SET UP - COMMAND MODULE
1. To set up for the Probe rod, connect the Probe Rod to the con-
nector at the top of the Command Module.
2. To set up for pipe inspection, mount the
hand-held Command Module onto the reel
by first threading the mounting ball with two
lock washers into the back of the unit. Then
slide the mounting ball into the end of the
extender and ball assembly at the center of
the reel. Adjust the Command Module for the
desired viewing angle and tighten the knob
on the extender.
3. Connect the Interface Cord form the reel to the connector at the
top of the Command Module.
4. Insert flash drive into USB slot on the left
side of the Command Module.
5. If using AC power, plug power adapter into
the left side of the Command Module.
6. Press the POWER button for 3 – 5 seconds
to turn the Command Module on. The Start-
Up screen is shown briefly, followed by the
Status screen for 5 seconds.
The status screen shows the capacity of the flash drive.
INSPECTION CAMERA OPERATION
NOTE: The micro push rod is designed to be used in 1-1/2" to 4"
lines ONLY. Do not use it in larger or smaller lines, or you may
damage the push rod.
1. Connect camera cable and power cord.
2. Insert USB Flash Drive (Part #184490)
into port of the left side of the
Command Module.
Video Pipe Inspection/Location System
3. Press and hold POWER button. Start up screen will appear in a
few seconds.
4. When the image from the camera appears on the screen, begin
the inspection. To adjust the brightness of the camera lights, use
the LED Dimmer Control located on the face of the Command
Module.
5. Make sure you have established live image on the monitor prior
to recording. Use the ZOOM IN or ZOOM OUT buttons as re-
quired to capture the image needed. You can also use the RO-
TATE button to rotate the image as needed.
6. Slide the camera into the line. Be sure that the push rod is rated
for the size pipe you are inspecting. Be careful 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 as a
battering ram. Always use the proper tool for the job.
7. 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 light-
er 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Should resistance become extreme, or the camera gets entan-
gled or stuck, slowly push and pull back and forth to free it. Do
not force the camera through a collapsed pipe.
11. To record video or snapshots of inspection, see page 7.
12. When inspection is complete, retract Push-Rod from drain and
secure in the reel.
Tip: It's often helpful to have a small stream of water running in the
line to clean the Push-Rod and Camera Head while it's still in the
drain line.
DO NOT BEND THE PROBE ROD TIP AT AN
ANGLE GREATER THAN 30 DEGREES!
DO NOT BEND THE PROBE ROD WHERE IT
