Spring Assembly – Flexible stainless steel spring and as-
sociated components that hold the camera to the push
cable. It provides a flexible transition from camera to push
cable, and protects the terminations within the spring.
In Line Transmitter – Is contained within the spring as-
sembly and transmits at 512Hz.
Safety Cable – Stainless steel cable within the spring
assembly that keep the spring from over-extending.
This ensures the camera's internal connectors are not
stressed when pulling the camera out of a pipe.
2) Reel/Frame
Push Cable – (Figure 3) Terminates right behind the
spring. It has a high-strength fiberglass core stiff enough
to allow long distance pushing while flexible enough to
negotiate tight turns.
Drum – The push cable is stored in the molded gray
drum mounted underneath the frame. Mercury-free slip
rings inside the drum's hub provide a rotating electrical
connection between the drum and frame.
Frame – The sturdy, powder coated metal structure that
holds the reel and Monitor Pack. The guide hoops on the
frame guide the push cable in and out of the drum.
Interconnect Cord – Stores on the frame and provides
the connection between the camera reel and the Monitor
Pack (CCU). (Figure 3)

frame for positioning the system at different viewing
angles.
Locking Sleeve – Found at the end of the Interconnect

Cord, it provides a solid connection between the CCU
and the reel.
NOTE! When attaching or removing the Interconnect Cord
3) Monitor Pack Camera Control Unit
The Monitor Pack is a camera control unit (CCU) that pro-
vides power to the camera reel, control of the camera's light
intensity and a built-in monitor for viewing the image. The
Monitor Pack (Figure 4) may be powered by either a 120
volt or 230 volt AC source. A 14.4V Makita
battery can also power the system. (See Table below.)
