User Manual
System Setup
Personnel Requirements
Basic deployment of the VT100™ 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:
o Configuring the vehicle for the current pipe
o Lowering the vehicle in and out of the manhole
o Watching the tether as the vehicle enters and exits the pipe
o Operating 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 (ICON™ 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.
The tether and vehicle are depth rated to 60 m (200 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.
