Description

The TriTrax™ 200 Vertical Crawler system is a Microtrac™ 4000 based vehicle used for navigating pipes of

200 –400 mm (8 –16 in) internal diameter with the camera centered. The crawler can travel vertically in the

pipe up or down.

The inspection system has been manufactured with the hazards and demands of pipe inspection in mind. A

minimized vehicle profile provides maximum clearance for passage of service intrusions in the pipe. The

vehicle employs marine technology for underwater operation down to a depth of 30 m (100 ft).

The TriTrax™ 200 can also be used in dry environments. The rugged design ensures a long service life and

helps protect the vehicle from damage during normal use.

The TriTrax™ 200 system is built in accordance with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, Machinery

Directive 2006/42/EC, and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU.

Safety

To use this product properly and safely, every user must first read these operating instructions and observe

the safety instructions contained therein. Take care of these operating instructions and keep them in a place

where they can be accessed by everyone. Untrained personnel should not handle or operate this equip-

ment.

CAUTION: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in injury or equip-

ment damage.

WARNING: Hazardous Voltage 36-70 VDC. Do not power the vehicle from any

source other than an Eddyfi controller intended for that vehicle.

WARNING: Intense Optical Radiation - The Spectrum camera lights, and 801

lights are extremely bright. Never look directly at the lights. Use a welding filter

(shade #8 or higher) if inspecting the LEDs.

•When performing maintenance or functional checks of the camera lights, take precautions to pro-

tect nearby personnel from unintended exposure which could be temporarily blinding.

•Observe safe lifting practices. For storage and shipping, the TriTrax™ 200 system is packed in

three parts: Controller, Vehicle and Tether. Each of the three components is either built or packed

into a Pelican case with carrying handle. The heaviest case containing the tether and mini reel is

equipped with wheels and extending handle like a suitcase.

•Do not operate the system with damaged wires. A short circuit may damage the power system,

telemetry system, cameras, or attached equipment. Exposed wires may also create a shock haz-

ard.

•Disconnect the power source before servicing the product; otherwise, damage may result.

•Although designed for durability, the vehicle and its components or attached devices may suffer

structural damage if dropped or impacted. A lifeline or fall arrest system should be used at all time

when the vehicle is navigating on a vertical or inverted horizontal position. In addition, stepping on

the tether may pull the vehicle off the wall causing it to fall and sustain physical damage.

User Manual

•All personnel operating or maintaining this equipment must be trained and competent.

•Eddyfi equipment is used in many varied environments from hot/dry to confined spaces to deep

underwater. Such diverse environment risks must be addressed by the operators who are trained

to work in such surroundings. As such, the operator is responsible to determine safe site setup,

operating procedures and personal protective equipment (PPE) for safe deployment, operation and

maintenance of the equipment.

WARNING: Spark Hazard - Under no circumstances should this equipment be

used in a potentially explosive atmosphere.

WARNING: Trip Hazard - Never stand on the tether. A snap load to the tether may

pull it out from underneath you and cause you to fall. Standing on the tether may

also damage its internal conductors, cause unnecessary wear, and decrease its life.

WARNING: High Temperature - The camera head and auxiliary lights may be-

come extremely hot during operation. Allow a cool-down period before handling.

WARNING: Mechanical Pinch Hazard –Rotating or moving components can draw

fingers into a pinch position. Do not handle the vehicle while mobile parts are run-

ning, turn off power or disconnect the tether while reconfiguring or maintaining the

vehicle.

User Manual

Misuse of the system is deployment in a situation for which it is not rated, or incorrect handling.

Examples of misuse include:

•In a vacuum

•Beyond its depth rating without factory approval

•Above or below its temperature rating

•Use in a potentially explosive atmosphere

•Use in incompatible chemical environments

•Very high radiation environments (Beta / Gamma)

•Prolonged overload (Payload or pulling load)

•Camera pointed at the Sun or at intense lighting

System Setup

Personnel Requirements

Basic deployment of the TriTrax™ 200 system may be performed by one person. Operations at more

complex worksites may require two people, especially when the console location is removed from the point

of deployment.

•Console Operator: This person is responsible for driving the vehicle, watching the pipe and

making comments about the location and pipe condition. It is also the operator’s responsibility to

assess whether a pipe is in the appropriate condition for safe passage of the vehicle or if there is a

risk of getting stuck. The operator may also assist in general site setup (cones, warning signs, etc.),

vehicle maintenance and configuration.

•Deployment / Tether Handler / Field Maintenance: This person has several tasks including:

oConfiguring the vehicle for the current pipe

oLowering the vehicle in and out of the manhole

oWatching the tether as the vehicle enters and exits the pipe

oOperating the reel and winding the tether during recovery

Establish a good channel of communication between the operator and deployment personnel. Good

communication can avoid accidents, damage to the equipment, and promotes efficiency and productivity.

In particular, the person deploying the vehicle and watching the tether must be able to quickly tell the

operator to stop the vehicle if something goes wrong. The operator should never turn on power or initiate

movement without first communicating with the vehicle handler.

Working and Storage Environment

The control system (IC™ 450 Portable Controller or Interface Box and Control computer) is to be used in a

dry, covered environment only. These components are not waterproof. Keep all cords and cables away

from water.

User Manual

The tether and vehicle are depth rated to 30 m (100 ft) of water. The tether connector is a wet-mate type

which may be wet when plugged in but cannot be plugged in underwater. 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.

The portable reel is splash resistant only. Refer to the reel manual.

To maximize component life and minimize deployment time it is recommended that the vehicle and tether

be cleaned after use and the entire system stored in a dry, dust free, location.

Refer to the Specifications section for operating and storage temperatures.
