10 – English – Compact C40
• Always use appropriate personal pro-
tective equipment when handling and
using equipment in drains.
Wear ap-
propriate protective equipment such as
latex or rubber gloves, goggles, face
shields, and respirators when inspect-
ing drains that might contain hazard-
ous chemicals or bacteria. Always wear
eye protection to protect against dirt and
other foreign objects.
Operating Instructions
Placement
Set up your SeeSnake system near the pipe
entrance so you can manipulate the push
cable while viewing the monitor. Make sure
that the drum can spin freely. Placing the
reel where the drum cannot spin freely may
result in over-winding the cable, which may
result in property damage and/or serious in-
jury.
Routing the Camera
If the camera is inside the drum, you must
route the camera through the push cable
guides. The push cable and camera head
should be threaded through all three guides.
1. Press the tab toward the outer edge of
the outermost push guide to lock open
the clip and free the camera spring
2. Reach inside the drum and find the
camera.
3. Insert the camera through the inner
push cable guide and then through
the two outer push cable guides.
4. Return the spring clip to the opera-
tion position to secure the spring and
prevent the push cable from retracting
back into the drum.
Operation Position
Locked Open
Only lock open the spring clip when you are
routing the camera. Keep the spring clip in
the operation position during normal use.
Inspection Overview
To perform a pipe inspection, connect any
See Snake monitor to the reel, power on the
system, push the push cable through the
pipe, and observe the display.
For advanced inspection options, such as
capturing media, locating the sonde, tracing
the push cable, and delivering reports, refer
to the manual that comes with your monitor.
