Operation 

Pre-Operations Check 

Before each deployment of the 

TriTrax™ 200, ensure everything is completed on the following checklist. 

  Check that the work area has been safely set up.  

  Check that the line voltage available at the worksite matches the equipment setup.  

  Check that power and deck cable connections are correct.  

  Check 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 cam-

eras, lights, tracks, and the harness block.  

 

Visually inspect the vehicle and Microtracs™ 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, light, and laser ports are clean.  

  Check the 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.  

  Power up the system and check the following: 

  Check for sufficient SSD drive space for recording.  

  Check record directories are set. 

  Test video recording. 

  Test auxiliary lights. 

  Test track control. 

  Test camera control.
