6.1 Camera Operation
- Power On: Press the 'ON/OFF' button on the monitor to power on the system.

6.2 Using the 512Hz Locator
The camera probe has a built-in 512Hz transmitter, allowing you to accurately locate its position within the pipe using the handheld locator receiver.
- Activate Transmitter: The 512Hz transmitter in the camera probe activates automatically when the camera system is powered on.
- Power On Locator: Turn on the handheld 512Hz locator receiver.
- Select Mode: The locator typically has 'Far' and 'Near' modes. 'Far' mode detects signals up to 23ft, and 'Near' mode detects up to 13ft. Start with 'Far' mode for initial detection.
- Adjust Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity knob on the locator to get a clear signal. A higher sensitivity setting will detect the signal from further away.
- Locate Signal: Move the locator receiver along the ground above the pipe. The signal strength indicator (visual and/or audio) will increase as you get closer to the camera probe.
- Pinpoint Location: Once a strong signal is detected, switch to 'Near' mode and fine-tune the sensitivity to pinpoint the exact location and depth of the camera probe. The antenna on the locator should be parallel to the ground for best results.
