take back your old appliance for disposal at least free of charge.

2. Introduction

The TRACSCAN 2.0 instrument is a measuring instrument for precise testing of the static

(SCOF) and dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) of walkway surfaces.

The instrument supports a range of methods for both wet and dry testing. It is equipped with

a thermal printer that can be used to print out measurement results and all parameters. For

later retrieval or print out, the instrument stores all measurements in a data archive.

This manual describes how to operate and maintain the instrument. It also describes the Trac-

Man software. This software allows data retrieval from the instrument’s data archives and

supports firmware updates for the instrument.

The terms, concepts and abbreviations used throughout this manual are explained in the

[Glossary].



Before use, please charge the internal battery using the enclosed battery charger.

Charge until the LED light to the right of the charging port turns solid green. This can

take up to 12 hours. When the charging light is flashing green, the unit is below its

full charge.

3. Quick Guide

1. Select Measurement Location and Prepare Instrument

Choose your location based on the measurement task. Ensure that all drive wheels are dry

and free of dust or sand. Clean the wheels with a damp cloth and dry them before staring

a measurement.

2. Select and Prepare Test Foot

Depending on the measurement task, select the right test foot (SBR. leather, etc.). If nec-

essary, prepare the test foot (see section [Preparation] on how and why to prepare the

test foot). Insert the prepared test foot in the underside of the instrument.

3. Prepare Test Path

If a wet measurement shall be taken, create a wet test path with enough width and length

for the entire test distance. For details refer to the requirements of the method, see sec-

tion [3.6.4].

4. Place Instrument

Place the instrument on the walkway surface / test tile, pointing in the desired direction.

Ensure that the instrument can move along the entire path without obstruction.

5. Start Measurement

Start the measurement by pressing button1 or button 2.

Start program 1; default is: DCOF, 15 cm, scale NFSI B101.3

Start program 2, default is: SCOF, 5 samples, scale NFSI B101.1

6. Optional Location Code

If the location code feature is enabled, the user is prompted to enter a location code that

identifies the measurement location. See section [3.5] for the location code feature.

7. Optional Paper Printout

Once the measurement has been completed, press the Print button to print out the meas-

urement results.

Print results from most recent measurement.

8. Remove Test Foot and Put Back Instrument

In order to protect the instrument and the test foot from damage, remove the test foot from

the instrument after use.

The wheels’ rubber rings are made of a special anti-slip material. As they leave marks on the

surface, put the instrument back in its case.

4.1. Overview

Figure 1: TRACSCAN Top View

Operating Manual TRACSCAN 2.0

V2.0, 2022-05 9 / 36

4.1.1. Control Panel

The control panel comprises the battery charging indicator LED, the display and 4 buttons to

operate the instrument. If the instrument is off, the buttons have the following functions:

Start program 1, see section [3.6.4] for default settings and how to change them

Start program 2, see section [3.6.4] for default settings and how to change them

Print results from most recent measurement, see section [3.6.5] for default setting

and how to change them

Open the main menu for program and instrument settings, see section [3.6]

To avoid unintended operation, a button has to be pressed for 2 seconds at least.

During operation, the functions of the buttons depend on the current context, i.e., will have

different functions. For details, see section [3.6.1].

4.1.2. Case

The TRACSCAN 2.0 is shipped in a robust case. The case offers space for the instrument and

all accessories.

4.2. Licensing

If the device is only available on a trial basis, measurements cannot be taken if the period of

operation expires. Contact your distributor to obtain a license key for unlimited operation.

4.3. Charging

The TRACSCAN 2.0 is fitted with a rechargeable battery. A standard USB A/B cable and charger

is included for recharging the battery, see section [9] for technical data.

The charging time with the included charger is up to 12 hours. The instrument has an overload

protection, but it is best not to leave the charger plugged in after the light has turned solid

green (1 to 2 days maximum). This will extend the battery life.

Any standard USB power bank can be connected even during operation, both charging the

battery and extending the operation time.

The LED next to the battery symbol on the control panel shows the charging state:

Color Meaning

Solid Green: Battery fully charged

Blinking Green: Charging

Solid Red: Battery or charging fault, see section [7]

Table 1: Battery Charging LED

4.4. Printing

The instrument is equipped with a thermal printer. It can be used to print out all instrument

and program parameters as well as the measurement results on an individual basis.
