Gen-Eye SD™ Video Pipe Inspection/Location System

DEPTH MEASUREMENT
1. Recheck the camera location using the steps outlined
above.
2. Rest the tip of Locator on the ground, holding it verti-
cally above the pinpointed position of the camera
head.
3. Press the DEPTH button. The LCD screen will indi-
cate the depth of the camera.
4. You can select the unit of measurement (feet, inches,
meters, centimeters) by pressing the DEPTH button
and the DOWN arrow at the same time.
Note:
An indication of four dashes on the display can be
caused by too much or too little signal strength. Adjust
the gain and recheck the depth measurement.
See complete Locator instruction manual for
more information.

CAMERA LOCATION
1. Turn the Gen-Eye SD power switch to ON.
2. Switch the Locator ON and check that the battery
indicator shows at least one bar. Replace batteries
as needed.
3. Make sure the Locator is set for the same frequency
as the transmitter by pressing the Frequency button
(FREQ) until the desired frequency appears on the
display.
4. Press Antenna Select (ANT SEL) so that the indica-
tor arrow points to TWIN PEAK.
5. Press the UP arrow so that the gain bar is at the
maximum setting.
6. Hold the Locator blade vertical and
in line with the camera head (handle
of the Locator at 90 degrees to the
camera head). If you are not sure
of the direction of the pipe, hold the
locator above the drain opening and
rotate it until you obtain the maxi-
mum signal.
Note:
The camera
must be stationary to be precisely
pinpointed.
7. Move the Locator forward and back-
ward, and side to side along the
camera path until you obtain a peak response on the
display.
8. If the display indicates a maximum signal of 100, re-
duce the gain by pressing the DOWN arrow to keep
the display at approximately 50% – 70%.
9. Repeat step 7 and 8 as you narrow your search area.
10. A small ghost signal may appear in front and behind
the peak reading. Lower the gain button until you
receive only one signal.
11. When you can only receive the signal in a small, one-
foot square area, you’ve located the camera. Mark
the spot.
Tip:
It’s much easier to locate the camera when it’s
closer to the drain opening than when it’s 100 feet away.
Push the camera five or ten feet into the line, then do
your first location. Mark the spot and push the camera
ahead another five or ten feet, then repeat. When you’re
done, you’ll have the whole line traced and marked.
