3. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the e -
quip ment. This aids inspection and helps
prevent the tool from slipping from your
grip.
4. Inspect micro CA-300 Inspection Camera
for any broken, warn, miss ing or bind-
ing parts or any condition which may
prevent safe and normal operation.
5. Inspect the camera head lens for con-
densation. To avoid damaging the unit, do
not use the camera if condensation forms
inside the lens. Let the water evaporate
before using.
6. Inspect the full length of the cable for
cracks or damage. A damaged cable
could allow water to enter the unit and in-
crease the risk of electrical shock.
7. Check to make sure the connections be-
tween the handheld unit, extension cables
and imager cable are tight. All connec-
tions must be properly assembled for the
cable to be water resistant. Con firm unit is
properly assembled.
8. Check that the warning label is present,
firmly attached and readable (Figure 11) .

Tool and Work Area
Set-Up
WARNING
Set up the micro CA-300 In spec tion Cam -
era and work area according to these
procedures to reduce the risk of injury
from electrical shock, entanglement and
other causes and prevent tool damage.
1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that
may ignite. If present, do not work in
area until sources have been identified
and corrected. The micro CA-300 In -
spection Camera is not explosion proof
and can cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable, dry place for opera-
tor. Do not use the inspection camera
while standing in water.
2. Examine the area or space that you will
be inspecting and determine if the micro
CA-300 Inspection Camera is the correct
piece of equipment for the job.
• Determine the access points to the
space. The minimum opening the cam -
era head can fit through is approximate -
ly 3 / " (19 mm) in diameter for the 17
4
mm camera head.
• Determine the distance to the area to
be inspected. Extensions can be add ed
to the camera to reach up to 30' (9 m).
• Determine if there are any obstacles
that would require very tight turns in
the cable. The inspection camera ca ble
can go down to a 5" (127 mm) radius
without damage.
• Determine if there is any electrical pow -
er supplied to the area to be inspected.
If so, the power to the area must be
turned OFF to reduce the risk of electric
shock. Use appropriate lock out pro-
cedures to prevent the power from
being turned back on during the in-
spection.
• Determine if any liquids will be encoun-
tered during the inspection. The cable
