Magg™ 310 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 a surface, the Magg™...
Magg™ 310 WARNING: Trip Hazard - Never stand on the tether. A snap load to the tether may pull it out from underneath you and cause you to fall. Standing on the tether may also damage its internal conductors, cause unnecessary wear, and decrease its life.
Magg™ 310 Laser Lines The Magg™ 310 is equipped standard with vertical laser lines (Class 2 lasers at 635 nm, 1.5 mW). Laser line separation is 70 mm (2.75 in). CAUTION: Class II Laser: Do not intentionally stare into the beam.
Magg™ 310 System Setup Personnel Requirements Basic deployment of the Magg™ 310 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. •...
Magg™ 310 System Power The Magg™ 310 is operated through an ICON™ Portable Controller, or a Rackmount Interface Box. These controllers provide power to the tether and vehicle. Refer to the Controller User Manual for further details and power requirements. If powering the system from a generator or inverter, refer to that unit’s operating manual for recommendations on continuous and peak load ratings.
Magg™ 310 Portable Reel Setup If your system includes a portable reel, follow these steps to operate: 1. Remove the shipping cap from the front of the case and insert the crank handle. 2. Connect the deck cable from the reel to the controller. 3.
Magg™ 310 Mini-Reel Setup If your system includes a Mini-Reel, follow these steps to operate: 1. Remove the Mini-Reel from the shipping case. 2. Connect the deck cable from the reel to the Video Interface and Power Supply. 3. Connect the encoder deck cable from the reel to the Video Interface and Power Supply (if provided with Mini-Reel).
Magg™ 310 Tether Handling The tether is one of the most important parts of the system. It feeds power and control signals to the system and returns data to the controller. If the tether is damaged from improper use, poor handling or an accident, the system may become inoperable.
Magg™ 310 SubConn Connector: Lubrication and Cleaning • Periodically apply Molykote 111 silicone grease or equivalent before mating connectors. • For dry mate connections, a layer of grease corresponding to 1/10 the socket depth should be applied to the female connector. •...
Magg™ 310 Vehicle Configuration Camera Mounting The Magg™ 310 camera can be mounted in a standard configuration or can be removed from the vehicle and mounted on an accessory pole. The camera can also be mounted in an alternate orientation option. Standard Mounting To install the camera onto the vehicle, do the following (removal is the reverse of installation): 1.
Magg™ 310 Pole Mounting Mounting the camera onto the optional inspection pole is nearly identical to the standard installation (see below). Alternate Mounting Mounting the camera onto the optional mount is as follows (removal is the reverse of installation): 1. Remove one magnet cup M5 x 30 mm SHCS from each side of the vehicle as shown below. 2.
Magg™ 310 Magnet Spacing The Magg™ 310 vehicle comes equipped with magnet cups to enable the vehicle to maneuver on a vertical or inverted magnetically attractive surface. The magnet cups utilize rare earth permanent magnets and cannot be disabled (or turned off). The inspection surface must be carbon steel or alloy steel that has good magnetic properties.

Magg™ 310 Magnet Spacing The Magg™ 310 vehicle comes with the tracks spaced down from the main chassis plate using four groups of 8mm and 4.5mm spacers (two groups per track). The vehicle comes with a kit of spacers to accommodate a wide range of track spacing.
Magg™ 310 Fall Arrest IMPORTANT: A lifeline or fall arrest system should always be used when vehicle detachment from the working surface threatens injury to personnel or damage to equipment. A fall arrest system can be attached to the vehicle on either or both chassis handles. Additionally, one of the handles may be relocated using the two mounting holes located behind the camera.
Magg™ 310 Visually inspect the vehicle and Microtracs™ to ensure that the moving parts are free of debris and functional. Make sure the track belt is free of debris and turns freely. Check the tether and vehicle whips for damage. ...
Do not mix anode types (zinc and aluminum) on the assembly, between vehicles or between structures. There must be only one anode type throughout. Magnesium anodes must never be used with Eddyfi Technologies equipment.
Magg™ 310 Rinsing and Cleaning After every mission check to see if the vehicle needs cleaning. 1. If the system has been used in salt water, thoroughly rinse the vehicle with fresh water prior to being stored away. Accelerated corrosion will result if the inspection system is not rinsed properly. Pay close attention to rinsing and cleaning the camera window, LED light dome and the spaces between moving parts and track belts.
Microtrac™ Maintenance Refer to the Microtrac manual for Microtrac™ 4000 maintenance and servicing instructions. Tether Re-termination Tether termination is a specialized service beyond the scope of this manual. Contact Eddyfi Technologies if the tether is damaged or requires re-termination.
