ii P350 exitrax Operation Manual
Operation guidelines
Please observe your company, region or country’s
Standard Code of Practice for surveying underground
utilities with CCTV equipment, if applicable, when using
this equipment.
Always carry out a risk assessment of the site to be
inspected. This equipment is NOT approved for use in
areas where hazardous gasses may be present.
Foul water systems can be a source of serious
biological hazards. Wear appropriate protection when
handling the P350 exitrax.
The camera will get hot during use. This is normal.
Exercise care when handling the camera at all times.
System components must NOT be connected/
disconnected when the power is on.
Take care to ensure that video and power cables do not
get entangled in the drum. Cables ties are recommended
and will not impede system performance.
Always store the P350 exitrax system in a clean and dry
environment.
Safety precautions
Ensure that standard safety precautions for working in
hostile environments are followed.
The exitrax Power Supply Unit (PSU) is designed to
reduce hazards from electric shock provided that proper
operating procedures are followed. The P350 exitrax
system requires connection to a protective earth; if in
doubt, consult a qualied electrician.
Electrical equipment is factory tested for electrical safety.
Routine inspection is recommended (and may be required
by law) to maintain this level of protection. If you are
unsure, contact your local safety authority for advice.
The exitrax Power Supply Unit has a number of
ventilation slots around the casing that are designed
to maximize air circulation and reduce heat. There is a
potential re risk if the build-up of heat is prevented from
escaping. Under no circumstances are these ventilation
slots to be covered or blocked.
If using a generator follow the manufacturer’s instructions
on load connection and sequencing. In the absence of
these instructions the following guidelines should be used:
When starting the generator; ensure that all electrical
loads, including the P350 are switched off before
starting the generator. Allow the generator to
stabilise before connecting any electrical loads or
switching on the P350.
•
When stopping the generator; ensure all electrical
loads, including the P350 are switched off before
stopping the generator.
Starting or stopping a generator whilst the P350
system is connected and the main switch is in the
On position could lead to damage to the P350
system or the generator.
Always use heavy duty industrial gloves when handling
cable which is being withdrawn from a sewer.
Always ensure that cabling is properly connected.
A portable generator can be a hazard if not properly
operated. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Always transport a generator with the minimum amount of
fuel in the tank.
Always switch the system on and off using the main
system switch.
Never lower crawlers or other heavy equipment into
manholes while personnel are working in the manhole.
To avoid risk of burns do not touch cameras/
lightheads when they are switched on or immediately
after switch off. Leave ample time for them to cool before
handling.
The camera’s LEDs are very powerful. Do not look
directly at the LEDs or point them at other people.
