capturing media, locating the sonde, tracing
the push cable, and delivering reports, refer
to the manual that comes with your monitor.
Connecting to the Monitor
Connect the system cable to the monitor by
aligning the connector guide pin with the

Retrieving the Camera
Pull the push cable back out of the pipe with
slow, steady force and feed small lengths
back into the drum. Wipe the push cable
with a paper towel or rag as you retrieve it.
NOTICE
Do not exert excessive
force or pull at sharp an-
gles. Feeding longer
lengths or forcing the
push cable may cause it
to loop, kink, or break.
Pipe Guides
Pipe guides center the camera in the pipe,
improve picture quality, and help keep the
lens clear. Use pipe guides when possible
to reduce wear and tear on the camera sys-
tem.
Maintenance and
Support
Cleaning
Clean your system with rags and a soft
nylon brush. If desired, a mild detergent or
disinfectant can be used. Do not use sol-
vents or high pressure water to clean any
part of the system.
Maintaining Components
Camera Head
Scratches on the camera have a minimal ef-
fect on its performance. Do not use scraping
tools or sand the camera to remove scratch-
es.
Push Cable
Run a rag over the push cable and visually
inspect it for cuts and abrasions while push-
ing it back into the drum. Replace or repair
the push cable if the outer jacket is cut or
abraded.

a dry, secure area between -10°C and 70°C
