The Versatrax™ controller is designed to support our tracks, cameras, and lights. Powering other
devices or equipment off the Versatrax controller is not recommended.
Generators / Inverters
If powe
ring 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 any other connected devices (external monitors, recording devices, lighting, etc.) when selecting
a generator or inverter.
Video Hook-Up
The external video connectors on your Versatrax system use RCA style video jacks similar to most
monitors and video equipment. An RCA style video cable has been supplied with the controller. Some
industrial monitors may use a BNC style video jack. An RCA to BNC adapter has been supplied for this
purpose.
Video from your Versatrax controller may be connected directly to the video input of a television, or other
recording device.
Please refer to your television or recording device owner’s manual.
Winch Installation
If your system includes an AC powered winch, refer to the winch manual for installation instructions.
Auxiliary Device
There is provision in the Versatrax system to allow add-on devices such as a rear facing camera, sonar,
or other vehicle electronics. A twisted pair in the tether is reserved for telemetry from this device. The
controller must be configured by setting a dip switch on the main control PCB (see Figure 4 below). The
standard configuration is to use this twisted pair for the rear camera.
•
If the vehicle has a second camera, set the auxiliary dip switch to t
he position marked “rear
video”. This is the default position shipped from the factory. The switch must be in this position
in order to receive video from a secondary camera.
•
If the spare conductors are to be used by other devices, such as sonar or on-board sensors, the
switch must be set to the position marked “spare cond.” This will route the signals to the
“Desktop Controller” connector on the controller.
