Page 5: Introduction
• The Maxprobe Lite system fitted with 40m pushrod. The Maxprobe range is not suitable for use in mines susceptible to firedamp, nor in hazardous areas with explosive dust or gas atmospheres, due to the explosive hazards associated with these locations. If there is a potential to encounter explosive conditions during the planned survey or inspection, equipment designed for ATEX operations should be used. - Page 6 Basic user instructions and maintenance tasks are covered within this User Manual. Basic operation and functionality of the Maxprobe System while surveying or inspecting pipelines is also included in this document, to provide instruction on the correct way to set-up, operate, and maintain all aspects of the Maxprobe System.

Page 7: Safety Instructions
Warning: Risk of Injury The fully kitted Maxprobe systems range from 32kg to 58kg. Observe safe lifting procedures when lifting or moving any components of this system and use two- person lifts where appropriate. -
Page 8: Battery Safety Precautions
Maxprobe System when it is connected to an external power source. Battery Safety Precautions The battery is positioned securely within the Maxprobe CCU case. This provides the battery with significant protection from adverse conditions, so the battery will not pose a hazard to operators or co-workers during normal use. -
Page 9: General Safety Precautions
General Safety Precautions Always stay vigilant while operating the Maxprobe System and remain aware of your surroundings. Use the correct personal protective equipment, tools, warning signs and barriers to ensure your own safety, and that of other people nearby. - Page 10 Maxprobe User Manual To reduce the risk of injury or damage to the Maxprobe System, all operators and maintenance personnel must read and understand the user manual before operating the system, changing accessories, or performing maintenance on this camera equipment.

Page 11: Intended Use
Maxprobe User Manual Intended Use The Maxprobe System is designed as a CCTV pipeline survey and inspection system and is suitable for use in non-hazardous locations to survey 50mm to 300mm (2” to 12”) pipelines and sewers up to 120 metres in length using a full-colour video camera fitted to the end of a pushrod. -
Page 12: Operating Temperatures
Charging Temperature: +10°C to +45°C Caution: Do not attempt to operate or charge the Maxprobe CCU outside the recommended temperature specifications, as this may damage the battery. Exposing the battery to temperatures below -20°C or above 60°C may damage the battery or activate the battery’s safety systems, causing a permanent battery failure. -

Page 22: Battery Charge Icon
Figure 12: CCU Battery Status Icons Battery Life The Maxprobe CCU battery will provide around 8 hours of continuous use, though this will vary depending on the conditions of use and the environment. Constant and high power drain usage (such as using the sonde with the LEDs set to full illumination) will result in a shorter operational life before the CCU needs to be connected to an external power source. -
Page 23: Battery Operating And Charging Temperatures
Charging Temperature: +10°C to +45°C Battery Damage The battery is protected within the Maxprobe CCU case and is not exposed to the user in normal operations. If the case is damaged and the battery pack is exposed: • Return the Maxprobe CCU to Scanprobe Techniques Limited, or an approved service centre, for repairs. -
