Vehicle Problems
1. Vehicle runs backward.
•
Track reverse setting incorrect in control software.
•
Node ID conflict between one or more devices on the vehicle.
2. Tracks will not run.
•
Try power cycling the system.
•
Inspect the vehicle wiring for damage.
•
Check all the system connectors.
•
Try restarting ICON
™.
•
Listen for the track motors. If the motors run but the track doesn’t turn there is a problem with the
gearing or shaft pins.
•
Try changing tracks and update serial number configuration (ICON will require a restart).
Reel Problems
1. Tether distance does not read correctly.
•
Check that the pressure wheel is pressing the tether against the payout sheave. If the tether is
being pulled up from the sheave instead of down, it may be disengaged from the sheave.
•
Check that the units are set properly in the graphical overlay.
•
Recalibrate distance encoder.
•
Ensure that the correct COM port is selected in the control software.
2. Intermittent problems with vehicle or camera, only when reel is turning.
•
Slip ring may be damaged. Use a multi-meter to check continuity of the tether with reel drum
turning.
