TRANSPORTER CONTROLLER
OPERATIONS
First make sure that the power has been turned off.
Then make all the necessary electrical connections
including the camera. Attach the tow cables and
ensure that the TV cable has at least three or four
inches of slack when the tow cables are taut. Set the
transporter into the pipeline and power up the system.
To move the WTR III transporter, gently turn the
speed control clockwise. When you intend to advance
at full throttle, gently accelerate to speed. This helps
to reduce wear on the motor and other electrical
components. When you stop moving forward, you
are in freewheel forward.
When changing from forward to reverse freewheel,
allow the transporter to come to a complete stop
before moving in the opposite direction. After the
transporter has stopped, switch the controller to
reverse, advance the control knob clockwise for about
two seconds to disengage the clutch. The transporter
is now ready to freewheel. Now you can use your
winch or reel to pull the transporter back towards the
control point and entry manhole. To use the power
reverse, gently turn the speed control clockwise.
NOTE: The WTR III was not designed to plow
through heavy grease or other obstructions. Damage
to the equipment will result from improper use.
MAINTENANCE
The WTR III transporter is a sensitive piece of
electronic equipment. Power surges and abrupt shut
downs can cause it to fail. We strongly suggest that
you keep your mobile generator properly adjusted.
The generator should deliver a steady 110 to 120
volts. Should the Engineering Panel indicate that your
generator is operating outside these guidelines, see
your Generator Manual for the proper adjustments
or contact authorized service personnel.
The camera and transporter
must
be cleaned
with detergent and water after each day of use.
After cleaning your WTR III, oil the tracks with chain
lubricant. This will keep the tracks clean, functional
and well protected from the outside environment.
Verify that the chain tension is correct. Refer to
P/N’s TX324 and TX325 in the BOM section of this
manual for more information.
Before operating your WTR III, always check the
cables coming out of the motor housing. Look for cuts
or worn areas. If wear on the cables is discovered, the
cables should be repaired or replaced immediately.
Do not operate the WTR III transporter with worn
or cut cables. NOTE: Do not use tape or cable ties
to secure the tow cables to the motor transmission
module. Verify that there is proper strain relief
between the main cable to the transporter cable.
Adjust as necessary.
Never remove the cover from the motor or
controller. Each of these areas contains delicate
electronic components.
Opening any of these areas
will result in the warranty being voided.
