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-330 In spection Camera is not explosion proof
and can cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable, dry place for operator. 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-330 Inspection Camera is the correct
piece of equipment for the job.
(See
Specifications.)
• 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 procedures to prevent the power from
being turned back on during the inspection.
• Determine if any liquids will be encoun-
tered during the inspection. The handheld display unit is water resistant
(IP65) but should not be submerged in
water.
• Determine if any chemicals are pres-
ent, especially in the case of drains. It is
important to understand the specific
safety measures required to work a round any chemicals present. Contact
the chemical manufacturer for required
information. Chemicals may damage or
degrade the inspection camera.
• Determine if any moving parts are pres-
ent in the area to be inspected. If so,
these parts must be deactivated to prevent movement during inspection to
reduce the risk of entanglement. Use
appropriate lock out procedures to prevent the parts from moving during the
inspection.
If the micro CA-330 Inspection Camera is not
the correct piece of equipment for the job,
other inspection equipment is available from

Inspection Equipment
The micro CA-330 Inspection Camera can
also be used with various SeeSnake Inspec tion Equipment and is specifically designed
to be used with the microReel, microDrain™
and the nanoReel Inspection Systems. When
used with these types of equipment, it retains
all of the functionality described in this manual.
The micro CA-330 Inspection Camera can
also be used with other SeeSnake Inspection
Equipment for viewing and recording only.
For use with SeeSnake Inspection Equip ment, the imager head and any cable extensions must be removed. For the microReel,
microDrain™, nanoReel and similar equipment, see the operator’s manual for information on proper connection and use. For other
SeeSnake Inspection Equipment (typically a

prevent damage.
Locating the Sonde
If used with a sonde (In-Line Transmitter), the
sonde can be controlled two ways. If the reel is
equipped with a sonde key, that can be used to
turn the sonde ON and OFF. Otherwise, the
sonde is turned ON by decreasing LED brightness to zero. Once the Sonde has been located, the LEDs can be returned to their normal brightness level to continue the inspection.
A RIDGID locator such as the SR-20, SR-60,
Scout
®
, or NaviTrack®II set to 512 Hz can be
used to locate features in the drain being inspected.
