INITIAL SETUP
BATTERY SETUP
The three device batteries provided may only have a 25% charge and could be operated immediately. At the outset, the battery lifespan will be shorter than expected. Versatile recommends charging the spare battery immediately, with the best practice to charge all three batteries thoroughly before device usage. I would reword this last sentence to say that
Please know how the charger and the battery must be connected.
The connectors are military-graded and are adjustable with a notch-to-notch fit. Carefully connect the charger connector with the battery connector.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Step #1 - Remove four (4) Star Grips and open battery covers 1 & 2
Step #2 - Verify batteries are not depleted by pushing the indicator button. Each fully charged battery lasts up to five days. Combined the two batteries provide up to 10 days of run time
Step #3 - Connect Battery 1 and Battery 2. There is a battery connection cable for each battery.
Step #4 - Close each battery lid and fasten the four (4) star grips until secure.
ON-HOOK INSTALLATION
To avoid personal injury, always use two persons to install the device on the crane hook as mentioned in the steps below:
Pre-installation – All shackles, master links and hooks used to enable device activity must be checked for correct load capacity and certification and be attached to the device by a certified rigger on customer premises unless it is delivered pre-assembled (In some cases the hook will be pre-assembled by load cell manufacturer).
Step #1: Remove any under-the-hook lifting devices.
Step #2: Attach accessories to the device per the assembly specific to 20T, 40T, or 55T capacity.
Step #3: Attach the device assembly to the hook.
Step # 4: Reconnect any under-the-hook lifting device to the new hook under the device
LOAD CELL CALIBRATION
After placing the device assembly on the hook, Versatile suggests picking a load with a known weight and recording the time of pick. Communicate this load weight and pick time to the Versatile support team at support@versatile.ai.
POST-IMPLEMENTATION
BATTERY CARE
Each device has three batteries and a charger:
- 2x battery assemblies mounted on the device
- 1x spare battery assembly for replacement on the device when needed.
When one of the batteries on an active device requires recharging:
- A message will be sent to the relevant, trained and authorized site personnel as communicated to Versatile, at least 5 hours prior to critical need.
- The message will indicate which battery should be replaced with a charged battery
Once the battery is replaced successfully, a message will be sent to notify the designated person of the successful battery replacement.
Battery replacement can be performed while the device is rigged on the hook or after the device is unrigged from the hook. To replace the batteries, unscrew the Plastic Star Grips and remove the battery cover frame. Disconnect the connectors and gently remove the battery box from the device frame. Replace the battery with a charged battery and reconnect the connectors, ensuring that the notch in the connector is aligned with the notch on the battery. Close the cover and screw on the Plastic Star Grips. Re-check & inspect all accessories before rigging again.
