System Setup
Working and Storage Environment
The ICON™Portable Controller is to be used in a dry, covered environment only. These components
are not waterproof. Keep all cords and cables away from water. Read the ICON Portable Controller user
manual for more details.
The tether and vehicle are depth rated to 60 meters (200 feet) of water. The tether connector and track
connectors are dry-mate types which must be dry when making a connection. 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 sandy 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 – 50 ˚C (32 ˚F –122 ˚F).
The portable reel is splash resistant only.
System storage temperatures are between -20 ˚C to 60 ˚C (-4 ˚F to 140 ˚F).
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.
Vehicle & Tether Connection
It is important that the tether be properly connected to the vehicle; otherwise, damage to the system may
result.
1. Connect the vehicle end of tether to the back of the harness block. Visually line up the key in the
connector before mating. Fully screw down and finger-tighten the locking collar. Do not use tools
to tighten the IE55 collar –connector damage may occur if overtightened.
2. Verify the track and camera whips to their respective components are securely connected, and the
whips are free from damage.
Mini-Reel Setup
If your system includes a Mini-Reel, follow these steps to operate:
1. Remove the Mini-Reel from the shipping case.
2. Connect the deck cable from the reel to the Video Interface and Power Supply.

Onyx Skid Brush Adjustment
The Onyx camera skid uses looped nylon cord which act as flexible skids. The flexible structure allows the
skid to pass obstacles and around corners in the small, confined pipe which may not be possible with hard,
fixed skids. In addition, the nylon loops can be easily resized or replaced. The following procedure
describes how to make new bristles for the guide brushes to adapt to any specific size.
Brushes may be custom fit using the following procedure:
1. Cut nylon line to length as outlined below or as needed for a specific size pipe.
2. Melt one end of the trimmer line ~1/8" [3mm] with a small torch, lighter or candle.
3. Blunt the melted end with a flat-head screwdriver.
4. Thread the line from inside the sleeve.
5. Form a loop and thread back through sleeve.
6. Blunt the second end to secure the nylon wire.
7. The finished camera skid must be loose in the pipe as illustrated or it will be too hard for the vehicle
to push. Test the fit in a sample pipe before deployment.

4. For unified integration, the Onyx camera head is supplied with an IE55 termination adapter which
allows it to plug into the interconnect cable on the front track. Ensure the adapter is fully screwed
onto the camera body. Attach the camera to the interconnect cable on the front track.
5. Power up the system so the operator can observe the video on the screen.
6. Place the Onyx camera into the skid with the face flush with the front of the skid. Rotate the
camera so the image is level. Install the top half of the two-part skid body using M3x12mm
socket cap screws. Avoid over-tightening these screws because they are anchored in plastic.
7. For 3½ - 4-inch pipe [90-102mm] add the spacer block IPN3089256 between the skid and skid
mount, as illustrated below. This will help reduce the up/down torque on the camera skid caused
by level mis-match between the skid and push link, which is always at the same level at the
bottom of the pipe.

Operation
Tether Handling
The tether is one of the most important parts of the system. It feeds power and control signals to the
system and returns data to the controller. If the tether is damaged from: improper use, poor handling or an
accident, the system may become inoperable. This could lead to significant downtime, loss of production,
and avoidable costly repairs. It is encouraged to stress the importance of the tether and its use to anyone
operating or maintaining the equipment. For maximum tether life and reliability, we recommend the following
tether handling tips.
•Do not crush the tether by stepping on it.
•Never allow anyone to drive over the tether!
•Do not bend the tether beyond its minimum bend radius
•Do not kink the tether
•Do not snap load the tether
•Avoid loading the tether whenever possible
•Always use the Kellems grip strain relief if applicable to your system
•Regularly inspect the tether for damage
•Regularly clean the tether
Note:
Protecting the conductors inside the tether is critical to the life and operation of the tether.
Proper tether handling and care will result in extended tether life and system reliability.

Ensure camera and light ports are clean.
❑Check the reel for the following:
Check that the Shipping Brake is disengaged, and the Friction Brake is engaged.
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 track control.
Test camera control.
Post-Operations Check
A Post-Ops inspection should be carried out after every deployment using the following checklist:
❑Inspect the tether for damage as it is reeled in.
❑Visually inspect vehicle for entrained debris or mechanical damage.
❑Test each function to ensure proper operation.
❑Clean the system by hosing it down with water at regular line pressure. Do not pressure wash. The
tracks maybe cleaned off by hosingthem down while running. If the system has been used in salt water,
thoroughly rinse the vehicle with fresh water right away.
❑Take time to pack the system properly for transport away from the worksite.
❑Store the system in a dry environment.

Maintenance
Connector Care
Connectors are an essential part of system reliability. They must be properly maintained and cared for to
ensure long life and reliability. We recommend the following steps to help prevent damage and increase
the life of connectors.
•Always use connector caps when available.
•Always inspect the end of the connector prior to engaging to ensure it is clean and is the
correct match to the mating connector.
•Never plug in a dirty connector
•Visually align key-ways or locating pins prior to engaging the connector
•Always fully engage or tighten the connector
•Secure locking collars finger tight only. Tools can result in over-tightening which may
damage the connector.
•Install dummy plugs on unused connectors
•Disconnect by pulling straight, not on an angle
•Do not pull on the cable to disengage the connector

User Manual
Important: Never “Hot Plug” any connector, this will result in internal damage to the electronics.
Power down the system prior to plugging in any vehicle or tether connector.
Note:
Never use WD-40 or similar solvent-based fluids on connectors or crawlers. These will cause the
rubber parts of the connector or crawler to soften and swell rendering them inoperable.
Impulse Connector: Lubrication and Cleaning
•Lubricate mating surfaces regularly with 3M Silicone spray or equivalent, DO NOT GREASE
•Lubricate O-rings with Molykote 111 silicone grease or equivalent.
•Use dust caps to protect connectors wherever possible

Scheduled Maintenance and Servicing
Picotrac™ crawlers are designed to provide reliable service accompanied by a minimum downtime for
maintenance. The frequency of maintenance and/or repairs will be largely dictated by the type of use and
the environments the units are subjected to. We recommend the following maintenance procedures in
addition to normal equipment operational inspections.
Daily
Daily or before each use of the Picotrac / Versatrax 50 units:
1. Visually inspect the Picotrac and track belt for damage; if the track belt is torn or stretched it may
need to be replaced.
2. Check that the belt tensioning springs are freely moving. This can be done by pulling up on the
edge of the track belt with your thumb –the belt should have a small amount of give. If the springs
are bottomed out, there may be dirt under the belt which must be removed before deployment to
avoid damage and to attain best performance.
3. Visually inspect the tether and interconnect cables or damage. If the cables are damaged the unit
should be returned to the factory for servicing.
