Page 5: Precautions
Microtrac™ Precautions IMPORTANT: When configuring a 70V system, check to see if the tracks are compatible. Older versions of 4000 series Microtracs™ are not 70V compatible. Look for the Wide Input Voltage symbol \V/ located on the side plate of the track indicating 70V compatibility. Certification The product is built in accordance with: Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, and... -
Page 6: Connector Pin-Out
Direct Drive Tracks The embedded Microtrac 4000 uses a 6-pin Impulse IE-55 connector on the side of the track to connect motor power, encoder power and encoder signals. Contact Eddyfi Technologies for details of the encoder feedback. Note: Pin-out is shown for the Bulkhead Connector on the track. -

Page 8: Influences On Loading
Microtrac™ The above diagram details the speed and loading specifications of the standard and high-torque Microtracs™. There are four regions defining performance: • Continuous Duty: Preferred operating region. • Short Term Operation: Operation permitted for several minutes. • Intermittent: Surge loading allowable for a few seconds at a time. •... - Page 9 Microtrac™ Differential Steering Differential Steering means steering by varying the speed of two tracks such as with a tank or bulldozer. During the steering process the tracks are dragged sideways in addition to forward / backward movement. The sideways movement adds to the total track load and requires extra torque from the motor.
- Page 10 Microtrac™ Elevated Temperature & Thermal Shutdown ‘Duty Cycle’ refers to the length of time a track can run before overheating, and the following time required to cool down. The duty cycle of the Microtracs 4000™ depends on: • Track Material Thermal Conductivity (Aluminum, Brass = Good; Stainless = Poor) •...

Page 11: Safety
WARNING: High Voltage 36-70 VDC. If the equipment is powered from a source other than an Eddyfi Technologies provided controller, the power supplied to the product must have reinforced isolation from the mains with no reference to earth ground. - Page 12 DC-Controlled tracks (without internal driver) must be protected by current limiting either by fuse or electronically by the power supply. Current limiting and fuses are included standard with Inuktun system controllers. Call the Eddyfi Technologies Service department for assistance or service if needed.

Page 13: System Setup
Microtrac™ System Setup Mounting the Track Microtracs™ are provided with a variety of mounting locations on the sides, top and bottom. Use of any three mounting holes is enough to support the rated load. When using the side flange holes, make sure the screws do not protrude beyond the flange and into the track belt. - Page 14 Microtrac™ MICROTRAC 4000 EXTENDED LENGTH Document: UMDB007595.docm Revision: B13 Created by: KB Date: 17 Nov 2019 IPN: 3042830-B13 Source Location: C:\ePDM\ISLEng\products\db-microtracs4000\manuals\UMDB007595.docm Page 14 of 26...

Page 15: Flange Adapter
Microtrac™ MICROTRAC™ 4000 DEEP WATER Flange Adapter Flange adapters come standard with the Microtrac 4000 for mounting to chassis plates or legacy systems. Tracks can be configured for left or right-hand operation depending on which side the flanges are mounted – top or bottom. Flanges may also be ordered with Imperial threads for non-metric installations. -
Page 16: Connector Handling
Microtrac™ Connector Handling Connectors are an essential part of system reliability. They should be properly maintained and cared for to ensure long life and reliability. It is recommended to follow these steps to help prevent damage and increase the life of connectors. •... -
Page 17: Belt Installation
Microtrac™ Belt Installation Microtrac 4000™ belt replacement has been made easy by a spring tensioning system (except for manual option) that automatically aligns and tensions the track belt. Procedures vary between the standard-length and extended-length track as detailed below. Standard Length Track 1. - Page 18 Microtrac™ 4. The belt can now be lifted from the track. The track is now ready for cleaning or installation of a new belt. 5. When replacing the belt ensure the drive wheel lugs are engaged with the belt before slipping the belt back over the idler wheel.
- Page 19 Microtrac™ 7. Tension the belt by turning the tensioning screws clockwise until the captured nuts bottom out in their groove. They will be in position as shown below. Again – the tensioning screws stay in place. Manual tensionioning option is identical except that belt tension is set by screw depth – adjust the tensioning screws until the belt is tensioned.
- Page 20 Microtrac™ Extended Length Track 1. Remove the drive wheel cover and mounting flange on the side shown. The opposite mounting flange can remain in place. 2. Compress the tensioning springs using M6 x 16 or longer jack screws. The jack screws are fully removed from the track when the belt is replaced.

- Page 21 Microtrac™ 3. Manual Tension: Thread the tensioning screws on both sides of the track into the main housing (CW) to release the belt tension. Pull the belt off the track from the rear wheel first. The track is now ready for cleaning or installation of a new belt.

Page 22: Maintenance
Microtrac™ Maintenance Rinsing and Cleaning After every mission check to see if the tracks need cleaning. To maintain top performance of the Microtrac™ units, it is important to prevent excessive buildup of dirt under the track belt. A buildup will increase the belt tension, causing the track to lose speed and pulling ability. -
Page 23: Overhaul
Microtrac™ 3. Ensure that all fasteners are in place and secure. Weekly 1. Tracks with Spring Tensioners - In addition to the daily check, examine the condition of the tension springs at least once per week. Worn or corroded springs may weaken and cause low belt tension and idler wheel misalignment. -
