Power-ON Notes
The
ON
button must be held for approximately two seconds to allow the power relays time to latch on.
This also helps to prevent an accidental startup as it requires a deliberate action by the operator to turn
on. Upon start-up the alarm buzzer will sound briefly, and the system monitor lights will flash as the
system powers up. The
ON
button will be illuminated whenever the power supplies are on.
If the
ON
button is only briefly pushed the power relays will not latch. The panel will display a fault on
PS1, and the ON light will be off. If this happens press the
OFF
button and retry.
Power-OFF Notes
The OFF button will immediately cut power to the power supplies, vehicle, and Interface Box. The OFF
button may also be used as an emergency stop. During normal operation the vehicle should be brought to
a full stop with lights down before turning off the system power.
Pressing the OFF button while the vehicle is in full operation is hard on both vehicle electronics and
power supplies and may reduce the overall life of components.
Fiber Interface Box
The Fiber Interface rackmount box has been designed to support Ethernet and RS232 communication to
the Versatrax 300™ crawler.

Note:
Default factory setup includes routing RS-232 and Ethernet to the control PC from the back panel
of the Fiber Interface Box. RS-232 is converted to USB using FTDI (Future Technology Devices
International Ltd) model UT232R-200 Adapter Cable.
The UT232R adaptor drivers are available for download from:
