Locating the Camera Using the Sonde
If using a SeeSnake pipe inspection system with a built-in Sonde, detect the camera’s location
underground by using a locator such as the RIDGID SR-20, SR-60, Scout™ or NaviTrack® II.
1. Press the Sonde Key on the CS10 to turn the Sonde ON and OFF.
2. Run the SeeSnake push cable from 5ftto10ft [1.5m to 3m] into the pipe.
3. Use the locator to find the Sonde’s position by setting it to Sonde mode and by scanning
in the direction of the Sonde’s probable location until the locator detects the Sonde.
4. If desired, extend the SeeSnake push cable further down-pipe and locate the Sonde
again starting from the previous located position.
5. Once you have detected the Sonde, use the locator indications to zero in on its location
precisely. For detailed instructions on Sonde locating, consult the operator’s manual for
the locator model you are using.

the unit and lift up on the cover until it locks securely into place.

CS10 cannot capture video, Autolog video, or photos until a thumb drive is inserted into the
USB port. The USB LED will be ON steadily when ready for use.
Step 2
Jobs
The CS10 automatically saves photos, videos, and Autolog videos to the latest Job on the
thumb drive. The CS10 will open a new Job if there is not already one on the thumb drive.
The CS10 will save media files to a new session on the thumb drive when the thumb drive is
ejected and when the CS10 shuts down.

video. The Autolog LED will be lit during Autolog recording.

without audio.
Press the Photo Key or the Video Key to capture additional photos or higher frame rate
video clips while recording an Autolog video.
