1.
Vehicle won’t steer or vehicle runs backward.
•
Tracks set to the wrong positions
•
Track reverse setting incorrect in control software
•
Node ID conflict between one or more devices on the vehicle
•
Magnets may be positioned too close to the steel surface
2. Tracks will not run.
•
Magnets may be too close to the steel surface
•
Check the track current feedback (See ICON
™ manual)
o
If current is at 100% and the vehicle
doesn’t move, then the tracks may be jammed. They
could be wedged on an object or jammed with sand. Try reversing the tracks to clear
debris. If a jam will not clear you will have to recover the vehicle by pulling it out with the
tether.
o
If no current is registered, then power or communication is not getting to the tracks.
Check all the cable connections.
•
Try power cycling the system
•
Inspect the vehicle wiring for damage
•
Check all the system connectors
•
Try restarting ICON
•
Listen for the track motors. If t
he motors run but the track doesn’t turn there is a problem with the
gearing or shaft pins
•
Try changing tracks and update serial number configuration (ICON will require a restart)
Tether Reel Issues
1. Tether distance does not read correctly.
•
Check that the pressure wheel is pressing the tether against the payout sheave. If the tether is
being pulled up from the sheave instead of down, it may be disengaged from the sheave
•
Check that the units are set properly in the graphical overlay
•
Recalibrate distance encoder
•
Ensure that the correct COM port is selected in the control software
2. Intermittent problems with vehicle or camera, only when reel is turning
•
Slip ring may be damaged. Use a multi-meter to check continuity of the tether with reel drum
turning
