3. Safety
3.1 Setting up & connecting the system
Mind the following aspects before setting up or starting up the system:
Place the Easybox on a dry and solid ground.
Place the reel in such way that it cannot fall into the well.
Be aware the system is switched off and not connected to the power grid before you
connect any connector. For further instructions how to connect read chapter 4
3.2 Electricity
The system operates on a 230V/50Hz current and on 12V DC. Be sure that the
system is set up in a dry environment. Prevent water or moisture getting in or on the
industrial box.
By using a wrong or instable electric current the system will be badly damaged and
warranty will void.
We recommend: do NOT use an generator.
Using an inverter (12V DC to 230V AC); The minimum power output must be 150W
continuous. The peak output must be 300W. The output must also be a pure sinus.
Your dealer could help you select a suitable inverter.
By using an underpowered inverter or an inverter with no pure sinus as output
you could harm your system. Warranty will void.
Use always a power point which is connected to ground.
3.3 Temperature and moisture
In case the system is not in use it has to be stored in a dry and ventilated room. The
temperature during use and storage has to stay between 0°C and 45°C.
Be aware of this during winter periods in case you keep your inspection system in
your company car or van.

4.10 Tool (accessories)
The tool to ‘steer’ the ZRK70 camerahead
has to be mounted as follows. First, remove
the black plastic guide plate on the side
where the “endstop” sticker is positioned.
Replace this plate with the newly supplied
aluminium plate. Secondly, unscrew the two
central screws which are positioned left and
right from the camera glass. Then place and
fixate the mounting plate of the tool on the
camerafront by using the two new screws
from the tool set.
ATTENTION: make sure the aluminium
“endstop” plate is on top side and pointer
of the tool is on the opposite.
4.11 Steering unit (accessories)
Using the steering unit makes it possible to ‘steer’ the camera head into a side
branch. The functionality and controls of the camera head (ao. the ZRK70) remaines
unchanged. The steering unit is operated with the same remote control as the
ZRK70.
Attention, before mounting:
Remove moist and dirt from the springpiece, camera head and fiber
connection
Make sure you work with dry hands
Prevent dirt and/or contaminated water from reaching the connectors
Mounting the Steering Unit
1. switch off the inspection system in case
this is actived
2. unscrew the camera head from the
spring piece, in case of the ZRK70, only
turn at the black part of the camera
head!
3. unscrew the spring piece from the push
fiber
4. put the rear of the steering unit onto the
push fiber end, beware, this can only be
achieved in one way, check for the pin.
Accordingly, screw the push fiber to the
steering unit
5. screw the camera head onto the
steering unit
6. activate the system

Maintance of O-rings (sealing ring)
In case you sense friction during screwing the different parts, you can apply
lubrication (Vaseline etc). This will also lengthen the life of the O-rings.
4.12 Guides (accessories)
There are several guides available to position the camera head in to the pipe.
Be aware: Do not turn the front ring of the camera (45mm camera). In case you
unscrew the guide a leakage can be caused and the warranty will void.
4.13 Transmitter with the 36, 45 and 48 mm camera (optional)
The camerahead of the 36 mm, 45 mm and the 48 mm systems can be equiped with
a 512 Hz transmitter (can also be done on a future date). The camerahead can be
localized above ground by using a receiver/detector.
Activation of the transmitter, is very straight forward by using the controlpanel switch.
During the activation the camera lighting is switched to its maximum. When the
transmitter is activated the lighting cannot be adjusted.
De-activation happens by pushing the switch again. When the transmitter is de-
activated the lighting will show a small decline in intensity, but will regain its strenght
immediately.

Operating the system
When operating the system two aspect have to be taken into account.
1. The system has a delay function. This means that after
you´ve turned the knob it will take a few moments before
the truck actually starts driving.
2. Synchronization. When shifting direction (from forward to
backward (and vice versa) the truck and reel need to
communicate before starting with the next command.
Use the turning knob to drive the truck forward and backward. Be aware of the
system´s delay function so, gently turn the knob. Please, take special care when
shifting from driving forward to backward, and vice versa. Turn the knob in the neutral
position and wait a second before shifting to the other direction.

98323408 N manual easybox UK.doc rev N page 13 of 19
5. Maintenance
It’s of great importance to regularly clean and grease the system. If you do this at a
regular base it will increase the lifetime of the system.
After each inspection the system should be cleaned thoroughly, especially the
camera head and the connectors. Any sand or dirt on the camera head, connectors
or other moving parts should be removed after an inspection, do this with a clean
cloth or brush.
The reel or the box may never be cleaned with high pressure water cleaners.
We advise to deliver the system to your dealer for service every once a year. During
the service the system will be checked for operation, safety and any possible wear.
