Operating Instructions
Placement
Set up your SeeSnake system near the pipe entrance
so you can manipulate the push cable while viewing the
monitor. Make sure that the drum can spin freely. Placing
the reel where the drum cannot spin freely may result
in over-winding the cable, which may result in property
damage and/or serious injury.
Routing the Camera
If the camera is inside the drum, you must route the
camera through the push cable guides. The push cable
and camera head should be threaded through all three
guides.
1. Press the tab toward the outer edge of the outermost
push guide to lock open the clip and free the cam-
era spring
2. Reach inside the drum and find the camera.
3. Insert the camera through the inner push cable guide
and then through the two outer push cable guides.
4. Return the spring clip to the operation position to se-
cure the spring and prevent the push cable from re-
tracting back into the drum.
Operation Position
Only lock open the spring clip when you are routing the
camera. Keep the spring clip in the operation position
during normal use.
Inspection Overview
To perform a pipe inspection, connect any See Snake
monitor to the reel, power on the system, push the push
cable through the pipe, and observe the display.
For advanced inspection options, such as capturing
media, locating the sonde, tracing the push cable, and
delivering reports, refer to the manual that comes with
your monitor.
Connecting to the Monitor
Connect the system cable to the monitor by aligning the
connector guide pin with the socket and pushing the
connector straight in.
NOTICE
Retrieving the Camera
Pull the push cable back out of the pipe with slow, steady
force and feed small lengths back into the drum. Wipe
the push cable with a paper towel or rag as you retrieve
it.
NOTICE
Pipe Guides
Pipe guides center the camera in the pipe, improve
picture quality, and help keep the lens clear. Use pipe
guides when possible to reduce wear and tear on the
Locked Open
camera system.
Only twist the outer locking sleeve.
Never bend or twist the connector.
Guide Pin
Outer Locking Sleeve
Do not exert excessive force or pull at
sharp angles. Feeding longer lengths
or forcing the push cable may cause it
to loop, kink, or break.
