Product Description
The inspection system PROTEUS
™
is a modular system designed for, but
not limited to, inspecting pipeline systems. Using a variety of colour
cameras, optional modules and accessories, the PROTEUS
™
platform
oers everything needed for professional pipeline inspection.
The comprehensive list of modules and accessories allow inspection of
pipes equal to and greater than 150mm diameter. Dierent wheel sets
allow the crawlers to be centred in pipe sizes from 150mm to 1000mm.
The Auxiliary Light with Backeye Camera provides additional forward
illumination and a colour rear view camera with illumination to aid
manoeuvring the crawler in reverse. The system uses a control unit with
twin joysticks, keyboard, and reporting software developed in-house by
Minicam.
Built using high quality materials and state of the art technology the
PROTEUS
™
inspection system is a robust and powerful tool for use in
harsh environments.

Warnings, Safety Measures and Care
Please read the safety measures closely and observe them. They pre-
serve your own safety, the safety of co-workers as well as the prevention
of damage to the PROTEUS
™
inspection system and its components.
CAUTION!
The operator of the PROTEUS
™
inspection system must be
trained by either Minicam or one of its authorised
representatives before using the system.
CAUTION!
Despite all of the safety functions built into the system, the
operator is not exonerated in any way from his/her duty of
care. Thus the user alone is responsible for any damage
caused as a result of misuse.
CAUTION!
If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
DANGER!
Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current!
The mains plug and or IEC connector of the PSU is the supply
isolation device and must be easily accessible.
DANGER!
Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current!
• The power supply for the crawler can generate a high
voltage which can be considered hazardous, however this
supply cannot be switched on unless all parts of the system
are connected. Consequently this supply is not accessible,
and as soon as any connection is exposed or disconnected
the power supply will automatically shut o.
• This hazardous voltage may be exposed if the control unit,
cable reel or crawler is opened while the system is operational.
Therefore the modules of the system should only be opened
by a Minicam Service Centre.
