CUES POLICY ON RETURNING MATERIALS
To ensure the orderly return of CUES products from our customers and to assure proper credit and warranty
replacements handled in a timely manner, CUES has implemented a MATERIAL RETURN AUTHORIZA-
TION (MRA) SYSTEM. Please read and follow the instructions below to ensure your MRA is handled
properly and eciently:
1. Once it is determined that a CUES product needs to be returned, call the CUES Parts
Department in Orlando at 1-800-327-7791.
2. CUES will provide an MRA number by phone and ask a few questions.
3. CUES will then mail or fax the MATERIAL RETURN AUTHORIZATION (MRA) FORM
with the MRA number, or include it with the replacement parts, if applicable.
4. Follow all instructions on the MRA Form. Make 2 copies - one for your records and the other
will be used as a packing list.
5. Place an MRA sheet in with the parts that are shipped back to CUES along with a copy of the
original packing slip or invoice, if possible. Send only the parts originally agreed upon with your

CAMERA CONTROLLER - The controller includes the
following toggle switches: ZOOM, SHUTTER, IRIS,
LAMPS, AUTO FOCUS, FOCUS, and HOME for control
of magnication, shutter speed, iris f-stop, lamps, auto
focus, manual focus, and homing of the eld of view.
JOYSTICK OPERATIONS - The joystick is used to
control the movement of the camera head.
Most OZ-II cameras are at their “home” position
when the fork supporting the camera head is vertical
and the camera head itself is free to move from home
within the fork both to the left and to the right. This
is the “standard” camera orientation. OZ-II cameras
can also be ordered with a dierent “home” position
- the fork supporting the camera head is horizontal
and the camera head itself is free to move from home
within the fork both upwards and downwards. This
is done by rotating the camera barrel -degrees so
the fork supporting the camera head is horizontal and
rotating the camera module within the camera head
by -degrees so that the picture is upright at this
“home” position. Whereas, in the “standard” camera
orientation, left or right movement of the joystick
causes the camera head to move left or right within
the supporting fork and up or down movement of
the joystick causes the fork to rotate, the opposite is
desired for this -degree-rotated orientation.
The following procedure allows selection of the
desired joystick orientation as being“standard,”“right,”
or “left.” Either “right” or “left” joystick orientation
may be preferred by the operator.
The “right” orientation causes the joystick-camera
relationship to function similar to an aircraft ight stick:
• Forward movement of the joystick causes the
camera head to pitch down like the nose of an aircraft.
• Rearward movement of the joystick causes the
camera head to pitch up like the nose of an aircraft.
• Left and right movement of the joystick causes the
supporting fork to roll in that direction like an aircraft.
The “left” orientation causes the joystick-camera
relationship to function opposite to an aircraft ight
stick:
• Forward (upward) movement of the joystick
causes the camera head move upwards.
• Rearward (downward) movement of the joystick
causes the camera move downwards.

CONTROLLER OPERATIONAL DETAILS
A camera which is in the “standard” orientation,
described on the previous page, is provided with two
options for joystick control of the supporting fork’s
rotation. These two options are termed “rotational”
control and “directional” control:
• “Rotational” control is the historic norm, wherein
upward movement of the joystick causes the support-
ing fork to rotate one wayand downward movement
of the joystick causes it to rotate the other way.
• “Directional” control is intended as more intuitive.
When the camera head has been panned to the “home”
position, control is identical to the “rotational” con-
trol described above. However, if the camera head
has been panned out of the “home” position,
upward movement of the joystick causes the f o r k
to rotate in such a direction that the eld of view
moves upwards in the pipe and downward movement
of the joystick causes the fork to rotate in such a
direction that the eld of view moves downwards in
the pipe.
Procedure: Selecting the Joystick Tilt Sense as Rota-
tional or Directional (IMPORTANT: The default is
already set at the factory as ‘rotational’.)
1 Turn o the PCU/CCU. Note: If controller
is equipped with an on/o switch, turn the
controller o.
2 While depressing the home button, hold the
joystick up or down and power up the PCU/CCU.
3 Turn on the controller (if applicable).
4 Once the LED illuminates on the controller,
release control buttons.
5 Verify the operation.
For ‘rotational’ joystick operations:
Move the joystick left/right to move the
panning head left/right.
Move the joystick up to rotate the camera
clockwise.
Move the joystick down to rotate the
camera counter-clockwise.
For ‘directional’ joystick operations (note: the direc-
tional tilt sense is only available if the joystick orientation
is set for a standard camera module as explained in
the previous procedure):
When the camera is left or right of ‘home’:
Move the joystick upwards to view upwards
in the pipe.
Move the joystick downwards to view
downwards in the pipe.
FOCUS PUSH-BUTTON - Toggle the button to focus
NEAR and FAR.
ZOOM PUSH-BUTTON -Toggle the zoom push button
at any time during the inspection to zoom the OZII™
camera IN and OUT.
IRIS PUSH-BUTTON - Toggle the iris push-button to
OPEN or CLOSE the camera iris.
AUTOEXPOSURE
Procedure: Enabling/Disabling the Autoexpo-sure
(IMPORTANT: The default is already set at the
factory as ‘enabled’.)
Turn o the PCU/CCU. Note: If controller is
equipped with an on/o switch, turn the
controller o.
While holding down the iris CLOSE or OPEN
and the home button, power up the PCU/CCU.
Turn on the controller (if applicable).
Once the LED illuminates, release control buttons.
5 Verify the operation.

AUTOMATIC FOCUS/LAMPS PUSHBUTTON
Usually the operator will nd that the automatic
initiation of autofocus when the camera head is panning
will be helpful; however, under certain circumstances
this automatic feature may be found to be a hindrance.
By example, the operator may spend some considerable
time attempting to focus on something beyond a cloud
of mist or fog and then pan the camera head slightly
in an attempt to better center the viewed image. If
autofocus were enabled, the camera may well refocus
on the cloud itself, necessitating that the operator
repeat the lengthy focusing chore. The procedure
below details the method for disabling autofocus.
Procedure: Enabling/Disabling the Autofocus
(IMPORTANT: The default is already set at the
factory as ‘enabled’.)
1 Turn o the PCU/CCU. Note: If controller is
equipped with an on/o switch, turn the
controller o.
2 While holding down the FOCUS NEAR or
FOCUS FAR button and the home button,
power up the PCU/CCU.
3 Turn on the controller (if applicable).
4 Once the LEDilluminates, release control buttons.
5 Verify the operation.
If the autofocus is enabled:
* Toggle the automatic focus/lamps push-button to
“AutoFocus”.The camera will autofocus on the current
scene.
The camera electronics are well designed thermally
to prevent heat buildup and, in the unlikely event of
overheating, a protection circuit will reduce or turn o
the lights, the greatest source of that heat. Most cam-
eras will never experience such an overheating event;
however, under certain circumstances it can occur.
By example, if the camera were operated continually
for an extended period of several hours with the lights
at full brightness in small diameter pipe with minimal
airow and elevated ambient temperature, this could
occur. For this reason, a selectable light voltage limit
of “high” or “low” is provided. Importantly, in such
circumstances of small diameter pipe, less lighting is
necessary to illuminate the scene, so no degradation
of the video would be anticipated.
Procedure: Selecting the Light Voltage Limit as
HIGH or LOW (IMPORTANT: The default is
already set at the factory as ‘HIGH’.)
1 Turn o the PCU/CCU. Note: If controller is
equipped with an on/o switch, turn the
controller o.
2 While depressing the home button, hold down
the lamps button.
3 Turn on the controller (if applicable).
4 Once the LEDilluminates, release control buttons.
Display the diagnostics screen to verify proper
light voltage limit settings.
To turn the camera lights ON or OFF, toggle the
automatic focus/lamps pushbutton to LAMPS.
When the switch is in the “Lamps” position, the
internal lamps will toggle on and o. If inadequate
voltage is detected, the lamps will not illuminate
and the following message will be displayed on the
monitor: ‘Power Too Low’. Note that the lights can
be adjusted while this message is being displayed.
