Perform a risk assessment
Warning: Always carry out a risk assessment of the site to be inspected. This equipment is NOT
approved for use in areas where potentially explosive (or otherwise hazardous) gases, vapors, liquids
or solids may be present.
Pearpoint has taken care to provide the necessary information in this manual for the safe installation,
operation, maintenance and disposal of this equipment. However, you must carry out a risk
assessment before starting work as it may identify other safety issues.
Always follow standard safety precautions for working in hostile environments, including precautions
for manual handling, biological hazards and personal injury.
The P550c PSU has a number of ventilation slots around the casing that are designed to maximize air
circulation and reduce heat. There is a potential fire risk if the build-up of heat is prevented from
escaping. Under no circumstances are these ventilation slots to be covered or blocked.
Warning: Use the camera distance counter as an estimation only. Pearpoint recommends that you
use a sonde and Radiodetection cable locator to accurately locate positions of interest, especially
before starting construction works.
