Operation
Pre-Operations Check
Before each deployment of the Versatrax™ system, ensure everything is completed on the following
checklist:
❑
Check that the work area has been safely set up.
❑
Check that the line voltage available at the worksite matches the equipment setup.
❑
Check that power and deck cable connections are correct.
❑
Check the vehicle for the following:
Check that the vehicle is in the correct configuration for the deployment.
Check the vehicle for mechanical damage to the chassis or cable harnesses which could affect its
operation.
Ensure that all fasteners are in place and secure. In particular, check the fasteners holding on
cameras, lights, tracks and tow cable.
Visually inspect the vehicle and
Microtracs™ to ensure that the moving parts are free of debris and
functional. Make sure the track belt is free of debris and turns freely.
Check the tether and vehicle whips for damage.
Ensure camera viewports are clean.
Check the 801 lights are clean and operational
Check that the lead screws on the raise mechanism have been well lubricated.
❑
Check the winch/reel for the following:
Check that nothing will block movement of the level wind shuttle.
Check that the tether has no loose, dangling coils. Dangling coils can propagate as the drum
rotates and have the potential to jump the drum. Take care of these before deploying the tether.
❑
Power up the system and check the following:
Check for enough SSD drive space for recording.
Check record directories are set.
Check video quality and camera control functions.
Test video recording.
Test main lights.
Test track control.
