Pan and Tilt Camera- Solid State Color- Multi-Conductor
The pan and tilt view camera is specifically designed to provide a close-up view
of sewer pipe walls and lateral entrances through the use of a low light sensitive
camera, movable camera head and directional lighting. The unit is color and
designed for operation through up to 1,000 ft. of multi-conductor cable in sanitary
and storm sewers. Chassis construction is 100% solid state circuitry designed to
withstand shocks and vibration normally sustained while being pulled through a
pipe. The image pick-up device is a low light sensitive, 3 Lux solid state camera.
Operating climatic ranges of the camera are 0 degrees C to + 50 degrees C, and up
to 100% relative humidity.
The camera provides 360 degrees of radial rotation viewing with chip rotation to
view all sewer wall surfaces and lateral connections. The rotating camera and
lighthead configuration provides 240 degrees of pan and tilt angle measuring
centerline to centerline. With the 70 degree lens viewing angle, this yields a total
pan and tilt viewing area in excess of 300 degrees. This configuration provides a
70 degree reverse angle (rear) viewing capability for incoming lateral inspection
when camera is moving downstream away from lateral connections. The camera
design provides over 90 percent spherical viewing of the pipe or chamber being
inspected.

2. Camera Power Control Unit, Multi-Conductor, Remote Focus, Color
Power control unit has the necessary switches, controls, and meters for control
and distribution of electric power for TV system. This system is contained in a
modular rack mount for protecting and handling. It has plug-in type receptacles
for interconnection between TV system components. All receptacles and plugs
are of keyed vibration-proof type to eliminate incorrect connections or
loose/erratic connections. Power control unit has a transistorized camera power
source, whose input is through an isolation transformer, and whose output is
through variable current voltage and polarity, allowing use of any multi-conductor
camera supplying composite video to power control unit. Power control unit has
a DC voltmeter and ammeter to monitor status of camera power, and a solid state
lighthead power source, whose input is through an isolated variable transformer
and whose output is DC, adjustable from zero to a maximum of 150V. Limiting
circuits are used in light power supply to prevent over voltage/current conditions.
Output for camera/light power is fused for safety and equipment protection. Unit
has an indicator light to show power on/off, and selector switch for lighthead to
allow use of lighthead requiring varying voltage and current. Limiting circuitry
will be set to buyer's specifications.
Color Power Control Unit Remote Camera Adjustment
The color power control unit will be equipped with the following remote camera
adjustments:
FOCUS CONTROL - A two-pole switch spring loaded to off permits the
operator to adjust the camera focus for changes in pipe diameter or
different views of defect conditions. In the neutral position, the camera
focus will be electronically locked.
AUTOMATIC IRIS CONTROL - This control allows the operator to
override the camera's automatic light compensating circuitry operating
range in the event an excess of light or lack of light produces a poor
picture response. With the proper adjustment, the operator can change the
iris opening to compensate for the light level available thereby improving
the picture response.
Systems requiring manual external camera settings or the removal of the camera
from the sealed housing in the field to make these adjustments shall be deemed
not acceptable.
