Description
The SeeSnake®MINI Pak is a modern, hand-portable
monitor and camera control unit for use with a SeeSnake
Pipe Inspection diagnostic system.
The MINI Pak is designed to easily connect with a
SeeSnake reel and camera and provide a clear image of
the camera’s field of view. It provides readily accessible
controls for adjusting the camera and the display, and for
controlling the 512 Hz in-line Sonde built in to most
SeeSnake cameras, which allows the operator to locate
the camera when it is underground. The MINI Pak also en-
ables the operator to connect an external transmitter to the
SeeSnake cable and use a standard locator to line-trace
the path of the SeeSnake cable in a pipe.
The MINI Pak is used in conjunction with any SeeSnake
reel configuration (see Figure 8) . Other auxiliary equip-
ment used with the SeeSnake MINI Pak includes:
• Rechargeable batteries (Ridge CAT # 32743).
• A RIDGID locator/receiver (such as the SR-20, the
SR-60, the Scout™ or the NaviTrack®II).
• A RIDGID transmitter (such as the ST-510, the ST-305,
the ST-33Q, the NaviTrack®Brick or the NaviTrack®10-
watt transmitter).
• The Count Plus Cable Counter cable-measurement
system, normally built into SeeSnake pipe inspection
systems.

Powering The SeeSnake MINI Pak
The SeeSnake MINI Pak can either be powered with
RIDGID Li-Ion rechargeable battery or plugged in to
an outlet using a supplied AC/DC power converter.
Battery power is the preferred powering method to re-
duce the risk of electrical shock. Additionally, the
power converter is not rated for outdoor use and
should only be used indoors.
Battery Power
With dry hands, slide a fully charged battery onto the bat-
tery dock on the back of the MINI Pak . Make sure that the
battery locks onto the dock. See the Battery Charger op-
erator’s manual for more information.
Batteries supplied for the MINI Pak are rated at 2.2 amp-
hours. When fully charged, depending on use (recording
time, etc.) the MINI Pak will run for approximately 5 hours
(actual time may vary). Battery Status on screen indicator
indicates battery charge level (Figure 9) .
Figure 9 – Battery Charge Level
Outlet Power
For plug in operation, a double insulated AC/DC power
supply is supplied to reduce wall outlet voltage to the cor-
rect voltage for the MINI Pak .
The external power supply is intended for in-
door use only.
To power the system up with the power cord, locate
the power supply. The power supply cord has two sec-
tions, one of which plugs into a standard 110-120V two-
bladed outlet (US) at one end and plugs into a power
supply at the other end. The second section runs from
the power supply to the back of the MINI
Pak and plugs
into the jack marked 25 Watts—14-16V at the left side
of the back of the unit
(Figure 6) .
With dry hands, connect the two sections together and in-
sert the jack plug into the jack on the back of the MINI
Pak .
Route the cord along a clear path and with dry hands plug
the power supply into a matching outlet. If using an ex-
tension cord ensure it is of adequate wire gauge. For
cords of 25 feet, a minimum gauge of 18AWG is re-
quired. For cords greater than 25 feet, a minimum gauge
of 16 AWG is required.
To remove all power to the unit, unplug the power
plug and remove the battery.
Operating Instructions
WARNING

Once the start-up instructions above are complete, the
display should be showing a view from the camera
head. Monitoring the camera is simply a matter of watch-
ing the screen as you push the camera through the
pipe.
Inspecting The Line
1. Power up the MINI Pak if it is OFF.
2. Put the camera head in the line.
3. Proceed with pipe inspection as described in your
SeeSnake manual.
Brightness Adjustment
You may find you need to increase or decrease the
camera LED brightness while inspecting the inside of a
line, depending on conditions. To do so simply press the
Brightness Key and raise or lower the brightness
level using the Arrow Key . Press the Menu Key
when done.
Image Rotation
While doing an inspection the camera may become ro-
tated in the line and present an inverted image. The
Flip Key will rotate the image on the screen (flip it
vertically) for easier viewing.
Count Plus Control
If you are using a SeeSnake reel equipped with the
Count Plus distance counter, the measured distance will
appear on the display. If you want to set an interim zero-
point to measure distance from some location (such as a
junction or pipe-head) pressing the Zero Key will start
a temporary distance count, with the number displayed in
square brackets [0.0]. A second short press will return to
the main count. A long press (3 seconds) will re-zero
the main distance counter.
For details on using the Count Plus see the Count Plus
manual. Count Plus parameters such as date and time are
set using the Count Plus menu key and going to the
Count Plus Tools menu. Count Plus text overlays are man-
aged with the Count Plus keypad as described in the
Count Plus Operator's Manual.
Locating The Camera Using The Sonde
Many SeeSnake pipe inspection systems have a built-in
Sonde which transmits a locatable 512 Hz signal. When
the Sonde is turned on, a locator such as the RIDGID
SR-20, SR-60, Scout™ or NaviTrack®II set to 512 Hz will
be able to detect it, allowing you to detect the camera’s lo-
cation underground.
To turn the SeeSnake Sonde ON while using the
MINI Pak, press the Sonde Key . A Sonde icon will ap-
pear on the display while the Sonde is ON. The display
may also show some lines of interference from the
Sonde’s transmission.
These will vanish when the Sonde is turned OFF by
again pressing the Sonde Key .
The most workable approach to tracking the Sonde is to
run the pushrod into the pipe about five or ten feet (1.5
to 3 meters) and use the locator to find the Sonde’s
position. If desired, you can then extend the pushrod a
similar distance further down-pipe and locate the Sonde
again starting from the previous located position. To

Figure 12 – Line Tracing the Pushrod
If you don’t have the SimulTrace™ feature, use a line
transmitter and a locator to line-trace the pushrod. When
the signal fades, switch the locator to Sonde mode at the
frequency of the in-line Sonde, usually 512 Hz. Pick the
signal up from where the line-trace frequency started to
weaken and zero in on the in-line Sonde. Because lo-
cating frequencies from transmitters can cause distor-
tion of the image on the monitor, it is best to turn Sonde
and line transmitters off while inspecting the interior of a
line and turn them on only when ready to do a locate.

mode. Scan in the direction of the Sonde’s probable lo-
cation until the locator detects the Sonde. Once you
have detected the Sonde, use the locator indications to
zero in on its location precisely. For detailed instructions
on Sonde locating, consult the Operator’s Manual for the
locator model you are using.
Line Tracing The SeeSnake Pushrod
In addition to being able to trace a Sonde built into the
system camera, the MINI Pak also enables you to trace the
line of the SeeSnake push cable underground, using a
standard RIDGID locator such as the NaviTrack®II, the
Scout™, the SR-20 or the SR-60. To line-trace the
SeeSnake push cable, simply connect a line transmitter
with one connector well-grounded using the grounding
stake, and the other connector clipped to the MINI Pak ’s
Transmitter Clip-on Terminal. The Transmitter Clip-on
Terminal is a metal lug located just to the right of the bat-

Consignes générales de sécurité
AVERTISSEMENT
Familiarisez-vous avec l’ensemble du mode d’emploi. Le
non-respect des consignes d’utilisation et de sécurité
ci-après augmenterait les risques de choc électrique,
d’incendie et/ou de grave blessure corporelle.
CONSERVEZ L’ENSEMBLE DES
INSTRUCTIONS ET AVERTISSEMENTS
POUR FUTURE REFERENCE !
Sécurité des lieux
•Assurez-vous de la propreté et du bon éclairage
des lieux. Les zones encombrées ou mal éclairées
sont une invitation aux accidents.
•N’utilisez pas d’appareils électriques en présence
de matières explosives telles que liquides, gaz ou
poussières combustibles. Les appareils électriques
produisent des étincelles susceptibles d’enflammer
les poussières et émanations combustibles.
•Eloignez les enfants et les curieux lors de l’utili-
sation d’un appareil électrique. Les distractions
risquent de vous faire perdre le contrôle de l’appareil.
Sécurité électrique
•Evitez tout contact physique avec les objets reliés
à la terre tels que canalisations, radiateurs, cuisi-
nières et réfrigérateurs. Tout contact avec la terre
augmenterait les risques de choc électrique.
•N’exposez pas l’appareil à la pluie ou aux intem-
péries. Toute pénétration d’eau à l’intérieur d’un ap-
pareil électrique augmenterait les risques de choc
électrique.
•Ne maltraitez pas le cordon d’alimentation de l’ap-
pareil. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour trans-
porter, tirer ou débrancher l’appareil. Éloignez le
cordon des sources de chaleur, des matières
huileuses, des objets tranchants et des mécan-
ismes. Les cordons d’alimentation endommagés ou
tortillés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.
•Lorsqu’il est inévitable de travailler dans des en-
droits mouillés, utilisez une source d’alimentation
protégée par disjoncteur différentiel (GFCI). La
présence d’un disjoncteur différentiel limite les risques
de choc électrique.
•Maintenez toutes connexions électriques au sec et
en élévation. Ne pas toucher le matériel et ses
fiches électriques avec les mains mouillées. Cela
limitera les risques de choc électrique.
Sécurité individuelle
•Soyez attentif, faites attention à ce que vous faites

AVIS IMPORTANT

Ridge Tool Company
16
SeeSnake®MINI Pak
•Prévoyez les équipements de protection individu-
elle nécessaires. Portez systématiquement une pro-
tection oculaire. Le port d’un masque à poussière, de
chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes, d’un casque de
chantier ou de protecteurs d’oreilles s’impose lorsque
les conditions l’exigent.
•Ne vous mettez pas en porte-à-faux. Maintenez
une bonne position de travail et un bon équilibre à
tout moment. Cela vous permettra de mieux con-
trôler l’appareil en cas d’imprévu.
•Habillez-vous de manière appropriée. Ne portez ni
vêtements flottants, ni bijoux. Eloignez vos che-
veux, vos vêtements et vos gants des mécanismes
de l’appareil. Les vêtements flottants, les bijoux et les
cheveux longs risquent d’être entraînés par le mé-
canisme.
Utilisation et entretien du matériel
•Ne forcez pas le matériel. Prévoyez le matériel ap-
proprié en fonction des travaux envisagés. Le
matériel approprié fera le travail plus efficacement et
avec un plus grand niveau de sécurité lorsqu’il tourne
au régime prévu.
•N’utilisez pas de matériel électrique dont l’inter-
rupteur ne contrôle pas la mise en marche ou
l’arrêt. Tout appareil électrique qui ne peut pas être
contrôlé par son interrupteur est dangereux et doit
être réparé.
•Débranchez l’appareil et/ou retirez son bloc-piles
avant de le régler, de changer ses accessoires ou
de le ranger. De telles mesures préventives limiteront
les risques de blessure.
•Rangez tout appareil non utilisé hors de la portée
des enfants et des individus qui n’ont pas été fa-
miliarisés avec ce type de matériel ou son mode
d’emploi. Les appareils électriques peuvent devenir
dangereux s’ils tombent entre les mains d’utilisateurs
non initiés.
•Veillez à l’entretien de l’appareil. Examinez-le pour
signes de désalignement, de grippage, d’absence ou de
bris de ces composants, et de toute autre anomalie qui
risquerait de nuire à son bon fonctionnement. Le cas
échéant, faire réparer l’appareil avant de l’utiliser. De
nombreux accidents sont provoqués par des appareils
mal entretenus.
•Servez-vous de l’appareil et de ses accessoires
selon les consignes ci-présentes en tenant compte
des conditions de travail et des travaux envisagés.
L’utilisation de ce matériel à des fins autres que celles
prévues pourrait s’avérer dangereux.
•Utilisez exclusivement les accessoires prévus par
le fabricant pour votre type d’appareil particulier.
Toute tentative d’adaptation d’accessoires prévus
pour d’autres types d’appareil pourrait s’avérer dan-
gereuse.
•Maintenez les poignées de l’appareil en bon état de
propreté et éliminez la moindre trace d’huile ou de
graisse. Cela permettra de mieux tenir l’appareil.
Utilisation et entretien des piles
•Utilisez exclusivement le chargeur prévu par le
fabricant pour recharger les bloc-piles. L’emploi
d’un chargeur prévu pour d’autres types de piles aug-
menterait les risques d’incendie.
•N’utilisez que le modèle de bloc-piles spécifique-
ment désigné pour cet appareil. L’emploi de tout
autre type de bloc-piles augmenterait les risques de
blessure et d’incendie.
•N’introduisez aucun objet conducteur d’électricité
dans le bloc-piles. Lorsqu’il ne sert pas, éloignez-
le de tout objet métallique (trombones, pièces de
monnaie, clés, clous, vis et autres) qui serait sus-
ceptible de ponter les deux bornes du bloc-piles.
Un court-circuit entre les deux bornes du bloc-piles
pourrait provoquer des brûlures ou un incendie.
•En cas de suintement de l’électrolyte du bloc-
piles suite à un traitement abusif, évitez tout con-
tact celui-ci. En cas de contact cutané, rincez la
peau à l’eau courante. En cas de contact oculaire,
faites de même, puis consultez en plus un méde-
cin. Ce type d’électrolyte est susceptible de provoquer
des irritations et des brûlures.
•Utilisez et stockez le bloc-piles et le chargeur dans
les limites de température et d’humidité précon-
isées. Les extrêmes de température et d’humidité
peuvent endommager les piles au point de provoquer
des fuites d’électrolyte, des chocs électriques, des in-
cendies et des brûlures. Consultez le mode d’emploi du
chargeur pour de plus amples détails.
•Ne pas recouvrir le chargeur lorsqu’il fonctionne.
Une ventilation adéquate est essentielle à son bon
fonctionnement. Le recouvrement du chargeur pourrait
provoquer un incendie.
•Recyclez les piles de manière appropriée. Dans
la mesure où une température trop élevée risque déjà
de le faire exploser le bloc-piles, ne jamais l’incinérer.
Certains pays disposent d’une réglementation visant le
recyclage des piles. Le cas échéant, veuillez respecter
l’ensemble des textes applicables.

tection individuelle appropriés lors de la manipu-
lation ou utilisation de ce matériel sur les conduites
d’évacuation. Les canalisations d’évacuation peuvent
renfermer des produits chimiques, des bactéries ou
autres substances potentiellement toxiques, infec-
tieuses, irritantes ou autrement dangereuses. Les
équipements de protection individuelle appropriés com-
prennent systématiquement les lunettes et de sécurité,
voire éventuellement des équipements supplémen-
taires tels que gants ou mitaines de curage, gants en
latex ou caoutchouc, visières intégrales, lunettes fer-
mées, vêtements de protection, appareils respiratoires
ou chaussures de sécurité blindées.
•Lors de l’utilisation simultanée d’un dégorgeoir et
du système d’inspection, portez exclusivement
des gants de curage RIDGID. Ne jamais tenter de tenir
un câble de dégorgeoir avec autre chose, y compris

risquent de s’entortiller autour de câble et de blesser vos
mains. Ne portez des gants en latex ou en caoutchouc
que sous les gants de curage RIDGID. N’utilisez pas de
gants de curage endommagés.
•Respectez les normes d’hygiène d’usage. Après
chaque intervention, lavez vos mains et autres par-
ties du corps exposées au contenu des évacuations
avec de l’eau chaude savonneuse. Ne pas manger
ou fumer lors de la manipulation ou utilisation du
matériel d’inspection. Cela aidera à éviter les risques de
contamination par contact avec des substances tox-
iques ou infectieuses.
