Safety Instructions

WARNING: READ THE “OPERATORS MANUAL” THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING ANY SPARTAN

TOOL PRODUCTS. DRAIN/SEWER CLEANING CAN BE DANGEROUS IF PROPER

PROCEDURES ARE NOT FOLLOWED. KNOW THE PROPER OPERATION, CORRECT

APPLICATIONS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF ALL SPARTAN TOOL PRODUCTS BEFORE USE.

CAUTION #1

Use of any electrical equipment in a wet environment can cause fatal shock if equipment is

not properly grounded, adequately maintained, and if care is not used by the operator.

A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS —

Before charging your Spartan Minicam, make sure a properly grounded, three hole electrical

outlet is available. If not, as in some older homes, use a three-prong adapter and connect the

green pigtail (or grounding lug) to a known ground such as a cold water pipe. A three- prong

adapter is available through Spartan Tool. Never cut off the grounding prong for use in a two

hole outlet receptacle. By doing so, you have cut off your protection from shock.

The Spartan Minicam must be grounded while charging or operating using the 110V power cord

to protect the operator from electrical shock. The Spartan Minicam comes with a three-conductor

cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the properly grounded receptacle. An adapter,

see sketches (B) and (C), is available for connecting, sketch (A) type plugs, to a two-prong

receptacle, except in Canada.

Page 4

Safety Instructions (cont)

The green-colored rigid ear (or lug), extending from the adapter must be connected to a

permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Don’t assume that all three-hole outlets are properly installed. Check the outlet and

also the adapter, if used, with an outlet testing device which quickly indicates if a ground is

connected. Correct a faulty test indication before proceeding. The use of a Ground Fault

Interrupter is the safest means to check for proper grounding.

B. EXTENSION CORDS —

Plug the power cord attached to the Minicam directly into an inspected outlet. If an extension

cord must be used, it must be of an approved three-wire type in good condition, equipped with

a three-prong plug. Never cut off the grounding prong for use in a two hole outlet receptacle. By

doing so you have cut off your protection from shock.

C. OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS —

When Spartan Tool equipment is used outdoors, use an extension cord intended for use outdoors

and so marked.

D. AVOID ELECTRICAL CORD ABUSE —

Never move or lift Spartan Tool equipment by the cord. Do not yank cord at one end to disconnect

it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges to avoid damage. Always

replace or repair damaged cords.

E. ALWAYS WEAR RUBBER BOOTS IN WET AREAS FOR ADDED PROTECTION

WARNING: SPARTAN TOOL PRODUCTS ARE NEVER TO BE OPERATED IN AN EXPLOSIVE

ENVIRONMENT.

CAUTION #2

Avoid eye or skin contact with acids or caustic substances while inspecting drains/sewers.

A. Always wear safety goggles when inspecting drain/sewers to avoid injury to eyes.

Page 5

Safety Instructions (cont)

B. Before beginning work, ask the customer if either acids or caustic substances are present in the

pipe. If in doubt, litmus paper used at the opening of the pipe may give an indication of the type

of substance in the line. Litmus paper (acids/caustics) can be purchased at most pharmacies.

C. Exposure to acids or caustic substances can cause the push cable to break or to become to

brittle. Depending upon the concentration of acids or caustic substances in the drain/sewer,

push cables may break or become brittle in the drum, in the pipe, or when placing the cable

back into the drum. If the push cable remains exposed to acids or caustic substances for any

length of time, the cable can continue to be damaged.

CAUTION #3

Drains/sewers carry bacteria and the possibility of infectious disease exists, if exposed.

A. Always wear safety goggles and Spartan Tool riveted gloves with rubber gloves inside the riveted

gloves to minimize exposure to infection from bacteria in pipes.

B. Avoid contact with ears, eyes, or mouth with contents of pipe to lower the risk of infection. DO

NOT SMOKE!

C. Avoid exposing any cuts to drains/sewers and sewer inspecting equipment

CAUTION #4

Follow all rules of safety and good housekeeping.

A. Keep work area clean.

B. Stay alert.

C. Place the unit and controls in a stable and accessible position for safe operation.

D. Properly store the tools.

E. Keep children away from all equipment.

F. Use only recommended equipment and accessories. Maintain tools in original working condition.

G. Do not exceed limitation of equipment or accessories.

H. Always wear recommended safety gear

I. Always lift with legs and not your back.

Battery Operation & Charging

BATTERYOPERATION

The Spartan Minicam is designed to operate using internal battery power, 110V AC (household

current), or 12V DC (automobile). A fully charged battery will last approximately 4 hours. When

using the VCR, the battery will last approximately 2 hours. NOTE: Battery run time will vary

depending on which camera head is being used (color or black/white), beacon or non-beacon, and

the light intensity setting. The yellow DC LOW light will begin to flash when the battery begins to

run low. When the flashing yellow light changes to a solid yellow light you will have approximately

30 more seconds before the unit shuts down. If the unit shuts down, you can power the unit up for

an additional 30 seconds by pressing the POWER ON button. This feature may allow you to finish

the pipe inspection in critical situations.

BATTERYCHARGING

110V AC – To charge the internal battery using a 110V power source you will need to uncoil

the 110V power cord (see Pic. 1) and plug the end into a 110V electrical outlet. The green

FULL CHARGE light will begin to flash indicating that the unit is being charged. When the

green FULL CHARGE light turns into a solid green light, the unit is fully charged. Once the

batteries are fully charged, the battery charger will automatically switch to trickle charge.

12V DC – To charge the internal battery using a 12V DC power source you will need to

uncoil the 12V DC power cord (see Pic. 1) and plug the end into an automobile power port

(cigarette lighter). The green FULL CHARGE light will begin to flash indicating that the unit

is being charged. When the green FULL CHARGE light turns into a solid green light, the unit

is fully charged. Once the batteries are fully charged, the battery charger will automatically

switch to trickle charge.

Battery Recharge Time: Approximately 4-6 hours.

NOTE: When using the 12V DC power cord to charge the Minicam, make sure to unplug the

12V DC power cord from the automobile power port before starting the vehicle.

VCR Recording and Playback

To use the built in VCR follow the steps below.

RECORDING

1. Insert a VHS tape into the cassette compartment. The VCR will automatically power on.

2. Press the POS button to position the distance counter text in a location other than the upper left corner of

the monitor screen. NOTE: During recording, the distance counter text will be recorded and displayed on

the monitor screen during playback. If you do not want the distance counter text to be recorded, press the

POS button until the text is not shown on the screen.

3.When you are ready to begin recording, press the REC button. The REC button will light up in red and the

text REC will appear in the upper left corner of the monitor screen to indicate the unit is recording.

4. To end recording, press the STOP button. The word STOP will appear in the upper left corner of the

monitor screen to indicate the unit is no longer recording.

NOTE: To use the microphone feature, refer to the section below titled “Microphone Operation”.

PLAYBACK

1. To view a previously recorded tape, insert the VHS tape into the cassette compartment.

2.Press the PLAY button. The PLAY button will light up in red and the word PLAY will appear in the upper left

corner of the monitor screen. The recorded image should now be displayed on the screen. NOTE: This

VCR features an auto tracking feature that will adjust the tracking automatically when a taped is played.

3.To rewind or fast forward during playback, press the REW or FF button. The chosen button will blink in red

and no text will be displayed on the monitor screen. For faster rewinding or fast forwarding, stop the tape by

pressing the STOP button and then press either the REW or the FF button. The chosen button will light up

in red and the proper text will be displayed on the monitor screen. The tape will now rewind or fast forward

at high speed.

NOTE: If the microphone feature was used during recording, the sound will not be heard during

playback on the Minicam. You must use a VCR that is hooked to an audio/video source such as a

home television.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

The video heads enable the VCR to read video information pictures from the tape during playback. In the

unlikely event that the heads become clogged with dirt video playback will be impossible. This can easily be

determined during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but the picture is extremely snowy.

If this is the case, contact Spartan Tool.

NOTE: During normal operation of the VCR, the video and audio heads can accumulate dirt over a period of

time, especially when using an old or poor quality tape. When the heads are dirty, the picture can get snowy

and the tracking control will have little or no effect. If this condition occurs, head cleaning cartridges may

take care of the problem and restore normal picture. We recommend that head cleaning cartridges be used

sparingly since they are very abrasive and can damage the video heads during prolonged use. If the problem

is not resolved with the head cleaning cartridge then contract Spartan Tool.
