PRODUCT FEATURES
With the M7 reel you can complete pipe inspections with-
out the use of a traditional monitor and with the ease of a
system that runs on external 18V Milwaukee compatible
batteries (not included) or the 12V AC/DC adapter.
Features include:
• NO cords and NO heavy monitor cases
• Powerful SONDE transmitter that works with any
512Hz locator
• Auto-iris camera element that automatically adjusts pic-
ture lighting, no LED light dimming required
• Recording of video files to USB stick
• If you opted for the Wi-Fi option, then you can easily
transfer wireless video from reel to any mobile device
or tablet. The system connects up to four Wi-Fi ena-
bled devices at once.
• 6” wheels for easy transport of system

USER INSTRUCTIONS
Setting Up the System for Use
Connect DC power plug to the jack on the back of the con-
trol box, then plug the AC power plug into the outlet. Press
the power button on the monitor. At this point you should
have lights on the camera and a picture on the monitor. You
are now ready to perform the inspection procedure.
Alternatively, you may wish to use 18V Milwaukee com-
patible batteries for ultimate portability. Standard 3.0Ah
batteries should allow the user to run for 4-6 hours in a sin-
gle charge. Batteries are sold separately.
Locating Sonde
Push the “Counter/Sonde” button to turn the sonde on or
off. A symbol will appear next to the footage counter on
screen when the sonde is on. Use any brand of 512hz loca-
tor to find the sonde when underground. Sondes are locata-
ble up to 15ft. dependent upon thickness of concrete and
presence of steel/cast iron pipe.
Footage Counter
Push the “Counter/Sonde” button to move the counter
around the screen or hold it for 3 seconds and the counter
will flash, let it go and the count will reset.
Camera Lights
Camera lights can be controlled using the light up/down
buttons on the front of the monitor.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Skids or sleeves should ALWAYS be used to protect the
camera head. Depending on the size of the pipe you are
inspecting, you may need to use a skid, so the camera is
centered or off the floor of the line. Care should be taken so
the skids do not snag in the line.
Under normal operating situations, the camera is used with
a smaller protective sleeve in lines under 4” in diameter or
a larger grooved skid in 4” lines and larger.
1. Slowly push the camera into the pipe and negotiate the
camera into position to feed down the pipe making
sure the flex neck does not kink or double back on it-
self.
2. Push the camera slowly and carefully during the in-
spection taking note of the pipe condition for possible
hazards that may entangle or damage the camera on
entry or retrieval.
3. When negotiating a corner, care should be taken not to
butt the nose of the camera against the sidewall with
any force. It would be better to let the camera “work”
its way around the corner. If resistance is encountered
when turning the corner and there are no visible signs
of blockage, turning the push rod or pulling the cam-
era back and forth sometimes helps
4. Should resistance become extreme, or the camera get
entangled or stuck, slowly push it back and forth to
free it. Sometimes turning the push rod may also help.
If the camera is visible, you may be able to free it with
your hand or some other means.
5. Upon completion of the inspection and retrieval of the
camera, it may be necessary to ‘manipulate’ the cam-
era around the initial bend (clean out) in the pipe with
a pole or other device if required.

6. NEVER use the camera to unclog a drain or clear de-
bris in the pipe. Doing so can cause damage to the
camera head or lens.
7. NEVER force the camera down a pipe as this may
cause a kinked cable which will require expensive re-
pairs.
8. NEVER use a pressure washer to clean any part of the
system. High pressure water can cause degradation of
the electronic parts causing damage.
9. NEVER unspool all of the rod from a reel. Always
leave a few turns of rod on the reel to aid with re-
spooling.

LOCATING THE 512 Hz SONDE
Insert the sonde in the drain and locate it while it is still just
in view at the drain or duct entrance. Hold the locator verti-
cal directly over the sonde with the antenna in line with the
sonde. Adjust the locator sensitivity so the bar graph reads
between 60% and 80%. Push the sonde along the pipe to
the desired area.
1. Approach the peak of the signal working perpendicular
to the pipe. Move the locator backwards and forwards
and stop when the bar graph indicates a Peak.
2. Push the camera 4-6 ft. further, pinpoint, and mark the
position. Repeat this pinpoint procedure at similar in-
tervals along the line of the drain or duct until the sur-
vey is completed.
3. Most locators will automatically display the depth of a
located sonde providing the locator is correctly orient-
