Operating Instructions - RIDGID CA-350 Mode D'emploi

1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that
may ignite. If present, do not work in
area until sources have been identified
and corrected. The micro CA-350 In -
spection Camera is not explosion proof
and can cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable, dry place for opera-
tor. Do not use the inspection camera
while standing in water.
2. Examine the area or space that you will
be inspecting and determine if the micro
CA-350 Inspection Camera is the correct
piece of equipment for the job.
• Determine the access points to the
space. The minimum opening the cam -
era head can fit through is approxi -
mate ly 3 / " (19 mm) in diameter for the
4
17 mm camera head.
• Determine the distance to the area to
be inspected. Extensions can be add ed
to the camera to reach up to 30' (9 m).
• Determine if there are any obstacles
that would require very tight turns in
the cable. The inspection camera ca -
ble can go down to a 5" (127 mm) ra-
dius without damage.
• Determine if there is any electrical pow -
er supplied to the area to be inspected.
If so, the power to the area must be
turned OFF to reduce the risk of electric
shock. Use appropriate lock out pro-
cedures to prevent the power from
being turned back on during the in-
spection.
• Determine if any liquids will be encoun-
tered during the inspection. The cable
and imager head are waterproof to a
depth of 10' (3 m). Greater depths may
cause leakage into the cable and im-
ager and cause electric shock or dam-
age the equipment. The handheld dis-
play unit is water resistant (IP54) but
should not be submerged in water.
• Determine if any chemicals are pres-
ent, especially in the case of drains. It is
important to understand the specific
safety measures required to work a -
round any chemicals present. Contact
the chemical manufacturer for required
information. Chemicals may damage or
degrade the inspection camera.
• Determine the temperature of the area
and items in the area. See Specifica-
micro CA-350 Inspection Camera
tions. Use in areas outside of specifica-
tion temperatures or contact with hotter
or colder items could cause camera
damage.
• Determine if any moving parts are pres-
ent in the area to be inspected. If so,
these parts must be deactivated to pre-
vent movement during inspection to
reduce the risk of entanglement. Use
appropriate lock out procedures to pre-
vent the parts from moving during the
inspection.
If the micro CA-350 Inspection Camera is not
the correct piece of equipment for the job,
other inspection equipment is available from
RIDGID. For a complete listing of RIDGID
products, see the RIDGID catalog, online at
RIDGID.com.
3. Make sure the micro CA-350 Inspec tion
Camera has been properly inspect ed be-
fore each use.
4. Install the correct accessories for the ap-
plication.
