disrupted or damaged by the magnetic field.
Note: Rare earth materials are mechanically weak, and
magnetically very strong. They must therefore be
handled very carefully to avoid damage.
Note: To reduce risk of injury and damage to equipment, always store the
Versatrax 100™ magnetic vehicle in its magnetically shielded storage and
shipping box or store the magnets on a steel plate when not in use.
Note: We strongly recommend using gloves when handling the vehicle to
reduce magnetic pinching hazard.
Warning: Avoid Magnetic Slamming. Extreme care must be taken when
handling the vehicle, particularly when placing it onto a wall or into its storage
box. Without taking heed of the sudden pull of the magnetic field onto surface,
the Versatrax 100 magnetic option can be slammed down hard causing
damage to the vehicle. Using a solid grip on the vehicle, we recommend
touching down the vehicle by one end first and then pivoting flat.
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.
• CAUTION: Class II Laser: Do not intentionally stare into the
beam. Typically, Class II relies on the blink reflex to limit
exposure to no more than ¼-second. Intentionally staring
into the beam can cause eye injury.
• When performing maintenance or functional checks of the
lasers and camera lights, take precautions to protect nearby
personnel from unintended exposure which could be
temporarily blinding.
• Observe safe lifting practices. For storage and shipping, the
Versatrax 100 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
hazard.
