ICON™ Portable Controller Connection 

The ICON™ Portable Controller supplies power to the tether and vehicle. It provides a communication 
interface to the vehicle.  It also provides video reception and distribution. 

Refer to the Controller Setup section of the ICON Portable Controller User Manual for more information.  

Interface Box Connection 

To set up an PC based control system with an Interface box, do the following; 

Set-up: 

1.  Connect the interface box to AC power using an equipment power cord.   

2.  Connect the tether (or reel deck cable).  

3.  Connect the communication port to the control computer using a USB cable.  

4.  Connect video equipment as needed (monitors, recording devices, etc).  

a.  Front camera:  Top row RCA jacks A, B, C. 

b.  Rear camera:  Bottom row RCA jacks D, E, F. 

The interface box may be ordered with optional features such as video capture to USB or video format 
conversion. Additional connectors may be present on the rear center panel of the enclosure.
