Caution:
High Temperature
- Both the integrated harness block and the 801 lights may become
extremely hot during operation. Always wear protective gloves when handling these parts of the
vehicle after they have been in use.
•
Caution: Intense Optical Radiation
- The 8
01 lights and Spectrum™ camera lights are
extremely bright. Never look directly at the lights or even from a shallow angle. Always use a
welding filter (shade #8 or higher) when inspecting the LEDs.
•
Caution: Pinching Hazard
- There is a possib
ility that one’s fingers could be drawn into the
tracks should they be activated when the vehicle is being handled, or they may be pinched or
severed by the expand mechanism. To avoid this hazard do not connect the tether to the
portable controller until the vehicle is configured, placed, and ready to use. If the vehicle is being
tested, do not connect the tether until handling of the vehicle is complete. If the vehicle is
permanently installed onto a van or trailer and the tether cannot be disconnected, turn off the
power.
•
Establish a communication protocol between the person handling the vehicle and the operator at
the computer. It is the operator’s responsibility to check and ask if it is safe to power up the
vehicle or initiate movement.
System Setup
Working Environment
The
control rack
(computer, power supply, interface box) are to be used in a
dry, covered
environment
only. These components are not waterproof. Keep all cords and cables away from water. The
recommended controller and power supply operating
temperatures are between 0˚C - 40˚C (32˚F -
104˚F).
The
tether and vehicle
are depth rated to 60 meters (200 feet)
of water. The tether connector is a dry-
mate type which must be dry when connected to the vehicle. Keep the tether connector capped with a
dummy plug when not connected to the vehicle to help keep out dirt. The tracks are tolerant to sand and
muddy conditions, although this decreases seal life. The vehicle may also be operated in dry or dusty
environments in the recommended operating temperature range of 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F).
The
winch
and portable reel are splash resistant only. Refer to the winch or reel manual.
System
storage temperatures
are between -20
˚C - 60˚C (-4˚F - 140˚F).

Power Requirements
The power requirements given below are maximums for a fully configured system with cable reel. For
use with 110VAC source, a fully
configured Versatrax™ system requires three independent standard 15-
Amp circuits for power, or one 20-Amp and one 15-Amp circuits as follows.
