ActiveIO Wand Extension Pole Adapter

How to attach the ActiveIO Wand to an extension pole to calibration large spaces.

The extension pole Adapter Kit is used to attach the ActiveIO Wand to a standard extension pole to calibrate volumes that include high vertical spaces in a secure manner.

Components

The Adapter kit includes:

  • 1 Wand Adapter, with screw

  • 1 Black plastic sleeve

  • 2 metal pipe hangers

  • 2 screws

  • 2 bolts

  • 1 security cable

We tested the adapter using the 5-24 ft Long Telescoping Extension Pole from Extend-a-Reach. The Adapter should work with any standard extension pole used for painting or cleaning.

Secure the Battery Compartment

The adapter attaches to the ActiveIO Wand at the device's battery compartment, which must be secured to prevent it from unscrewing during use.

  1. Tighten the battery compartment cap as much as possible.

  2. Use a 0.050” Hex Key to tighten the set screw above the cap. See the image, below.

After tightening the cap, use the set screw to lock the cap in place.

Add the Sleeve

The Adapter Kit includes a small black sleeve that is used to hold the security strap in place.

Attach the Safety Strap

The safety strap is a cable that attaches to both the ActiveIO Wand and the extension pole. While it is important to ensure that the battery compartment and the extension pole are both screwed in tightly, the strap provides extra protection should the ActiveIO Wand separate from the extension pole during use.

Connect the Wand Adapter

The adapter has a screw hole on one end to hold the extension pole and connections for the ActiveIO Wand on the other.

  1. Slide the narrow end of the adapter onto the end of the wand battery cap, turning the adapter until the dowels lock into place.
