6.
Wear heavy duty industrial gloves to avoid damaging your hands.
7.
Do not touch the lightheads when they are switched on. They operate at high temperatures and a burn
injury might result.
CAUTIONS: Do not overshoot the end position when reeling out the full amount of rod as damage to the
conductors and the end of the rod could occur.
Use rags to wipe the rod as it is being recovered.
Do not stow dirty rod in the coiler. Never leave the coiler unattended with the brake off.
NOTE: Do not dispense or recover the rod by rotating the coiler manually. When dispensing rod, set the
brake so that the rod does not spool off under its own tension and then pull the rod out of the coiler.
When recovering rod, loosen the brake fully and push the rod into the coiler.
6.
Disconnecting the rod system
CAUTION: It is important that the power to your system is switched OFF before disconnection. Otherwise
damage to system components may occur.
WARNING: Risk of injury.
When handling rod, wear heavy duty industrial gloves to avoid damaging your hands.
1. Release the friction brake sufficiently to prevent the rod from uncoiling itself from the cassette.
2. Reel in the rod with care, to minimize the possibility of snagging. Should a snag occur, reverse the
rotation of the coiler assembly and slowly dispense the rod until the obstruction is cleared then
resume reeling in the rod.
3. Wipe the rod with a cloth as it is reeled in. The rod must be clean when stored on the coiler. At all
times, wear heavy duty industrial gloves when recovering rod to avoid damaging your hands.
NOTE: Dirty rod increases wear which leads to sheath damage. Sharp pieces of grit can also cause the
sheath to be penetrated when compressed between the coils.
4. Stop reeling when about 4" (100mm) of rod remains and tighten the brake. Press the 'STANDBY'
switch on the monitor control buttons (See Section 3) to place the system in the standby.
5. Disconnect the mains cable from the power source.
NOTE: If the system is powered by a portable generator, follow the manufacturer's instructions for
powering down the generator prior to disconnecting the mains cable.
6. Loosen the three socket head cap locking screws (3) on the hose connector body then unscrew the
retaining cap (2) from the sonde body. Pull the camera from the sonde, using a gentle sustained
pressure and a slight to-and-fro rotational motion. If the pogo contacts are dirty, spray them with
Ambersil Ambertron spray and allow any excess fluid to drain off. Replace the protective cap on the
sonde.
CAUTIONS: To avoid water ingress, which can damage the sonde, it is ESSENTIAL to replace the
protective cap. Do not wipe the sonde pogos with a cloth.
7. Remove the lighthead and skids or brushes from the camera using the appropriate procedure as
given below:
2.6.1 P417 Lighthead
Loosen the three M3x3 socket head grub screws in the locking collar behind the front part of the
1.
lighthead body. Now unscrew the locking collar.
Remove the camera from the lighthead body by pulling it out with a gentle sustained pressure and a
2.
slight rocking motion.
Re-assemble the lighthead, screw on the locking collar and tighten the three grub screws.
