Turning Your Monitor On
Press and hold the Multi-Function button until the counter starts flashing.
Once the counter is flashing, release the button to reset the counter to zero.
Insert the battery to turn on the controller and initiate the display. System will
turn on automatically.
Note: It is good practice to remove batteries from electronic
equipment after use. Failure to do so may result in the batteries
being drained over extended periods.
USER INSTRUCTIONS
On the main screen push and hold the Multi-Function button until the footage
counter stops flashing to turn the sonde on or off. Sondes are locatable up to
~15ft depth, dependent upon the type of pipe (concrete/steel/cast iron) and the
presence of thick concrete, sand or other utilities.

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.
Under normal operating situations, the camera is used with a smaller
protective sleeve in lines under 4” in diameter or a larger grooved skid in 4”
lines or larger.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Slowly push the camera into the pipe and maneuver the camera into
position to feed down the pipe, making sure the flex neck does not kink
or double back on itself.
Push the camera slowly and carefully during the inspection, taking
note of the conditions of the pipe for possible hazards that may
entangle or damage the camera on entry or retrieval.
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. If resistance is
encountered when turning the corner and there are no visible signs of
blockage, turning the push rod or pulling the camera back and forth
sometimes helps.
Should resistance become extreme, or the camera get entangled or
stuck, slowly push it back and forth to free it. Sometimes, turning the
push rod may also help. If the camera is visible, you may be able to
free it with your hand or by some other means.
Upon completion of the inspection and retrieval of the camera, it may
be necessary to ‘manipulate’ the camera around the initial bend (clean
out) in the pipe with a pole or other device if required.
NEVER use the camera to unclog a drain or clear debris in the pipe.
Doing so can cause damage to the camera head or lens.
NEVER force the camera down a pipe as this may cause a kinked cable
which will require expensive repairs.
NEVER use a pressure washer to clean any part of the system. High
pressure water can cause degradation of the electronic parts, causing
damage.
NEVER unspool all of the rod from a reel. Always leave a few turns of
rod on the reel to aid with respooling.
