Kollmann
Spring Assembly – Flexible stainless steel spring and as-
sociated components that hold the camera to the push
cable. It provides a flexible transition from camera to push
cable, and protects the terminations within the spring.
In Line Transmitter – Is contained within the spring as-
sembly.
Safety Cable – Stainless steel cable within the spring
assembly that keeps the spring from over-extending
and ensures the camera's internal connectors are not
stressed when pulling the camera out of a pipe.
2) Drum
Push Cable – (Figure 1) Terminates right behind the
spring. It has a high-strength fiberglass core stiff enough
to allow long distance pushing while flexible enough to
negotiate tight turns. The tough outer jacket is abra-
sion resistant.
Drum – The push cable is stored in the molded gray
drum. The drum is rust and dent-proof and keeps waste
water off your customers' carpets.
Interconnect Cord – Stores on the drum and provides
the connection between the camera reel and the CCU.
(Figure 1)
Locking Sleeve – Found at the end of the Interconnect
Cord, it provides a solid connection between the CCU
and the reel.
NOTE! When attaching or removing the Interconnect Cord
from the CCU, ONLY turn the connector's outer
locking sleeve! Bending or twisting the connector
body inside the locking sleeve will damage the
connector!
3) Monitor Pack Camera Control Unit
(CCU)
The Monitor Pack is a camera control unit (CCU) that
provides power to the camera reel, control of the cam-
era's light intensity and a built-in monitor for viewing
the image. The Monitor Pack (Figure 3) may be powered
by either a 120 volt or 230 volt AC source. A 14.4V
Makita
