Gen-Eye SD™ Video Pipe Inspection/Location System
OPERATION
1. Slowly push the camera into the pipe. Make sure the
spring does not kink or double back on itself.
2. Once the camera is in the pipe, adjust the lights to a
level which produces the best picture with the least
amount of light. This will vary depending on pipe
conditions. You may also adjust the brightness and
contrast controls on the monitor.
3. Lighting may be adjusted to highlight various pipe
conditions and objects as desired. In some cases
white or lighter colored objects may cause the picture
to ―flare‖ or ―wash out‖. If this happens, simply turn
the light control down until a good picture is
achieved.
4. Push the camera slowly and carefully during the in-
spection - taking note of the pipe condition for possi-
ble hazards that may entangle or damage the cam-
era on entry or retrieval.
5. When negotiating a corner, care should be taken not
to butt the nose of the camera against the sidewall
with any force. It would be better to let the camera
―work‖ its way around the corner. If resistance is en-
countered when turning the corner and there is no
visible signs of blockage, turning the push rod or pull-
ing the camera back and forth slowly sometimes
helps.
6. Should resistance become extreme, or the camera
gets entangled or stuck, slowly push back and forth
to free it. Sometimes turning the push rod may also
help. If the camera is visible you may be able to free
it with your hand or some other means.
