Pilot command “Isotope Cs137”
It consists of an AG3 cylinder equipped with a handle and two skids. It encloses a depleted uranium shield designed to house a 20 mCi of Caesium 137 source “under special form”. This source transmits the crawler operating commands through the pipe.
Pilot Command “Non- Isotope”
Pilot command “No Isotope” is a magnetic control system designed to replace the conventional isotope control
system.
RX 120 V 22 Ah battery
This set consists of 10 Pb elements, delivering a total of 22 Ah at 120 V, a 16 A fuse, a 0 V – 120 V switch, a connector
for connection to the base of the crawler chassis.
RX 120 V battery charger
It consists of a box containing the 220V mains power cable, the charger/battery cable, a fuse protecting the primary
circuit, a switch with mains indicator and a needle ammeter.
Track expanders and centralizers
Five types of shafts and spacer rings are supplied with the equipment and are used for positioning the crawler in pipes with a diameter of 12″ to 60″.
