permanently. The battery cannot be overcharged.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the system
automatically switches to float charging.
When the power supply unit is connected the
battery-charge warning lamp is illuminated.
Red: Battery discharged (< 70%) -> fast charge.
Green: Battery charged (> 70%) -> float charging.
When the ROCAM
is switched on the device always
®
switches to float charging irrespective of the degree
of charge or discharge of the battery.
The equipment can function independent of the
mains for approx. 2.5 hours with a fully charged
battery.
New batteries reach their full capacity after 4-5
charge and discharge cycles. Batteries which have
not been used for a long time should be recharged
before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C reduce the battery's
performance. Avoid long periods of exposure to sun
or heat.

Cleaning
It is essential to clean the equipment after every
tube inspection.
Switch off the equipment, remove the battery and,
where applicable, disconnect the power supply unit.
Close the cover ensuring that it locks into place.
Clean the reel cable on the base with water (spray
jet). Clean the camera head with water (spray jet)
before inserting it into the bracket.
Never aim the jet of water at the front of the
equipment (display screen/control panel).
Operating the equipment
Clean the tube system before inspecting the tubes.
1
Press the button and open the cover, ensuring
that it locks into place.
2
Switch on the equipment using the rotary
button.
Switch on the display screen using the "POWER"
button.
3
Remove the camera head from the bracket and
uncoil the reel cable from the reel.
The reel cable is rigid and under mechanical
stress. Therefore hold the reel cable tight when
uncoiling it from the reel!
4
Insert the camera head in the tube system and
feed it in carefully with the reel cable.
Do not kink the reel cable or pull it over sharp
edges!
Wear protective gloves!
Always stand beside the reel cable!
For tube ø greater than 80 mm mount the guide
pieces. The guide pieces can be adjusted to the tube
ø by cutting off the margins.
The reel cable can form loops while being fed in
constituting a risk of fracture!
The camera picture can turn upside down while
being fed through several bends in the tube –
this is a normal occurrence and does not mean
that the system is defective.
Upon completion of work pull the reel cable out of
the tube and roll it directly onto the reel.
Clean the camera head under flowing water (spray
jet – not pressure jet)
Replace camera head in bracket.
Close cover. Display screen switches off
automatically.

Replacing the protective camera glass
If scratched, the protective camera glass can be
easily replaced.
.
Proceed with extreme caution and care when
replacing the protective camera glass! The
