Gen-Eye POD™ & Gen-Eye MINI-POD™
SET UP
5
SKID
Depending on the size of pipe you
are inspecting, you may need to use
the supplied skid so the camera is
centered of off the bottom of the
pipe. Care should be taken so the
skids do not snag in the pipe.
Under normal operating situations,
the camera is used with the smaller protective sleeve in 4” lines. The
full size POD includes a 6” skid for use in larger lines.
The skid supplied should be slipped onto the camera with the lip of
the sleeve at the front. Make sure the camera body is clean and the
set screws tightened only until they touch the camera body. Do not
over tighten as you may damage the camera housing.

1. On arrival to the job site and after checking for a properly
grounded receptacle, set the POD in an easily viewable position
where it will not interfere with the inspection.
The POD can be used in both the vertical and the horizontal
positions.
2. Check and make sure the Light Head Intensity Control is set at
the “low” position.
3. FOR AC VOLTAGE OPERATION: Plug the socket end of the
AC cord into the AC socket on the side of the POD. When using
120 volts AC, care should be taken to ensure that it is plugged
into a properly grounded receptacle to prevent damage to the
unit.
FOR DC VOLTAGE OPERATION: Plug the socket end of the
DC cord into the DC socket on the side of the POD. When using
12 volts DC, the unit plugs into a vehicle’s cigarette lighter. For
12VDC, the vehicle engine must be running to operate the cam-
era system.
4. Ensure the power switch on the LCD monitor is on.
The AC or DC cord should always be plugged into the POD
first, then into the wall or 12VDC socket. NEVER plug into the
AC socket or DC source first.
CAMERA TRANSMITTER (512 HZ)
Your system includes a 512Hz transmitter, which is located safely in
the spring behind the camera. When the POD is turned on, the trans-
mitter will be automatically activated.
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN USING THE TRANSMITTER
IN THE SPRING AS EXCESSIVE BENDING AND TWISTING
MORE THAN 180 DEGREES MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT.
