Operation - General Pipe Cleaners Gen-Eye Prism 2.0 Operating Instructions Manual

SKIDS
It is highly recommended that you use a skid at all times
to protect the camera head from abrasion in the pipe.
Skids lift the camera off the bottom of the pipe and center
it in the line for a better view and to allow the camera to
glide more easily though the line.
The standard reel comes with 2", 3", and 6" trap skids. Other optional
skids are available for 6", 8" and 10" lines:
GL-SK
To attach the skid, slide it over the front of the camera head, with the
lip of the skid at the front. Make sure the camera body is clean and
the set screws are tightened only until they touch the camera body.
Do not over tighten, as you may damage the camera housing.
ASSEMBLY
The Docking Clamp allows the Prism Command Module to be
mounted on any GL Reel or Gen-Eye POD. Your unit comes with a
clamp, two extenders and a holder for a standard size tablet. To
assemble:
1. Place one extender on the mounting ball on bottom of the
command Module.
2. Place the mounting ball on the clamp into the other end of the
extender, then tighten the knob on the side of the extender.
3. Place one extender on the mounting ball on top of the com-
mand Module.
4. Place the mounting ball on the back of the expandable holder
into the other end of the extender, then tighten the knob on the
side of the extender.
5. Place the clamp onto the tubular frame of your reel and tighten
the knob on the clamp.
6. Squeeze the pins behind the holder together to expand the
holder to the size you need. Then place your tablet in the
holder and release the pins. Optional holders for the mini-
tablet or Smartphone are available.
7. Then adjust the Tablet and holder angle for the optimum view-
ing angle.

2.0 Video Pipe Inspection/Location System
Upon arrival to the job site, set up the Gen-Eye Prism in an
easily viewable position where it will not interfere with the in-
spection.
Unwind the interface cord from the side of the reel and plug it
into the 10 pin Reel Connector on the bottom of the Command
Module. Insure the connector is properly aligned and then
tighten.
Note: If using the Prism with the Gen-Eye POD, use the op-
tional GL-ICP interface cord. Connect one lead with the RCA
plug to the Video Out connector and the other lead to the
Power Inlet connector.
Plug the AC cord into 120VAC input on the left side of the
Command Module, before plugging it into a power source. Be
sure the AC power source is properly grounded.
Turn on the Power Switch to activate the Command Module.
The indicator light will illuminate.
Turn on tablet or Smartphone, open the appropriate App, and
confirm you are receiving a picture from the camera. If you
have not yet set up your tablet or Smartphone for pipe inspec-
tion, see the How to Set up Wi-Fi section.
Release the reel lock and loosen the drag break on the side of
the reel.
Slide the camera into the
line. Be sure that the push
rod is rated for the size pipe
you are inspecting. Be care-
ful not to force the camera
around tight bends. If you
see an obstruction, stop. Do
not attempt to clear the pipe
by using the camera head.
Always use the proper tool for the job.
Once the camera is in the pipe, adjust the lights to a level which
produces the best picture with the least amount of light. This will
vary depending on pipe conditions. In some cases white or
lighter colored objects may cause the picture to "flare" or "wash
out". If this happens, simply adjust the light level until a good
picture is achieved.
Push the camera slowly and carefully during the inspection -
taking note of the pipe condition for possible hazards that may
entangle or damage the camera on entry or retrieval.
When negotiating a corner, care should be taken not to butt the
nose of the camera against the sidewall with any force. It would
be better to let the camera "work" its way around the corner.
Should resistance become extreme, or the camera gets entan-
gled or stuck, slowly push and pull back and forth to free it.
Sometimes rotating the push rod may also help.
