is not long enough, be sure to use 3-wire heavy-duty extension cord no more than 50

feet long and in good condition. Using lighter cords can result in severe power loss and motor overheating.

• Neutralize or remove corrosive drain

cleaners from drain before starting.

Exposure to these chemicals can cause injury to the operator and damage the equipment.

• Do not operate machine if operator or

machine is standing in water. Will increase the risk of electrical shock.

ABOUT THE INSPECTION CAMERA

ƒ

The camera, although manufactured for the harsh environments in which it will be used, should be treated carefully as damage may occur if dropped or “butted” severely against the pipe or any other hard surface. The stainless steel camera housing is made to protect the camera and electronics to a large extent; however, it can be damaged by denting which may cause possible failure of the protective and watertight

O-ring seals that may cause the camera to fail.

The camera, housing, and front viewing lens should be checked thoroughly after each use for signs of damage and if required should be corrected prior to further use.

ƒ

The camera should always be cleaned and inspected after every use as dirt, grime and grease can cause unnecessary problems such as failure of the camera seals.

ƒ

The camera spring is attached to the cable via three (3) 4-40 x ½” stainless steel hex socket cap screws. This connection includes an O-ring sealing the connection from water leakage. This connection should be checked after every use to ensure that the screws have not loosened during the course of the inspection.

ƒ

If disconnecting the camera from the push rod, make sure that the O-ring is in good condition and/or replaced when replacing the camera onto the push rod.

ƒ

The camera lens, front nose piece and lights should be cleaned and checked after every use for possible damage to the lens or light covers and to prevent a build up of dirt and grime which may cause a degradation of the video picture.

ƒ

Should camera disassembly be required for any reason (for replacing seals, etc.) always ensure the camera has first been cleaned and taken to a clean area for disassembly. Take extra precaution to avoid dirt getting into the camera body and any mating components such as the nosepiece, main body, and connectors.

COMMAND MODULE

The Command Module should not be used in wet locations or in the rain as moisture may cause damage to the unit.

Fuses for line voltage, camera and camera lights are on the top panel for easy accessibility. Should replacement become necessary, replace only with the same value and type as the original.

Never substitute fuses as damage may occur and may void your warranty. However, if the fuses continue to trip for no apparent reason, please consult the factory and do not use the system until the problem has been determined. If the Command

Module does not seem to be operating properly or if you suspect a problem with the electronics, do not operate it and call the factory for a service center near you.

Camera Transmitter (512HZ)

Your system includes a 512 Hz transmitter, which is located safely in the spring behind the camera.

When the Command Module is turned on, the transmitter will be automatically activated.

!

CAUTION

CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN USING THE

TRANSMITTER IN THE SPRING AS EXCESSIVE

BENDING AND TWISTING MORE THAN 180

DEGREES MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT.

Gen-Eye Spectra™ Video Pipe Inspection/Location System

Pre-Inspection Procedure

On arrival to the job site and after checking for a properly grounded receptacle (see previous page -

Command Module), set the Command Module in an easily viewable position where it will not interfere with the inspection.

For AC Voltage Operation:

Plug the socket end of the AC cord into the AC socket on the side panel of the Command Module.

When using 120 volts AC, care should be taken to ensure that it is plugged into a properly grounded receptacle to prevent damage to the unit

For DC Voltage Operation:

Plug the socket end of the DC cord into the DC socket on the side panel of the Command Module.

When using 12 volts DC, the unit plugs into a vehicle’s cigarette lighter. For 12VDC, the vehicle engine must be running to operate the camera system.

The AC or DC cord should always be plugged into the Command Module first, then into the wall or 12VDC socket. NEVER plug into the AC socket or DC source first.

OPERATION

1. Check and make sure the Camera Light Head

Intensity Control is set at the “MIN” position.

2. Unwind the interface cord from the side of the reel and plug it into the Reel input connector on the side panel of the Command Module. Make sure the connector is properly aligned and then tighten.

3. Plug the keyboard connector into the connector on the top panel.

4. Once all connections have been checked, plug the other end of the AC cord (or DC cord) into the appropriate power source (120VAC or

12VDC).

5.

Set the Power switch on the control unit front panel to either 120 VAC (up) or 12 VDC (down) position, depending on which voltage you have plugged the power cord into. With the power switch in the “ON” position, the DVD video recorder and monitor turn on automatically. If there is no picture, check all connections and repeat the above steps.

DVD RECORDER REQUIRES TIME TO

INITIALIZE (APPROX. 30 SECONDS) BEFORE A

PICTURE APPEARS.

6. Once the picture has been established, turn on the camera light power switch and slowly turn the Light Intensity Control clockwise until the camera starts to light, and if OK return the control to “MIN.”

If you wish to record your inspection, make sure you insert a blank DVD-R disc into the recorder and press [RECORD] on the DVD recorder or remote control.

SKIDS

Depending on the size of pipe you are inspecting, you may need to use the supplied skid or sleeve assembly so the camera is centered of off the bottom of the pipe. Care should be taken so the skids do not snag in the pipe.

Under normal operating situations, the camera is used with the smaller protective sleeve in 4” lines or the larger finned sleeve in 6” and larger pipes.

The skids supplied should be slipped onto the camera with the lip of the sleeve at the front. Make sure the camera body is clean and the set screws tightened only until they touch the camera body.

Do not over tighten as you may damage the camera housing.

Gen-Eye Spectra™ Video Pipe Inspection/Location System

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1. Slowly push the camera into the pipe. Make sure the spring does not kink or double back on itself.

2. Once the camera is in the pipe, adjust the lights to a level which produces the best picture with the least amount of light. This will vary depending on pipe conditions. You may also adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor.

3. Lighting may be adjusted to highlight various pipe conditions and objects as desired. In some cases white or lighter colored objects may cause the picture to “flare” or “wash out”.

If this happens, simply turn the light control down until a good picture is achieved.

4. Push the camera slowly and carefully during the inspection - taking note of the pipe condition for possible hazards that may entangle or damage the camera on entry or retrieval.

5. 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 is no visible signs of blockage, turning the push rod or pulling the camera back and forth slowly sometimes helps.

6. Should resistance become extreme, or the camera gets entangled or stuck, slowly push 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 some other means.

RECORDING THE INSPECTION

For operation of DVD recorder or optional HDD hard drive, see the manufacturer’s operating instructions.

CAMERA LOCATION

1. The transmitter (located near the camera) is already activated.

2. Switch the Locator ON and check that the battery indicator shows at least one bar.

Replace batteries as needed.

3. Make sure the Locator is set for the same frequency as the transmitter by pressing the

Frequency button (FREQ) until the desired frequency appears on the display.

4. Press Antenna Select (ANT SEL) so that the indicator arrow points to TWIN PEAK.

5. Press the UP arrow so that the gain bar is at the maximum setting.

6. Hold the Locator blade vertical and in line with the camera head (handle of the

Locator at 90 degrees to the camera head). If you are not sure of the direction of the pipe, hold the locator above the drain opening and rotate it until you obtain the maximum signal. Note:

The camera must be stationary to be precisely pinpointed.

7. Move the Locator forward and backward, and side to side along the camera path until you obtain a peak response on the display.

8. If the display indicates a maximum signal of

100, reduce the gain by pressing the DOWN arrow to keep the display at approximately 50%

– 70%.

9. Repeat step 7 and 8 as you narrow your search area.

10. A small ghost signal may appear in front and behind the peak reading. Lower the gain button until you receive only one signal.

11. When you can only receive the signal in a small, one-foot square area, you’ve located the camera. Mark the spot.

Tip: It’s much easier to locate the camera when it’s closer to the drain opening than when it’s 100 feet away. Push the camera five or ten feet into the line, then do your first location. Mark the spot and push the camera ahead another five or ten feet, then repeat. When you’re done, you’ll have the whole line traced and marked.

DEPTH MEASUREMENT

1. Recheck the camera location using the steps outlined above.

2. Rest the tip of Locator on the ground, holding it vertically above the pinpointed position of the camera head.

3. Press the DEPTH button. The LCD screen will indicate the depth of the camera.

4. You can select the unit of measurement (feet, inches, meters, centimeters) by pressing the

DEPTH button and the DOWN arrow at the same time.

7

Gen-Eye Spectra™ Video Pipe Inspection/Location System

Note: An indication of four dashes on the display can be caused by too much or too little signal strength. Adjust the gain and recheck the depth measurement.

See complete Locator instruction manual for more information.

MAINTENANCE

CAMERA CLEANING

After every use, the camera should be cleaned and checked for possible damage that may have occurred during the inspection. External scuffing of the camera housing is normal and should be of no concern; however, use the trap skid to protect the camera and help it slide around elbows more easily.

The camera lens is made of sapphire and should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Grease, dirt, or scratches will affect the quality of the video picture.

LIGHT HEAD REPLACEMENT

The light heads for the Gen-Eye Spectra cameras use LED lighting and cannot be replaced by the operator. These lights use very little power.

Unless physically damaged or extreme voltage is applied to them, they should last indefinitely. If replacement is necessary, the camera should be returned to the factory.

The camera lights are wired in a series/parallel configuration. This means that there are 4 sets of 4

(color camera) each wired together. Each set is wired in series and then the 4 sets are wired in parallel. Therefore, should one lamp burn out in one set, the other sets will still remain lit.

The cable and reel assembly should be kept clean from dirt. When rewinding the cable back onto the reel after an inspection, it is good practice to use a clean rag to wipe off any debris the cable may have.

CAMERA REMOVAL FROM THE CABLE

AND REEL ASSEMBLY

!

CAUTION

TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE CAMERA

AND/OR SYSTEM, DISCONNECT POWER

FROM THE CONTROL UNIT BEFORE

REMOVING OR RECONNECTING THE CAMERA

TO THE CABLE REEL.

The camera and associated electronics are not user serviceable. Servicing should be left to qualified personnel (your dealer can advise you with regards to service, etc.). In the event the camera needs to be returned to the factory, the following instructions should be used with extreme care; to remove the camera head and spring from the end of the cable:

1. Disconnect the complete camera and spring assembly by removing the 3 screws (4-40 x ½

SSTL) that are countersunk into the coneshaped aluminum coupler at the end of the push cable. The screws can be removed using the Xcelite allen wrench provided with the unit.

Screws should be removed very carefully and simultaneously. Each screw should be turned approximately one (1) full turn alternatively, so as not to damage the connector. While backing out each screw, hold the connector and camera assembly together until all the screws are out and then unplug the camera from the cable reel taking care not to lose the O-ring or screws.

2. After unplugging the camera, inspect the O-ring for any damage, and if worn, replace it with a new one. Also, when replacing any O-rings, make sure there is no dirt or grit on it, as it may not seal properly, and apply silicon grease or petroleum jelly to the O-ring for proper sealing.

3. To reconnect, carefully align the rear connector on the camera assembly, and the cable reel connector. When aligned, push the connectors together and replace the screws. (If the connectors do not align properly, turn the camera body slowly while slightly pushing the two connectors together until you feel them align properly together.)

!

CAUTION

DO NOT FORCE THE CONNECTORS

TOGETHER. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE

CONNECTORS.

Gen-Eye Spectra™ Video Pipe Inspection/Location System

CAMERA FOCUS

All Gen-Eye Spectra cameras are pre-focused at the factory from approximately 3” to infinity and should not require any focus adjustments. Should focus adjustments be required, please call the factory.

CAMERA CONTROL UNIT FUNCTIONS AND

CONTROLS

The Command Module is designed to supply all operating voltages and functions to your camera system and should be treated with care. Protecting the unit from excessive shock and jarring will prolong its life.

Separate AC and DC Power Cords are supplied: the 3-prong AC plug on the AC cord and a cigarette lighter type plug on the 12 VDC cord.

Microphone ON/OFF Switch

Turn this switch to the ON position to record your voice. Be sure you do not accidentally have the switch ON as it will record any audio in the vicinity of the control unit.

Condenser Microphone

This is the actual microphone that receives the audio for recording purposes. If you hear audio feedback (a screeching sound) when trying to use the microphone, it is because the volume control on the monitor is up too high.

Light Power Switch

Flip this switch to turn on the LED lights on the camera head. This switch must be in the “ON” position to use the light intensity control and adjust the brightness of the lights.

AC Power Input Socket

The supplied AC power cord is plugged into this socket for main power to the unit.

!

CAUTION

DO NOT PLUG IN BOTH AC AND DC CORDS AT

THE SAME TIME.

DC Power Input Socket

The supplied DC power cord is plugged into this socket for main power to the unit.

Cable Reel Input Socket, 10 Pin

This is used to connect the interface cord from the cable reel to the Command Module.

Main Power Select Switch

After selecting either the 120 volt AC power cord or the 12 volt DC power cord. Plug it in and turn this switch to the appropriate setting to power up the

Command Module.

Camera Lights (Variable Intensity Control)

Controls light output and intensity on camera light head.

Camera Test Terminal

Use this connector to troubleshoot video or light problems. Remove the camera from the cable reel and plug the camera directly into the top panel

(which bypasses the cable reel). This will help isolate where camera video or light problems may be originating. Example: If the lights were not working when the camera was connected through the cable reel, but they do work when you plug directly to the front panel, this indicates a problem with the light wire somewhere in the cable reel.

(Always check fuses first.)

Fuses

The Command Module contains three easily replaceable fuses located on the front panel; one each for the camera power (0.5 amp), AC line (3 amp), and Camera Lights (0.25 amp). These are rated at 250 volts and are approximately ¼” diameter x 1-¼” long.

If the fuses continue to “trip”, do not use the system. Try to determine the cause or have a qualified person check out the problem.

Keyboard Input Socket

Plug in the keyboard (located in the lid of the case) to this connector. Always plug the keyboard in before turning on the main power switch.
