5. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barriers
are needed to keep bystanders away. Bystanders can
distract the operator during use. If working near traffic,
erect cones or other barriers to alert drivers.
6. If needed, remove fixture (water closet, sink, etc.) to
allow access.

Placement

Place the CS1000 to allow easy access and viewing while
manipulating the camera and push cable for inspection.
Setup the CS1000 so its screen is easy to see. Adjust the
controls so they are easy to reach during use. In brightly lit
areas, point the screen away from bright light sources and/
or use the monitor's front cover as a sun shade to reduce
glare. Make sure that the location is not wet and will not let
the CS1000 and other equipment get wet during use. The
CS1000 is not waterproof and exposure to wet conditions
can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
Place camera and reel as instructed in their operator's
manual. Ensure the CS1000 and cable reel are stable.

Tilt Stand

You can use the tilt stand to customize the viewing angle of
the screen and the positioning of keyboard depending on
the inspection environment and personal preference.
