System Setup
Working and Storage Environment
The
ICON
™ Portable Controller
is to be used in a
dry, covered
environment only. These components
are not waterproof. Keep all cords and cables away from water. Read the
ICON Portable Controller
user
manual for more details.
The tether and vehicle are depth rated to 60 meters (200 feet) 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. The tracks are tolerant
to sandy and muddy conditions, although this decreases seal life. The vehicle may also be operated in dry
or dusty environments in the recommended operating temperature range of 0
˚C – 50 ˚C (32 ˚F – 122 ˚F).
The portable reel is splash resistant only.
System storage temperatures are between -20
˚C to 60 ˚C (-4 ˚F to 140 ˚F).
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 & Tether Connection
It is important that the tether be properly connected to the vehicle; otherwise, damage to the system may
result.
1. Connect the vehicle end of tether to the back of the harness block. Visually line up the key in the
connector before mating. Fully screw down and finger-tighten the locking collar. Do not use tools
to tighten the IE55 collar
– connector damage may occur if overtightened.
2. Verify the track and camera whips to their respective components are securely connected, and the
whips are free from damage.
Mini-Reel Setup
If your system includes a Mini-Reel, follow these steps to operate:
1. Remove the Mini-Reel from the shipping case.
2. Connect the deck cable from the reel to the Video Interface and Power Supply.
3. Connect the encoder deck cable from the reel to the Video Interface and Power Supply (if provided
with Mini-Reel).
