VT300 Chassis Track Extensions
–
Refer to assembly drawing ADBH007493.
The above photo shows a chassis with the track extension plates installed. The plates simply bolt onto
the mechanism brackets using #¼-20 x 5/8in socket cap screws. The tracks then bolt onto the extension
plates as they normally would on the chassis. The extension plates raise the vehicle 2.7
” for greater
ground clearance.
Please note that with extensions the indicated pipe sizes no longer read correctly and the conversion
table mentioned in this manual must be used.
Wire Harness Routing
There are numerous different configurations and accessories which must be accommodated by the
VT300
™ chassis. In turn the wiring harness must be similarly flexible. Of equal importance is protection of
the cables from stretching, twisting, chafing and getting caught in the pipe. To accomplish this the
harness is composed of individual component whips and routed via a special cable pathway though the
length of the vehicle. This is illustrated in the two figures below.
Starting from the back of the vehicle and working forward:
•
Two telemetry cables connect the tether termination can with the telemetry can. These are routed
through the rear hinge pass-through and connect on the top of the telemetry can.
•
The rear camera whip follows the same route through the rear hinge and plugs into the connector
face. This same whip will plug into the Sonde/camera unit whenever it is installed.
•
All remaining whips for vehicle functions connect to the back face of the telemetry can, bend
(around the top) and enter the rear cable trough.
•
The illustration below shows the connector locations on the telemetry can.
•
All connectors are equipped with a locking collar which must be screwed down finger-tight.
•
A tie-wrap is placed at the trough exit to hold the cable bundle down. The tie-wrap can be
anchored around the top row of connectors.
