2. Be sure that the unit is plugged into a properly grounded
receptacle. If in doubt, check receptacle before plugging in
machine. Check the power cord to see that there are no cuts or
frays, and that the grounding prong on the plug is still in place.
3. If the power cord supplied with the machine is not long
enough, be sure to use a 16 gauge heavy duty extension
cord no more than 50 feet long and in good condition. Using
lighter cords can result in severe power loss and motor overheat-
ing.
4. Be careful when cleaning drains where cleaning chemicals
have been used. Avoid direct contact with corrosive drain clean-
ers. Drain cleaning chemicals can cause serious burns, as well
as damage the cable. Neutralize or remove corrosive drain
cleaners in the drain before starting the job.
5. Do not operate machine if operator or machine is standing
in water. Will increase risk of electrical shock.
6. Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip shoes. Use
of this safety equipment may prevent serious injury.
7. Protect against lightening. For added protection for this prod-
uct during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet.
This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and
power surges.
8. Protect against excessive heat. The product should be situated
away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
ABOUT THE INSPECTION CAMERA
The Gen-Eye video pipe inspection and location system is manufac-
tured for harsh environments, however, it should handled with care.
Use the Gen-Eye as an inspection tool only, never as a drain cleaning
tool. Damage may occur if the camera head is dropped or “butted”
severely against the pipe or any other hard surface. Once you see the
obstruction, remove the camera head from the line and use the proper
tool to clear the stoppage.
The stainless steel camera housing is made to protect the camera
and internal electronics. However, it can be damaged by severe im-
pacts which could cause failure of the O-ring seals or the electronics
within. The camera, housing, and lens should be checked thoroughly
after each use for signs of damage and, if required, should be cor-
rected prior to further use.
FEATURES
GEN-EYE USB, USBW, & USBP
COMMAND MODULE
The Command Module should not be used in
wet locations or in the rain, as moisture may
cause damage to the unit.
LCD COLOR MONITOR (10.4”)
(Sun-Readable on USBP systems)
Be sure that “Video 1” is selected. Press the PC/AV button on monitor
to change input selection.
AC POWER INPUT
Plug the socket end of the AC cord into the AC socket on the panel of
the Command Module. 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.
DC POWER INPUT
Plug the socket end of the DC cord into the DC socket on the panel of
the Command Module. 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 camera system. While the DC power cord will
provide power for operation, it is not used to recharge the internal
battery on USBP units. (See Battery Charger section for charging
instructions—USBP units only.)
THE AC OR DC CORD SHOULD ALWAYS BE
PLUGGED INTO THE COMMAND MODULE FIRST,
THEN INTO THE WALL OR 12VDC SOCKET.
DO NOT PLUG IN BOTH AC AND DC CORDS AT
THE SAME TIME!

The 3 amp line fuse is located on the panel. Should replacement be-
come necessary, replace only with the same value and type as the
original. Never substitute fuses as damage may occur and will void
your warranty. If the fuses continue to trip for no apparent reason,
please consult the factory. Do not use the system until the problem
has been corrected.
