Operation
Pre-Operations Check
Before each deployment of the Versatrax™ system, ensure everything is completed on the following
checklist:
❑
Verify that the work area has been safely set up.
❑
Verify that the line voltage available at the worksite matches the equipment setup.
❑
Verify that power and deck cable connections are correct.
❑
Verify the vehicle for the following:
Check that the vehicle is in the correct configuration for the deployment.
Check the vehicle for mechanical damage to the chassis or cable harnesses which could affect its
operation.
Ensure that all fasteners are in place and secure. In particular, check the fasteners holding on
cameras, lights, tracks and tow cable.
Visually inspect the vehicle and
Minitracs™ to ensure that the moving parts are free of debris and
functional. Make sure the track belt is free of debris and turns freely.
Check the tether and vehicle whips for damage.
Ensure camera viewports are clean.
Check the 901 light fins for fouling
Optional Components
- Check that the screw on the automatic camera raise has been well
lubricated.
❑
Check the winch/reel for the following:
Check that nothing will block movement of the level wind shuttle.
Check that the tether has no loose, dangling coils. Dangling coils can propagate as the drum
rotates and have the potential to jump the drum. Take care of these before deploying the tether.
WINCH - Check that no objects, tools, etc., have fallen into the winch mechanism around the chain
and drum.
WINCH - Check that the drum lock is disengaged and latched open. (Models with a disk brake do
not have the drum lock pin.)
WINCH - Ensure that the drive clutch moves freely and is operational.
❑
Power up the system and check the following:
Check for sufficient SSD drive space for recording.
Check record directories are set.
Check video quality and camera control functions.
Test video recording.
Test main lights.
Test track control.
Verify automatic camera raise is zeroed.
Optional Components
- verify operation of other optional components.
