System assembly
The system can be setup in a large number of ways, depending on your survey requirements. This
section provides details on system assembly. You will as a minimum require an Allen key set and a
range of general purpose screwdrivers.
Warning! Before you assemble the system, switch off the controller.
Caution!
If using a generator, ensure that this is compatible with the 550c system. Refer to the
Generator Selection paragraph in the preface of this document for further information.
Caution!
Before attempting to assemble the system, ensure that the power is switched off.
Caution!
Check that all the link cables are connected as per instructions.
Caution!
Do not replace the C-Clamp modified screws (at rear of tractors and cameras) with standard
‘off the shelf’ screws, as these have not been designed to secure connection.
