Page 21: Vehicle Configuration
Magg™ 480 User Manual Vehicle Configuration Magnet Removal / Installation The Magg™ 480 comes equipped with two extremely powerful magnet modules. It is recommended that these modules remain on the vehicle to minimize handling and potential injury. If they must be removed take the following precautions: 1. - Page 22 Magg™ 480 User Manual To remove the modules from the vehicle, do the following: 1. Lay the vehicle on its side; bracing may be required. 2. Cover the top magnet module with foam, wood or some other non-ferrous material at least 50 mm (2 in) thick.

Page 23: Magnet Spacing
Magg™ 480 User Manual Magnet Spacing The Magg™ 480 vehicle uses two very powerful permanent magnet modules to adhere the vehicle to a wall or pipe. In order to change the magnetic adhesion force, the spacing of the magnets away from the driving surface can be changed by rotating the height adjustment screws (4x M8 HEX BOLTS) by a full turn at a time, in a star pattern across the four corners. -

– either submerged or in salt spray, regardless of camera or track material. Eddyfi Technologies’ vehicles are designed to use aluminum marine anodes. Aluminum anodes are common in the marine industry and are replacing zinc anodes in many areas. For vehicle systems that are often pulled in and out of the water, aluminum anodes are especially important, as zinc anodes tend to scale over when exposed to air and may not reactivate when submerged again. -
