General Safety Rules

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electrical shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate equipment in explo-

sive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Equipment can create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

• Avoid traffic. Pay attention to moving ve- hicles when using on or near roadways. Wear high-visibility clothing or reflector vests.

Electrical Safety

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose equipment to rain or wet conditions. Water entering equipment will increase the risk of electrical shock.

• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Touching equipment or plugs with wet hands can increase the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electrical shock.

• If operating equipment in a damp lo-

cation is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the

risk of electrical shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating equipment. Do not use equipment

while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating equipment may result in serious injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewelry. Loose clothes, jewelry, and long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Practice good hygiene. Use hot, soapy water to wash hands and other body parts exposed to drain contents after handling or using drain inspection equipment. To prevent contamination from toxic or infectious material, do not eat or smoke while operating or handling drain inspection equipment.

• Always use appropriate personal pro-

tective equipment when handling and using equipment in drains. Drains may

contain chemicals, bacteria, and other substances that may be toxic, infectious, and cause burns or other issues. Appropriate personal protective equipment always includes safety glasses and may include a dust mask, hard hat, hearing protection, drain cleaning gloves or mitts, latex or rubber gloves, face shields, goggles, protective clothing, respirators, and steel toed, non-skid footwear.

• If using drain cleaning equipment and drain inspection equipment at the same time, wear RID GID drain cleaning gloves. Never grasp the rotating

drain cleaning cable with anything else, including other gloves or a rag which can become wrapped around the cable and cause hand injuries. Only wear latex or rubber gloves underneath RID GID drain cleaner gloves. Do not use damaged drain cleaning gloves.

Equipment Use and Care

• Do not force equipment. Use the cor- rect equipment for your application. The correct equipment does the job better and more safely.

• Do not use equipment if the power switch does not turn it on and off. Any equipment that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from the equipment before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing. Preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of injury.

• Store idle equipment out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the equipment or these instructions to operate the equipment. Equipment can be danger-

ous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain equipment. Check for mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, missing parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the equipment’s operation. If damaged, have the equipment repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the equipment in unexpected situations.

• Use the equipment and accessories

in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the equipment for operations different from those intended can result in hazardous situations.

• Use only accessories that are rec-

ommended by the manufacturer for your equipment. Accessories that may

be suitable for one piece of equipment may become hazardous when used with other equipment.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Clean handles give better control of the equipment.

SeeSnake rM200 Overview

Description

The SeeSnake® M

™

rM200 series consists of the flagship reels, cameras, and push cables in the premier product family of SeeSnake Max Diagnostic Systems.

The rM200 comes with your choice of drums from the D2 drum series, giving you on-thejob flexibility when the job demands a different push cable and camera combination.

The rM200 can be used with any SeeSnake monitor and is designed to dock with the CS6x Versa

and CS65x for convenient

transport, operation, and storage.

Heavily tested for durability, the rM200’s case helps protect your push cable, prolonging the life of your equipment. Keeping the push cable enclosed when not in use also helps keep surfaces around and between your work areas clean.

Each rM200 model includes a built-in sonde which helps locate problems in the pipe. The rM200A and rM200B feature a FleXmitter

sonde inside the spring assembly. FleXmitter sondes have longer, more powerful antennae capable of putting out a stronger signal without inhibiting the camera’s flexibility through turns. The sonde transmits a 512Hz signal which can be detected by receivers such as the RIDGID SeekTech® SR-20, SR24, SR-60, Scout™, or NaviTrack® II.

The rM200 is easy to transport with its handle assembly and wheels. One stow bin comes standard with each rM200. Store a paint can, gloves, business cards, wrenches, or any other tool you want to keep nearby in the stow bin. Additional stow bins can be ordered and up to two can be installed on the rM200.

The drum’s integrated counter measures how far the camera has traveled inside the pipe. The water-resistant keypad lets you control the counter’s functions, which include day, date, time, distance, and preset or custom text overlays.

Bearings

There are two bearings in the rM200 system. The bearings allow the drum to spin smoothly when pushing the cable and provide resistance when returning the push cable to the drum.

One bearing attaches to the rM200 case and is located inside the front case.
