INSPECTION PROCEDURE Skids or sleeves should ALWAYS be used to protect the camera head. Depending on the size of the pipe you are inspecting, you may need to use a skid, so the camera is centered or off the floor of the line. Care should be taken so the skids do not snag in the line.
LOCATING THE SONDE SIGNAL (512HZ) Insert the sonde into the drain and locate it while it is still just in view at the drain or duct entrance. Hold the locator vertically - directly over the sonde with the antenna in line with the sonde. Adjust the locator sensitivity so the bar graph reads between 60% and 80%.

When winding the cable back onto the reel after an inspection, it is good practice to use a cloth to wipe off any debris. Hathorn also recommends the use of genuine Hathorn reel covers. Hathorn manufactures its reel covers from industrial-grade reinforced vynil which will stop liquids from dripping on to your equipment.
