Vehicle Problems
•
Vehicle won’t steer or vehicle runs backward.
o
Tracks set to the wrong positions.
o
Track reverse setting incorrect in control software.
o
Node ID conflict between one or more devices on the vehicle.
•
Tracks will not run.
o
Check the track current feedback (See ICON manual).
▪
If current is at 100% and the vehicle doesn’t move, then the tracks may be jammed.
They could be wedged on an object or jammed with sand. Try reversing the tracks
to clear debris. If a jam will not clear you will have to recover the vehicle by pulling
it out with the tether.
▪
If no current registers, then power or communication is not getting to the tracks.
Check all the cable connections.
o
Try power cycling the system.
o
Inspect the vehicle wiring for damage.
o
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.
