Figure 13 – Connecting to a SeeSnake CCU
To use the nanoReel with a SeeSnake CCU perform the
following:
1� 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 (See Item 1, Figure 13)�
2� To join the connectors, align the guide pin to the
guide socket, push the connector straight in� A
guide ridge molded into the top of the cable
connector will point up when the plug is correctly
aligned (See Item 2, Figure 14)�
3� Tighten the outer locking sleeve�
NOTICE
When connecting or disconnecting the
System Cable, twist only the locking sleeve! To prevent
damage to pins, never bend or twist the connector or cable!
The nanoReel can be used with any SeeSnake CCUs by
changing the system cable as specified in the assembly
section�
Set up the micro CA‑300 or CCU in accordance with
its instructions� If using the micro CA‑300 or a battery
powered CCU, make sure that the required batteries are
fully charged and installed�
Placement
1� Place the micro CA‑300 or CCU monitor next to the
push cable entry point or other area to allow easy
viewing while manipulating the push cable and
camera� The location should not be wet or allow
the monitor unit to get wet during use�
2� Set the nanoReel approximately 6 ft [2 m] from the
entry point to provide ample room to grasp and
manipulate the push cable without allowing excess
cable to drag on the ground� When properly located,
the push cable will only come off the nanoReel
when pulled�
3� Preferably, lay the nanoReel on its back with the
camera unit and push cable on top� The foot pads
on the cord wrap will cushion the nanoReel when
placed on its back� This position provides the
greatest stability and prevents the nanoReel from
tipping during use�

Operating Instructions

WARNING
Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes against
dirt and other foreign objects�
When inspecting drains that might contain hazardous
chemicals or bacteria, wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as latex gloves, goggles, face shields, and
respirators to prevent burns and infections�
Do not operate this equipment if operator or machine is
standing in water� Operating the machine while in water
increases the risk of electrical shock� Rubber soled,
non-slip shoes can help prevent slipping and electric
shock, especially on wet surfaces�
Perform the following to reduce the risk of injury from
electrical shock and other causes:
1� Make sure all equipment is properly set up�
2� Pull several feet of push cable from the nanoReel�
Make sure the camera window is clean� In some
cases, placing a slight film of detergent on the
window can minimize debris sticking to the window�
Place the camera unit into the line to be inspected�
