Post-Operations Check 

A Post-Ops inspection should be carried out after every deployment using the following checklist:  

  Inspect the tether for damage as it is reeled in.   

  Visually inspect vehicle for entrained debris or mechanical damage.   

  Test each function to ensure proper operation. 

  Clean the system by hosing it down with water at regular line pressure.  Do not pressure wash.  The 

tracks may be cleaned off by hosing them down while running.  If the system has been used in salt 
water, thoroughly rinse the vehicle with fresh water right away.   

 

Optional Components

 - Locate the automatic camera raise height at 80mm (3.1 inches) from its home 

position for packing into the plastic shipping case. 

  Take time to pack the system properly for transport away from the worksite.   

  Store the system in a dry environment. 

Note:

  

Ensuring the Versatrax™ system is always stored in good working condition will minimize 

deployment time for future inspections. 

Caution:

  Use regular water line pressure to rinse.  Do not use a pressure washer.  The high-pressure 

water jet can push past the seals.   

Power-Up Sequence 

After all wiring connections have been made, the system may be powered up.  The recommended 
sequence for power-up is as follows: 

1.  Power up the control computer and allow time for it to fully boot.   
2.  Switch on the Interface Box. 
3.  Turn on the Vehicle Power Supply. 
4.  Start the ICON (Inuktun Control) control program. 

ICON always begins with identification of attached system components (cameras, tracks, etc.).  If vehicle 
power is turned on after ICON is started, the system will not function until ICON is closed and restarted.   

Ground Fault Detection & Alarms 

 

The front of the power supply includes power on and off buttons as well as status indicators.  The ON 
button and status indicators will light green during normal operation.  The two red fault indicators may 
light momentarily during startup and shut down; this is normal.
