Gen-Eye Prism 2.0 Video Pipe Inspection/Location System

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE TIPS


The camera should always be cleaned and inspected after every
use as dirt, grime and grease can cause unnecessary problems
such as failure of the camera seals.

The camera spring is attached to the cable via three (3) 4-40 x
½" stainless steel hex socket cap screws. This connection in-
cludes an O-ring sealing the connection from water leakage. This
connection should be checked after every use to ensure that the
screws have not loosened during the course of the inspection.

If disconnecting the camera from the push rod, make sure that
the O-ring is in good condition and/or replaced when replacing
the camera onto the push rod.

The camera lens, front nose piece and lights should be cleaned
and checked after every use for possible damage to the lens or
light covers and to prevent a build-up of dirt and grime which may
cause a degradation of the video picture.

Should camera disassembly be required for any reason (for re-
placing seals, etc.) always ensure the camera has first been
cleaned and taken to a clean area for disassembly. Take extra
precaution to avoid dirt getting into the camera body and any
mating components such as the nosepiece, main body, and con-
nectors.
