ICON Controllers

Rugged and Portable Controllers for Inspection Camera and Robotic Crawler Systems

ICON controllers have been specifically designed to withstand difficult environments. Built in a pelican transport case, they offer maximum protection when shut closed, while also being convenient for transport.

Details

Multi-tasking

ICON controllers offer different levels of power for different systems, some are very light and portable while others are made for fixed installations in a control center. In any case, controllers offer great processing speed and are capable of exporting video in the background while performing the inspection. There is no need to wait several minutes/hours when your job is done; simply pack and go.

Clear and precise display

All controllers come with a very high-quality display that is both large and sunlight readable. You can quickly assess and validate areas of interest when doing an inspection. The screen size, brightness, and resolution allow for a clear look at the data versus a smaller handheld display.

All systems, whether it’s a camera, a crawler, or a custom solution, use the same ICON software. It is very user friendly and quick to setup; simply load the appropriate configuration file and ICON will display the appropriate control dashboard for you.

IC100

The new IC100 is the most portable and compact ICON controller, designed for camera-only systems. If you’re looking for a controller to move around that still offers outstanding image quality and live video feeds, the IC100 is the ideal solution.

  • Spectrum cameras
  • Specialty cameras; handheld and push cameras
  • Up to 100 m (328 ft) of tether
  • Tether encoder input

IC500

If you need a high-powered controller for operating medium to large inspection crawler systems, the IC500 offers unmatched versatility and strength. Designed to support both tethered vehicles and high-definition cameras, this rugged, portable controller is housed in a Pelican case and built for field use. Equipped with a high-brightness 21.5" touchscreen and versatile ICON software on an embedded PC, the IC500 allows for seamless control, video recording, and data storage. With a 68VDC power output and optional 350/400VDC through the pass-through for large-class crawlers, the IC500 is capable of powering an extended tether length and diverse system configurations, making it an ideal choice for demanding inspection tasks across various environments.

  • Medium Class Vehicles: VersaTrax P205 and Y200
  • Large Class Vehicles: VersaTrax P320, M460 and M480
  • Supported Cameras: Spectrum 120, Onyx Micro
  • Power Output: Up to 475W
  • Tether Length: Supports extended tether lengths, ideal for large-scale inspections

High-Power controller

If you are looking for more power and to operate large class crawler systems, then the High-Power controller is for you. It comes in an 8U rackmount transportable case for practical on-site deployment. It has enough power to drive any large class system up to in 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) but is less portable than the IP100. The High-Power controller has been designed using rackmount components, and configurations are available that can be installed in a standard rack within a service van or fixed control center.

  • Large Class Vehicles: Versatrax M480, P320, I150 and Y380
  • Up to 1 km (0.6 mi) of tether
  • Winch tether management
  • Encoder input
