81. Check work area for:

• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite. If present, do not work in area until sources have been identi- fied and corrected. The micro CA-350 In spection Camera is not explosion proof and can cause sparks.

• Clear, level, stable, dry place for oper- ator. 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-350 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 approxi- mate ly

" (19 mm) in diameter for the 17 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 inspect- ed. 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 cable and imager head are waterproof to a depth of 10' (3 m). Greater depths may cause leakage into the cable and imager and cause electric shock or damage the equipment. The handheld display unit is water resistant (IP54) 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 spe- cific safety measures required to work a round any chemicals present.
