Locating The Sonde - RIDGID SeeSnake nanoReel Guide De Démarrage Rapide

Setting Up the nanoReel
Unwrap the SeeSnake System Cable from its holder, pull back the locking sleeve, and
match the System Cable plug to the matching SeeSnake System Connector on the
CCU. To join the connectors, align the guide pin to the guide socket, push the connector
straight in. Tighten the outer locking sleeve.
Operating Instructions
1. Pull several feet of push cable from the nanoReel. Place the camera unit into the
line to be inspected.
2. Turn the SeeSnake CCU ON. Adjust the camera head LED lighting brightness and
the display image as specified by the SeeSnake CCU operator's manual. Use the
least amount of lighting to maximize picture quality and reduce heat buildup.
3. Record the inspection as specified by the SeeSnake CCU operator's manual.
4. If possible, run water through the system during the inspection to help keep the
system clean, to make pushing the push cable easier, and to help orient the image
at the bottom of the pipe. Shut off water flow as needed for viewing.
5. Grip the push cable and carefully feed it into the drain to be inspected.
6. To avoid damage, pay attention to the force required to feed in and withdraw the
push cable. Keep clear of sharp edges, and do not pull at sharp angles to the inlet.

Locating the Sonde

The nanoReel is equipped with a Sonde built into the camera head which transmits a
locatable 512 Hz signal and allows the detection of the camera's location underground.
Control the Sonde from a SeeSnake CCU as described in the operator's manual for the
SeeSnake CCU. If using the nanoReel with the micro CA-300, activate the Sonde by
turning the LED brightness control down to zero. Once the Sonde has been located, the
LEDs can be returned to normal brightness to continue the inspection.
For detailed instructions on Sonde locating, consult the operator's manual for the loca-
tor model in use.
Retrieving the Camera
1. After completing the inspection, pull the push cable back with slow, steady force.
2. If possible, continue running water down the line to help clean the push cable.
3. Use a towel to wipe off the push cable as it is withdrawn.
4. To avoid damage, pay attention to the force required to withdraw the push cable,
keep clear of any sharp edges, and do not pull at sharp angles to the inlet.
