Safety
In order to be able to use this product properly and safely, every user must first read these operating
instructions and observe the safety instructions contained therein. Take care of these operating
instructions and keep them in a place where they can be accessed by everyone. Untrained personnel
should not handle or operate this equipment.
CAUTION
: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in injury or
equipment damage.
This system includes some specific devices that have their own User Manuals. Instructions on those
manuals must be also read before using the system.
WARNING:
High Voltage
36
– 70 VDC.
If the equipment is powered from a
source other than an Eddyfi Technologies provided controller, the power supplied
to the product must have reinforced isolation from the mains with no reference to
earth ground.
Note:
We strongly recommend using gloves when handling the vehicle to reduce
pinching hazard.
WARNING:
Pinch Hazard
– The vehicle’s expand mechanism operates with
enough force to crush or severe appendages. Always power down the system
before handling the vehicle.
WARNING:
Intense Optical Radiation
- The Spectrum 45
™ camera lights and
801 auxiliary lights are extremely bright. Never look directly at the lights. Use a
welding filter (shade #8 or higher) if inspecting the LEDs.
•
When performing maintenance or functional checks of the lasers and camera lights, take
precautions to protect nearby personnel from unintended exposure which could be temporarily
blinding.
•
Observe safe lifting practices. For storage and shipping, the Versatrax 100
™ system is packed in
three parts: Controller, Vehicle, and Reel / Tether. Each of the three components is either built or
packed into a Pelican case with carrying handle. The heaviest case containing the tether and
mini-reel is equipped with wheels and extending handle like a suitcase.
•
Do not operate the system with damaged wires. A short circuit may damage the power system,
telemetry system, cameras, or attached equipment. Exposed wires may also create a shock
hazard.
•
Disconnect the power source before servicing the product; otherwise, damage may result.
