2.5.1 General hazards at the workplace
Open access to pipe WARNING!
Risk of falling into open access to pipe!
When introducing the camera,it is necessary to open
the access to the pipe.If the work area around the open
access to the pipe is not blocked and/or insufficiently
marked,this can result in a life-threatening fall into the
open access to the pipe.
Severe to fatal injuries can be the consequence.

the pipe and mark it visually (e.g.with signal tape,
flexible barriers and/or pylons).
- Make sure that no unauthorized individuals can enter
the work area and danger zone.
- Properly close access to the pipe once all work has
been completed.
Microbiological pollution WARNING!

2.5.2 Electrical hazards
Electricity DANGER!
Life-threatening electrical hazard!
Contact with live components presents an immediate life-
threatening hazard from electrocution.Damaged insulation
or individual components can be life- threatening.
- During all work on the electrical connection and on
electrical cables,switch off the unit and ensure that no
voltage is present.
- Allow only electrical technicians/electricians to work on
electrical equipment.

disconnect power by pulling the power plug out of the
receptacle and initiate repairs.
- Use only tested, undamaged power cables.
- Always grasp the power plug when pulling,never the
power cable.
- Keep the cable length in mind;consider use of a strain relief.
- Keep moisture away from live components.
Exposure to moisture could result in short-circuits.
- Never operate the unit in a moist environment and/or
place it in water or other liquids.
- Never operate the unit outdoors or under similar
conditions without a 30-mA residual-current-operated
device at the power source.

Safety
Rechargeable batteries (1)
(1) optional accessory
WARNING!
Risk of injury from incorrect handling of rechargeable
batteries!
Rechargeable batteries that are handled improperly
may explode or leak harmful fluid.The liquid can
cause chemical burns on the skins,severe poisoning if
swallowed and blindness if it comes into contact with
the eyes.
- Use only an appropriate charger to charge such batteries.
Always place the batteries in the charger with the poles
(+/-) in the correct orientation.If the battery does not fit
properly, never use force when attempting to insert it.
- Never short-circuit the contacts (plus and minus poles)
of the battery.
- Never expose the battery to wetness or moisture
(rain,salt water, liquids).
A moist or wet battery must not be used or charged
under any circumstances.
- Never use, charge or store the battery in areas where
a potentially explosive atmosphere exists or where high
temperatures can occur.
2.5.3 Mechanical hazards
Crushing hazard when using the advancing reel
WARNING!
Risk of fingers being crushed in the cable guide!
There is a risk of fingers being crushed in the cable
guide on the advancing reel when retracting and
extending the pushing cable.The result may be broken
bones and bruised fingers.
- Retract and extend the advancing cable slowly.
- Always wear protective gloves.
- Keep fingers away from the cable guide when retracting
and extending the cable.
- When retracting and extending the pushing cable,
always hold the advancing reel securely by the handle.

14
Safety
Rotating advancing reel WARNING!
Risk of injury during use with rotating
advancing reel!
The advancing reel rotates while the pushing cable
is advanced and retracted. Reaching into the rotating
advancing reel can cause severe injuries.
- Always wear protective gloves.
- When retracting and extending the pushing cable,always
hold the advancing reel securely by the handle.
- Retract and extend the advancing cable slowly.
- Always use the quick-clamp lever to stop/brake the
rotating advancing reel. Never reach directly into the
advancing reel with your hands.
ATTENTION!
Improper use in pipe runs with non-return flaps!
Non-return flaps in pipe runs automatically drop closed
after the camera head has been inserted, preventing
retraction of the camera head.This results in blockage
of the pipe,time-consuming and expensive repair work
on the pipe,including severe damage and possibly even
destruction of the unit.
- Never use the unit in pipe runs with non-return flaps.
- As soon as a non-return flap is recognized on the display of
the LCD monitor,interrupt the visual inspection immediately
and retract the camera head from the pipe run.
Use in pipe runs with
non-return flaps
Broken glass on
camera objective ATTENTION!
Risk of glass breakage from objects in the object
being inspected!
If the camera head encounters an obstruction during the
visual inspection,this can result in serious damage and/or
breakage of the protective glass on the camera objective.
- Move the camera head slowly and cautiously through the
object being inspected.
- As soon as an obstruction is recognized on the display
of the LCD monitor,interrupt the visual inspection and
remove the obstruction from the object being inspected so
that the camera’s advance can proceed without difficulty.
