5.4 Deploying the Camera
1. Unlock the cable drum and feed the pushrod through the cable guide.
2. Insert the camera head into pipe to be inspected and adjust lighting as needed.
3. Push the camera in the pipe until level. Now press the distance reset to reset the distance counter at "0".
4. Continue to push the rod into the pipe until the point of interest is reached. If pushing around elbows or p-traps, be sure to
ease the camera around the bends by using a gentle forward/reverse, pulling/pushing action.
5.4.1 Retrieving the Camera
1. Push the rod back onto the drum.
2. When all of the pushrod is back in the drum remove the rod from the cable guide.
3. Position the camera and spring assembly back into the drum.
4. Return the drum brake to the locked position.
5.5 Locating the Position of the Camera Head
The locatable Sonde transmitter is positioned behind the camera head in the white plastic housing where the pushrod connects
to the spring. Allowances should be made for the distance between the Sonde and camera head when pinpointing the position
of the camera head.
CAUTION
Using an overly aggressive pushing action may result in damage to the camera head or termination
spring assembly.
NOTE
*The distance counter will provide you with an estimate. You should always use a Sonde locator or
pipe and cable locator to pinpoint the exact location and depth of the camera before excavating.
