10
Camera is not explosion proof and can
cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable, dry place for operator.
Do not use the inspection camera while
standing in water.
2. Examine the area or space that you will
be inspecting and determine if the micro
CA‑300 Inspection Camera is the correct
piece of equipment for the job.
• Determine the access points to the space.
The minimum opening the cam era head
can fit through is approximate ly 3 /
4
”
(19 mm) in diameter for the 17 mm cam‑
era head.
• Determine the distance to the area to be
inspected. Extensions can be add ed to
the camera to reach up to 30’ (9 m).
• Determine if there are any obstacles that
would require very tight turns in the
cable. The inspection camera ca ble can
go down to a 5” (13 cm) radius without
damage.
• Determine if there is any electrical pow er
supplied to the area to be inspected. If
so, the power to the area must be turned
OFF to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Use appropriate lock out procedures to
prevent the power from being turned
back on during the inspection.
• Determine if any liquids will be encoun‑
tered during the inspection. The cable
and imager head are waterproof to a
depth of 10’ (3 m). Greater depths may
cause leakage into the cable and imager
and cause electric shock or damage the
equipment. The handheld display unit is
water resistant (IP65) but should not be
submerged in water.
• Determine if any chemicals are present,
especially in the case of drains. It is im‑
portant to understand the specific safety
measures required to work a round any
chemicals present. Contact the chemical
manufacturer for required information.
Chemicals may damage or degrade the
inspection camera.
• Determine the temperature of the area
and items in the area. The working tem‑
perature of the inspection camera is be‑
tween 32°F to 130°F (0°C to 55°C). Use
in areas outside of this range or contact
with hotter or colder items could cause
camera damage.
• Determine if any moving parts are pres‑
ent in the area to be inspected. If so,
these parts must be deactivated to pre‑
vent movement during inspection to
reduce the risk of entanglement. Use
appropriate lock out procedures to pre‑
vent the parts from moving during the
inspection.

not the correct piece of equipment for the
job, other inspection equipment is available

plication.
