Gen-Eye SD™ Video Pipe Inspection/Location System
10
Cable Reel Input Socket, 10 Pin
This is used to connect the interface cord from the cable
reel to the SD Command Module.
Main Power Select Switch
After selecting either the 120 volt AC power cord or the
12 volt DC power cord, plug it in and turn this switch to
the appropriate setting to power up the SD Command
Module.
Camera Lights (Variable Intensity Control)
Controls light output and intensity on camera light head.
Camera Test Terminal
Use this connector to troubleshoot
video or light problems.
1. Disconnect the system from
the power source.
2. Remove camera from cable
assembly and plug into Cam-
era Test Terminal.
3. If the lights are still not working, chances are that one
or more of the lights will need replacement. Contact
General for service.
This will help isolate where camera video or light prob-
lems may be originating. Example: If the lights were not
working when the camera was connected through the
cable reel, but they do work when you plug directly to the
front panel, this indicates a problem with the light wire
somewhere in the cable reel. (Always check fuses first.)
Fuses
The SD Command Module contains three replaceable
fuses located behind the front LCD panel; one each for
the camera power (0.5 amp), AC line (3 amp), and cam-
era lights (0.25 amp). These are rated at 250 volts and
are approximately 1/4‖ diameter x 1-1/4‖ long.
IF THE FUSES CONTINUE TO “TRIP” DO NOT USE
THE SYSTEM. TRY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OR
HAVE A QUALIFIED PERSON CHECK OUT THE
PROBLEM
.
CAMERA FOCUS
All Gen-Eye SD cameras are pre-focused at the factory
from approximately 3‖ to infinity and should not require
any focus adjustments. Should focus adjustments be re-
quired, please call the factory.
CAMERA CONTROL UNIT FUNCTIONS AND
CONTROLS
The SD Command Module is designed to supply all oper-
ating voltages and functions to your camera system and
should be treated with care. Protecting the unit from ex-
cessive shock and jarring will prolong its life.
Separate AC and DC Power Cords are available: The 3-
prong AC plug on the AC cord, and a cigarette lighter-
type plug on the 12 VDC cord.
Microphone ON/OFF Switch
Turn this switch to the ON position to record your voice.
Be sure you do not accidentally have the switch ON as it
will record any audio in the vicinity of the SD Command
Module.
Condenser Microphone
This is the actual microphone that receives the audio for
recording purposes. If you hear audio feedback (a
screeching sound) when trying to use the microphone, it
is because the volume control on the SD Command Mod-
ule is turned up too high.
AC Power Input Socket
The supplied AC power cord is plugged into this socket
for main power to the unit.
DO NOT PLUG IN BOTH AC AND DC CORDS AT THE
SAME TIME!
