5. Turn the Power Supply ON. Be sure to first press the

reset button on the GFCI, or there will be no power to
the system. You should now have a picture on the
screen. If you have nothing on the monitor and the
power switch is illuminated (steady light), check to see

that the switch on the monitor is on. If the picture does
not look perfect, you can adjust the contrast, bright-
ness, and horizontal/vertical hold on your monitor
as well as the brightness on the camera head LED
lighting using the dimmer/transmitter knob on the
power supply.

NOTE! If your system is equipped with a SeeSnake

CountIR distance measuring device and you
want to achieve maximum accuracy, place the
camera head in the reel’s guide hoop before
turning the power on, and leave it there until
the CountIR’s start-up screen disappears. See
the CountIR Operator’s Guide for details.

NOTE! If the system is not hooked up completely (for ex-

ample, systems cable not plugged in or camera
head removed) the light on the power supply will
flash “S-O-S”. The monitor will also give indication
of improper set-up by displaying “No Cam” or “No
Dub.” A steady power switch light indicates that
the system is properly hooked up and ready for
video inspection. A slow ON and OFF flashing in-
dicates the dimmer/transmitter knob is fully
counter-clockwise – in transmitter mode.

6. When turning the system off, only the switch on the

power supply needs to be turned OFF. It is not nec-
essary to turn off the monitor or VCR separately.

Camera Inspection
