Terms
(Refer to Figures 2-10)
Brake Large black knob on dolly that controls the
spinning action of reel. The purpose of the brake is to
provide a slight drag on the reel to prevent freewheel-
ing, resulting in excessive cable exiting the reel. The
brake is not intended to lock the reel.
Cable Guide The U-shaped metal bar above the
brake that the camera and push cable passes through
as it exits the reel.
Camera Head Contains a video camera module,
LED board, and control and protective components for
the video system. The camera is rated to a water
depth of 330 feet.
Camera Skid The small plastic ring found on the
camera head (not to be confused with centering
guides). Its purpose is to protect the stainless steel
housing from abrasion. A metal C-clip (on the side
that faces the spring assembly) holds the camera skid
in place. The skid should be replaced as soon as it
wears down to the grooves, such that it is smooth.
Centering Guides Small, plastic, star-shaped devices
that mount onto the spring assembly using snap rings.
3
″
and 6
″
in diameter, they center the camera and help
keep it off of the bottom (out of the sludge).
Connectors All the “plugs” in the system that con-
nect the camera; push cable; hub; interconnect cable;
monitor/power pack. These are the connectors that
have guide pins (male) and guide sockets (female).
These connectors ARE NOT to be confused with 120
volt (or 230V) AC outlet plugs, or any video/audio
jacks. Refer to Figure 1.
Dimmer A small knob found on the front of monitors,
and power packs. This allows control of power to the
LEDs to dim or brighten them as conditions vary in
pipe. For example, white PVC pipe may reflect too
much light to the camera, making the picture over-
exposed (too bright). Similarly, black ABS pipe will
reflect much less light, making the picture underex-
posed (too dark). Adjustment of the dimmer allows
fine control of the LED lighting for an optimum picture.
Dolly Metal frame that the reel is mounted to. The
dolly has a second set of feet on the back side of the
reel, allowing the system to rest on its side (open-end-
up) for greater stability. There are also three fittings
(with capped covers) that allow attachment of the
optional auxiliary handle.
Hub The center, cone-shaped portion of the reel.
Within the hub is the slip ring and axle.
Interconnect Cable Thirty-three foot cord that plugs
between the output of the hub and the monitor/power
pack. It is kept stored on the dolly, and left plugged
into the hub.
LED Light Emitting Diode. Solid-state light that, unlike
an incandescent lamp (a regular light bulb), does not
have a fragile filament. These give off red light to illumi-
nate pipe interiors. The camera module is especially
sensitive to red light, resulting in a higher quality picture.
LED Ring The polycarbonate (plastic), donut shaped
ring that protects the LEDs from abrasion. There is also
