System Power
The
Magg™ 310 is operated through an ICON™ Portable Controller, or a Rackmount Interface Box.
These controllers provide power to the tether and vehicle.
Refer to the Controller User Manual for further details and power requirements.
If powering the
system from a generator or inverter, refer to that unit’s operating manual for
recommendations on continuous and peak load ratings. These power sources may apply a reduced
output rating based on electrical load and environmental temperature. Remember to include the power
needs of all other connected devices (external monitors, recording devices, lighting, etc.) when selecting
a generator or inverter.
Galvanic Corrosion Control
We strongly recommend cathodic protection whenever the vehicle is being deployed in a saltwater
environment, either submerged or in salt spray. We recommend
aluminum
marine anodes exclusively for
use with the inspection system. Aluminum anodes are common in the marine industry and are replacing
zinc anodes in many areas. For inspection systems that are often pulled in and out of salt water,
aluminum anodes are especially important, as zinc anodes tend to scale over when exposed to air and
may not reactivate when submerged again. An aluminum anode will always reactivate.
For permanent installations, it is required that the structure to which the system is mounted also be
protected by
aluminum
anodes. If the structure is of a dissimilar metal, the system mount must be
isolated from the structure. Do not mix anode types (zinc and aluminum) on the assembly. There must be
only one anode type throughout the structure. Avoid use of Magnesium anodes altogether.
ICON™ Portable Controller Connection
The
ICON™ Portable Controller supplies power to the tether and vehicle. It provides a communication
interface to the vehicle. It also provides video reception and distribution.
Refer to the Controller Setup section of the
ICON™ Portable Controller User Manual for more information.
Vehicle and Tether Connection
The tether and vehicle are depth rated to 60 m (200 ft) of water. The tether connector and track
connectors are dry-mate types which must be dry when making a connection. Keep the tether connector
capped with a dummy plug when not connected to the vehicle to help keep out dirt.
It is important that the tether be properly connected to the vehicle.
1. Connect the vehicle end of the tether to the back of the harness block. Visually line up the key in
the connector before mating. Fully screw down and hand tighten the locking collar.
2. Verify the track and camera whips from the harness block to their respective components are
securely connected, and the whips are free from damage.
