Warnings, Safety Measures and Care
Please read the safety measures closely and observe them. They preserve your
own safety, the safety of co-workers as well as the prevention of damage to the
SOLOPro+inspection system and its components.
CAUTION!
The operator of the SOLOPro+inspection system must be trained
by either Mini-Cam 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 specified 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.
• There are no user serviceable components within any module in
the system.
DANGER!
Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current!
Only use an appropriately rated and approved cord set in
accordance with the regulation of the country in which this system is
used.

Version G

Mini-Cam CCU210
DANGER!
Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current!

Mini-Cam CCU210
Before first use
Please notice the following sources of risk for serious or deadly injuries:
CAUTION!
Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current!
• Ensure that no fluids can enter the control panel or penetrate
the housing of the cable reel. If this happens, immediately
disconnect the power supply and inform the appropriately
trained staff or Mini-Cam Service Centre.
• Ensure that the electrical connection cables are intact and that
they cannot be bent or crushed. If you find cable damage,
immediately disconnect the power supply and inform the
appropriately trained staff or Mini-Cam Service Centre.
• Work on the electronics, which are not covered in this
document, shall only be carried out by trained specialist staff or
a Mini-Cam Service Centre.
• Maintenance and repair work, which is not covered in this
document, shall only be carried out by trained specialist staff at
a Mini-Cam Service Centre.
CAUTION!
Risk of serious injuries by falling coiler!
When preparing the system for operation pay attention to the
coiler position, that it is on a flat, level surface. When testing the
rod pay-out, the coiler might fall into the manhole. Any person in
the manhole may suffer serious injuries.
CAUTION!
Hazard of infection and contamination of fresh
water!
Never alternate the use of the inspection system for inspections in
wastewater and freshwater! Even a thorough cleaning of the
system will not ensure sufficient protection against contamination.
For inspections in wastewater and freshwater use a separate
inspection system for each. Bacteria can lead to an infection. All
individuals employed for the work must be advised of the hazards
and must be instructed in the required safety measures.

Mini-Cam CCU210
NOTE!
Avoid physical damage!
The operator of the SOLOPro+inspection system is responsible for
the following aspects:

the specifications.
• Observe the operational requirements for this inspection system
as described in this user manual.
• Keep the system clean. Observe the individual cleaning
instructions for this purpose.

Mini-Cam CCU210
Maintenance
To ensure the maximum service life of the SOLOPro+inspection system the
individual modules and accessories belonging to the system have to be
independently maintained and kept clean. Moving parts, in particular, can have
improved operational life by frequent professional cleaning after inspections.
Also, the risk to the operator of infection can be significantly reduced by using
a cleaned system.
Take notice of the following comments on general maintenance:
• Keep the entire system clean and clean the system directly after
each inspection.
• Thoroughly wash down the parts of the system that have come
into contact with moisture and then dry them with a clean and
dry cloth.
• Keep all electrical connections and contacts free of dirt, grease
and moisture at all times.
• Never bend the cable of the system and avoid knots.
• Clean the cable with a rag when retracting.
• Regularly grease all exposed O-rings using O-ring lubricant as
required in the maintenance instruction.
• Use only suitable display cleaners for cleaning the display as
required in the maintenance instruction.
• Use only clean and dust free cloths for cleaning the display.
• Use water for cleaning without the addition of cleaning agents
or solvents.
For detailed maintenance instructions for individual modules and
accessories please read the comments in the description for each
module. The specific maintenance work steps will also be explained.
NOTE!
The operator of the system is responsible for the proper disposal!
See information on page 120 on the return of equipment at the
end of the useful life.
