Set Up and Operation
Equipment Setup
1. For Standard SeeSnake reels, install the wheels as
described in appendix A.
2. Place the reel so the push cable is easy to manage
as you push the camera through the line. Three to
five feet from the access point seems to work best.
3. Set up the Camera Control Unit (CCU) so its moni-
tor screen is easy to see and it's controls are easy to
reach during use. In brightly lit areas, point the mon-
itor screen away from bright light sources and/or
use the monitor's sun shade to reduce glare.
4. Adjust the reel's brake so the drum turns easily
when you pull cable from the reel, but stops turning
when you stop pulling the cable; if the drum turns too
easily, excess cable could wind out of the reel.
Connections
1. Plug the Camera Control Unit into an AC outlet and
reset the GFCI if necessary.
2. Unwrap the SeeSnake System Cable from its holder
on the reel frame and plug its connector into the
matching connector on the CCU. To join the con-
nectors, align the guide pin to the guide socket,
push the connector straight in and tighten the outer
locking sleeve. (Figure 6)
NOTE! Twist only the locking sleeve! Never bend or
twist the connector! Bending or twisting the con-
nector will lead to premature failure. When
unplugging you may wiggle a little, if neces-
sary, but do not bend or twist.
Operation
1. Place the camera head into the reel's guide hoop as
shown in Figure 4, and turn the CCU's power ON.
You should see the words "SeeSnake CountIR" and
a version number on the monitor screen. Leave the
camera head in the guide hoop until this start-up
screen disappears (approx. 15 sec.). If you do not
see an image on the monitor, check to make sure its
power is turned on.
2. Put the camera head into the access point and adjust
the camera's lighting with the Dimmer/Transmitter
control.
3. Turn the CountIR's display modes ON or OFF as de-
sired. If you want to measure distance, reset its
