Product Overview The R.S.T. OMNI II Camera is a pan and tilt color camera designed to be transported by the mainline tractor (or skidded) and powered by R.S. Technical Services single(sincon) and multi conductor cable. The compact camera is adaptable for use in sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and fresh water main pipelines with diameters of 6” to 24”. The camera transmits video and other transducer signals through the sincon cable to the Controller Power Supply.
Operator and Equipment Safety It is important to be familiar with operations, maintenance, and safety issues when working with RST equipment. Read the entire manual before operating the equipment. To prevent personal injury or damage to equipment, turn off Camera power. When making electrical connections, width adjustments and when maintaining the tractor or camera, disconnect all power to the control station before servicing.
Water Resistance Interconnect Cable. ATTACHING CAMERA to TRACTOR 6-PIN Make sure camera and Tractor are clean before assembly. Place camera inside tractor cradle lining up mounting holes. Bend cradle forks in a 90-degree angle to get access to mounting bolts. Start 2 screws in front mounting holes by hand. Start 2 screws in rear mounting holes by hand. Tighten front and rear screws using Allen wrench. (5/32, long arm) NOTE: Always tighten front screws first.
Water Resistance Interconnect Cable. ATTACHING CAMERA to TRACTOR 3-PIN Make sure camera and Tractor are clean before assembly. Place camera inside tractor cradle lining up mounting holes. Fold cradle forks in a 90-degree angle to get access to mounting bolts. Start 2 screws in front mounting holes by hand. Start 2 screws in rear mounting holes by hand. Tighten front and rear screws using Allen wrench. (5/32” Long arm) NOTE: Always tighten front screws first.
System Power CAUTION: NEVER HOOK UP OR DISCONNECT ANY EQUIPMENT WITH POWER TURNED ON! The Inspection System requires a steady supply of 120VAC to operate properly. Before starting of the generator or connecting shore power, make sure that ALL equipment inside the vehicle has been turned OFF. Turn down the controls for camera power and cable reel speed. After all equipment has been checked, connect the shore power cord. If a generator is to be used, allow the generator to warm up for a few minutes.
Placing the Equipment into the line Locate the back of the truck so that the cable reel lines up in the direction of the pipeline to be inspected. Allow room to work around the opening while carrying the equipment. Follow cable grip, bridle, and watertight connection instructions. Re-check the pipeline size and extension adjustments. Do not let cable “loop” at the location where it enters pipeline. Use guide poles with hook to keep the tractor stable as it enters pipeline.
Maintenance Each time the camera is removed from the pipeline, wash the entire assembly. Inspect camera cradle and hardware. Inspect camera lens for scratches and cracks. Turn camera on and check light bulbs. Inspect the camera clamps, skids and, mounting hardware. Inspect the power cable and watertight connections for damage. Inspect the bridle, clamps, skids, rails, and mounting hardware. Document number 900-20574 Rev.
