CCU
If using a microReel System set up for use with a micro-
EXPLORER Camera monitor, it can be converted for
use with other SeeSnake CCU’s (or vice versa) by chang-
ing the system cable as detailed in the assembly section.
Set up the microEXPLORER Camera monitor or CCU as
per its instructions. If using the microEXPLORER Camera
monitor or a battery powered CCU, make sure that the re-
quired batteries are fully charged and installed.
Placement
1. Place the microEXPLORER Camera monitor or CCU
monitor to allow easy viewing while manipulating the
pushrod and camera. Usually right next to the entry
point for the pushrod is a good choice. The location
should not be wet or allow the monitor unit to get wet
during use.
2. Set the microReel behind or to one side of the oper-
ator. Allow enough room for ample pushrod to be
used for grasping and manipulating without excess
dragging on the ground. When properly located, push
cable will only come off the reel when you pull it.
Preferably, lay the microReel on its back with the
camera unit and pushrod on top. There are foot
pads provided on the cord wrap to allow placement
in this position. This position provides the greatest
stability and helps to prevent tipping of the reel dur-
ing use.
CountPlus Settings
The CountPlus is a distance-counter option which can be
purchased with the microReel. It can track the total length
of pushrod that has been run out of the drum or measure
distance between two points in a pipe, starting from some
local zero-point selected during the inspection (such as a
pipe head or joint). The CountPlus can also display over-
lays of text messages such as labels of pipe line features.
Press on the CountPlus Menu Key ,to bring up the
Main Menu screen with three icons on it.

The CountPlus interface allows you to set up and mod-
ify a number of important parameters for use with your
SeeSnake system.

spection with a SeeSnake microReel System.
