Powering the CS6

WARNING
The AC adapter is not waterproof� To prevent electrical
shock do not use outdoors�
The CS6 can either be powered with a compatible 18 V Li-
ion rechargeable battery or an optional AC adapter. The AC
adapter slides into the battery connector. Ensure the battery
or AC adapter is locked into the battery connection.
The CS6 has low and critical battery indicators. Replace bat-
tery or connect AC adapter when the low battery indicator
appears. When the battery reaches critical level, the CS6
stops in-progress video recording, saves the job onto the
USB drive, and initiates shut down.

Operating Instructions

Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes against
dirt and other foreign objects�
When inspecting drains that might contain hazard-
ous chemicals or bacteria, wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as latex gloves, goggles, face shields,
1
and respirators to prevent burns and infection�
Do not operate equipment if operator or equipment is
standing in water� Operating the CS6 in water increas-
es the risk of electrical shock� Rubber soled, non-slip
shoes can help prevent slipping and electric shock, es-
pecially on wet surfaces�

Performing an Inspection

1. Set up all equipment and connect the CS6 to the
SeeSnake reel. Press the Power Key
the CS6 and camera. The CS6 can be powered on and
automatically start Autolog recording by pressing the
Autolog Key
2. Place the camera head at the inspection start point and
zero the counter by pressing and holding the Zero Key
for 3 seconds.

storage so a USB drive must be inserted to save re-
cordings and create reports. Without a USB drive, the
CS6 can display live camera feed, as well as control
the sonde and integrated counter, but it cannot record.
4. Close the USB port cover over the USB drive during
use or when operating outdoors. Maximum USB length
is 50 mm [2 in].
5. Push the camera head through the line and watch the
screen. Proceed with the pipe inspection as detailed in
the SeeSnake reel operator's manual.
