Page 8: Product Description
Product description The inspection system PROTEUS™ is a modular system designed for, but not limited to, inspecting pipeline systems. Using a variety of colour cameras, optional modules and accessories, the PROTEUS™ platform offers everything needed for professional pipeline inspection. The comprehensive list of modules and accessories allow inspection of pipes equal to and greater than 150mm diameter. Different wheel sets allow the crawler to be centred in pipe sizes from 150mm to 600mm. The Auxiliary Light with Backeye camera provides additional forward illumination and a colour rear view camera with illumination to aid manoeuvring the crawler in reverse. The system uses a control unit with twin joysticks, QWERTY keyboard, and reporting software developed in‐house by Mini‐Cam. Built using high quality materials and state of the art technology the PROTEUS™ system is a robust and powerful tool for use in harsh environments. Page | 8 ... -

Page 11: Warnings, Safety Measures & Care
Warnings, safety measures & care Please read the safety measures closely and observe them. They preserve your own safety, the safety of co‐workers as well as the prevention of damage to the PROTEUS™ inspection system and its components. CAUTION! The operator of the PROTEUS™ inspection system must be trained by either Mini‐Cam or one of its authorised representatives before using the system. CAUTION! Despite all of the safety functions built into the system, the operator is not exonerated in any way from his/her duty of care. Thus the user alone is responsible for any damage caused as a result of misuse. CAUTION! If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. DANGER! Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current! The mains plug and or IEC connector of the PSU is the supply isolation device and must be easily accessible. Page | 11 ... - Page 12 DANGER! Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current! • The power supply for the crawler is nominally 120 volts DC which can be considered hazardous, however this supply cannot be switched on unless the control unit is connected to the cable reel and the cable is connected to the crawler. Consequently this supply is not accessable and as soon as any connection is exposed the power supply will be automatically shut off. • This hazardous voltage may be exposed if the control unit, cable reel or crawler is opened while the system is operational. Therefore the modules of the system should only be opened by a Mini‐Cam Service Centre. • There are no user serviceable components within any module in the system. DANGER! Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current! Only use an appropriately rated and approved cordset in accordance with the regulation of the country in which this system is used. DANGER! Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current! Although the cable reel and crawler could be used in wet environments the external PSU is for indoor use only (as marked on its label) and must not be used in wet areas. DANGER! Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current! ...

Page 13: Before First Use
Before first use Please notice the following sources of risk for serious or deadly injuries: CAUTION! Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current! • Ensure that no fluids can enter the control panel or penetrate the housing of the cable reel. In case this happens, immediately disconnect the power supply and inform the appropriately trained staff or Mini‐ Cam Service Centre. • Ensure that the electrical connection cables are intact and that they cannot be bent or crushed. If you find cable damage, immediately disconnect the power supply and inform the appropriately trained staff or Mini‐Cam Service Centre. • Work on the electronics, which are not covered in this document, shall only be carried out by trained specialist staff or a Mini‐Cam Service Centre. • Maintenance and repair work, which is not covered in this document, shall only be carried out by trained specialist staff at a Mini‐Cam Service Centre. CAUTION! Risk of serious injuries by falling crawler! When preparing the system for operation pay attention to the crawler position, that it is not too close to the manhole. When testing the driving function, the crawler might fall into the manhole. Any person in the manhole may suffer serious injuries. CAUTION! Hazard of infection and contamination of fresh water! ... - Page 14 CAUTION! Explosion hazard! Do not use the inspection system in pipelines which might have contained explosive substances, such as gas or solvents. If this kind of application should be required, contact Mini‐Cam Ltd to obtain information on system components destined for this purpose. CAUTION! Suffocation hazard! Before and while lowering the crawler into the pipe system it is necessary to perform a safety test with a certified gas detector. Page | 14 ...

Page 16: Maintenance
described in this user manual. • Keep the system clean. Observe the individual cleaning instructions for this purpose. Maintenance To ensure the maximum service life of the PROTEUS™ system the individual modules and accessories belonging to the system have to be independently maintained and kept clean. Moving parts, in particular, can have improved operational life by frequent professional cleaning after inspections. Also, the risk to the operator of infection can be significantly reduced by using a cleaned system. Take notice of the following comments on general maintenance: • Keep the entire system clean and clean the system directly after each inspection. • Thoroughly wash down the parts of the system that have come into contact with moisture and then dry them with a clean and dry cloth. • Keep all electrical connections and contacts free of dirt, grease and moisture at all times. • Never bend the cable of the system and avoid knots. • Clean the cable with a rag when retracting. • Regularly grease all exposed O‐rings using O‐ring lubricant as required in the maintenance instruction. • Use only suitable display cleaners for cleaning the display as required in the maintenance instruction. • Use only clean and dust free cloths for cleaning the display. • Use water for cleaning without the addition of cleaning agents or solvents. For detailed maintenance instructions for individual modules and accessories please read the comments in the description for each module. The specific maintenance work steps will also be explained. NOTE! The operator of the system is responsible for the proper disposal! See ... -
