Version B
Developed for use in a CCTV inspection van, the Proteus
™
ACR is fitted with
350/500 metres of high strength, Kevlar reinforced inspection cable. Ultra-smooth
operation is provided by the powerful, three phase motor and cable layering
mechanism, specially designed for uninterrupted, tangle free pay-out and re-
winding. A rigid, clear safety screen and protective cover prevents contact with
the cable whilst coiling, and for additional safety there is an instant motor stop
button.
The ACR will be factory mounted in the inspection van, on to the (VGP350/500)
Van Guide Pulley.
Operation is controlled using the hand held RJP Bluetooth
®
Joystick Remote
Control (included) which is also capable of controlling camera and crawler
functions, or use the ACR control panel buttons in conjunction with the dedicated
keys and intuitive on-screen display on the Proteus
™
VCU.
Built using high quality materials and state of the art technology the ACR is a
robust and powerful tool for use in harsh environments.
