Check all the system connectors.   

o

 

Try restarting ICON

™   

o

 

Listen for the track motors.  If the 

motors run but the track doesn’t turn there is a problem 

with the gearing or shaft pins. 

o

 

Try changing tracks.  (ICON will require a restart.) 

 

Track Raise will not move. 

o

 

Check the linkage between the top linkage and the encoder feedback 

o

 

Check the connector to the camera raise motor. 

o

 

Try restarting ICON. 

 

Reel Problems 

 

Tether distance does not read correctly. 

o

 

Check that the pressure wheel is pressing the tether against the payout sheave.  If the 
tether is being pulled up from the sheave instead of down, it may be disengaged from the 
sheave.   

o

 

Check that the units are set properly in the graphical overlay. 

o

 

Recalibrate distance encoder.   

o

 

Ensure that the correct COM port is selected in the control software. 

Maintenance 

Rinsing and Cleaning 

After every mission check to see if the vehicle needs cleaning.  

1.  If  the  system  has  been  used  in  salt  water,  thoroughly  rinse  the  vehicle  with  fresh  water  prior  to 

being  stored  away.  Accelerated  corrosion  will  result  if  the  inspection  system  is  not  rinsed 
properly.  Pay close attention to rinsing and cleaning the camera window, LED light dome and the 
spaces between moving parts and track belts. 

2.  Use  an  open  hose  or  tap  at  regular  water  line  pressure  for  rinsing.    Do  not  pressure  wash  the 

equipment 

– water will be forced into the camera at these high pressures.  

3.  Avoid scratching the camera port.  Use glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the port. 

CAUTION:

 Do not use a pressure washer to clean the camera. Very high-

pressure water can push past seals and flood the components resulting in 
electrical damage or personal injuries. 

Periodically: 

1.  Use a damp cloth or spray cleaner for the power supply / controller box.  The box must never be 

sprayed down or immersed in water.  Unplug the controller before cleaning. 

2.  For general cleaning of the cameras and tracks, use a mild detergent. 
3.  Clean the expansion lead screws using a mild degreaser and re-grease with Molykote G1502FM 

or similar grease.
