Should you have any further questions regarding service or sales, please contact Hathorn at: 1-905-604-7040 PRODUCT FEATURES With the M7 reel you can complete pipe inspections without the use of a traditional monitor and with the ease of a system that runs on external 18V Milwaukee compatible batteries (not included) or the 12V AC/DC adapter.
USER INSTRUCTIONS Setting Up the System for Use Connect DC power plug to the jack on the back of the control box, then plug the AC power plug into the outlet. Press the power button on the monitor. At this point you should have lights on the camera and a picture on the monitor. You are now ready to perform the inspection procedure. Alternatively, you may wish to use 18V Milwaukee compatible batteries for ultimate portability. Standard 3.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE Skids or sleeves should ALWAYS be used to protect the camera head. Depending on the size of the pipe you are inspecting, you may need to use a skid, so the camera is centered or off the floor of the line. Care should be taken so the skids do not snag in the line. Under normal operating situations, the camera is used with a smaller protective sleeve in lines under 4” in diameter or a larger grooved skid in 4” lines and larger. 1.
6. NEVER use the camera to unclog a drain or clear debris in the pipe. Doing so can cause damage to the camera head or lens. 7. NEVER force the camera down a pipe as this may cause a kinked cable which will require expensive repairs. 8. NEVER use a pressure washer to clean any part of the system. High pressure water can cause degradation of the electronic parts causing damage. 9. NEVER unspool all of the rod from a reel. Always leave a few turns of rod on the reel to aid with respooling.
LOCATING THE 512 Hz SONDE Insert the sonde in the drain and locate it while it is still just in view at the drain or duct entrance. Hold the locator vertical directly over the sonde with the antenna in line with the sonde. Adjust the locator sensitivity so the bar graph reads between 60% and 80%. Push the sonde along the pipe to the desired area. 1. 2. 3. Approach the peak of the signal working perpendicular to the pipe. Move the locator backwards and forwards and stop when the bar graph indicates a Peak.

MAINTENANCE Inspection Camera - After every use, the camera should be cleaned and checked for possible damage. External scuffing of the camera case is normal and should be of no concern. The camera view port is made of sapphire and should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Grease, dirt or scratches will affect the quality of the video and if the lens is badly scratched it should be replaced. LED Light Replacement - The camera heads use LED lighting and cannot be replaced by the operator.
