AutoStop
The AUTOSTOP function allows you to automatically stop the crawler at a certain position, e.g. before reaching the lower position, when moving
back from the inspection position. This function assists the user in retrieving the crawler.
An additional meter counter display is displayed in the status bar of the control panel (AS) allowing you to check the actual position of the crawler.
When activating the AutoStop function, the value of this meter counter is set to a negative offset value of -20 m so as to ensure a secure stop at
the zero position.
If you deactivate the AutoStop function while the crawler is in the pipe system, the offset value will be reset upon reactivation. A reset to the
original start point is then no longer possible.
If you have activated the AutoStop function, it will only be effective if the crawler is moved backwards with activated cruise control (Speed). You
can steer to the left or right using the joystick in Cruise Control mode, the activated AUTOSTOP function remaining effective.
AutoStop – Stop before reaching the zero position
The crawler is stopped and the AutoStop function remains activated if one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
- AutoStop On, cruise control active, movement backwards, roll angle > 13.0° (prevents the crawler from tipping. ANTIROLL)
- AutoStop On, cruise control active, movement backwards, roll angle < -13.0° (prevents the crawler from tipping. ANTIROLL))
- AutoStop On, cruise control active, movement backwards, tilt angle < approx. -30.0° (prevents the crawler from being drawn
upwards.)
If the crawler is stopped by one of these conditions, you need to check the position, alignment or location of the crawler in the pipe system and
rectify the fault manually. If the crawler is set up correctly, you can reactivate the cruise control and reverse until the AUTOSTOP zero position is
reached.
AutoStop – Stop upon reaching the zero position
The crawler is stopped and the AutoStop function is deactivated if the following condition is fulfilled:
- AutoStop On, cruise control active, movement backwards, meter counter 3(AS) = 0.0m (zero position)
If the crawler has reached the AUTOSTOP zero position, the remaining path to the manhole base must be performed under the supervision of the
operator. The rest can be done manually or also using the Cruise Control function. Make sure that you slow the crawler in sufficient time in order
to avoid damage to the inspection system.
