1 Function and usage

The manhole zoom camera STV-4 offers a far-reaching look into sewer pipes, waste

water pipes and water piping in normal operation from manholes and inspection

openings, without the need of entering or previous cleaning. With this tool, used to

inspect the operating condition, the operation, control and cleaning of the drainage

systems can be organised under completely new conditions.

The zoom camera STV-4 will be fully software-controlled by WLAN with a tablet PC

or notebook of the operating personnel or from a camera inspection car operator

workstation. The supplied control software can be installed on any number of control

PCs of the potential users.

Due to the special lighting characteristic of the 12 high efficiency LEDs and the

extremely high light sensitivity of the camera module used, the STV-4 is, starting with

DN 150, suitable for zoom inspection of public drainage systems in the entire

dimension range, especially for large dimensions as well as shaft and special

structures.

Depending on the dimensions ‘range and the operating situation, the STV-4 is either:

a) Manually adjusted in the shaft channel, by means of a telescopic rod and a

support foot, which can be adjusted depending on the dimensions, so that it is

approximately in the channel axis

or:

b) The telescopic rod is clamped in the optionally supplied tripod and the camera

is positioned in the channel axis

Due to the integrated motor-driven angle adjustment, the actual inspection can be

fully carried out by software, if the camera is correctly aligned at a horizontal level.

3 Commissioning

3.1. Insert the batteries into the router

Router/radio amplifier (is used for the extension of the WLAN signal)

Insert the battery into the router/radio amplifier as shown in the figure below. Insert

the battery into the battery housing with the positive pole first (see picture). The

router is operated with a single lithium-ion round cell battery. A battery charge will

operate for approx. 14 hours. This ensures a safe daytime operation without the need

for an exchange of batteries.

Router with battery and cover (observe battery polarity!)

Switch the router on via the non-locking push-button by keeping it pressed until it

starts blinking (approx. 1 second).

To switch off press the push-button briefly. The router sends a confirmation via a

quick blinking sequence of the LEDs. The camera cannot be controlled if the router is

not switched on. The camera logs on to the router. Then the control PC logs on to the

WLAN of the router. Now it can control the camera and connect to the video

streaming.

The current battery level of the router is displayed in the upper right corner of the

status bar of the control software and is also indicated by the blinking speed of its

operating LEDs. A 2-second interval means a battery charge greater than 60% and a

1-second interval means a battery charge greater than 40%. Faster blinking cycles

indicate an imminent battery change.

3.2. Insert the batteries into the camera

STV4 Manhole zoom camera

Insert the batteries into the camera as shown in the figure below. Insert the batteries

into the battery housing with the positive pole first (see picture). The camera is

operated with three lithium-ion round cell batteries. The batteries must be inserted in

the order “positive pole/negative pole”, “positive pole/negative pole”, “positive

pole/negative pole”. Same poles must not come into contact!

Camera battery tube with cover and battery pack in correct polarity (Minus towards the cover)

A battery charge is sufficient for daily operation in ECO mode (see chapter 4.3)

tube can be illuminated for approx. 1.5 hours with maximum lighting in the boost

mode. The camera is equipped with a locking switch used for switching on and off.

The camera is ready for use after approx. 100 seconds.

The current charge status of the battery is indicated by the blinking frequency of the

operating LEDs as well as in the status bar of the control software. A 2-second

interval means a battery charge greater than 60% and a 1-second interval means a

battery charge greater than 40%. Faster blinking cycles indicate an imminent battery

change. In addition, the battery status is displayed in the control software.

If a battery change could not be completed in time and the camera is turned off

suddenly, the last video recording may not be stored correctly.

3.3. Preparation STV4 camera (filling pressure + support foot)

The STV-4 camera unit is not explosion proof but has the possibility of being filled

with a shielding gas (e.g. nitrogen) for the purpose of leakage monitoring (please

observe the operation notes/warnings at the end of the documentation!). To do so

remove the protective cap located on the rear of the filling valve and fill the camera

via a suitable, finely adjustable pressure reducer with an overpressure of 0.4 - 0.5

bar. Remount then the protective cover.

CAUTION! The camera can be destroyed and can lead to personal injury, if the

maximum permissible filling pressure of 0.5 bar is exceeded!

The pressure prevailing in the camera body is continually

monitored by the camera electronics. If the value falls

below the pressure limit of 0.2 bar (corr. to 2 m water

column) an appropriate warning message is displayed on

the user interface of the PC software. The operation must

be cancelled immediately.

Overpressure-Filling connection

If the value exceeds the pressure limit of 0.7 bar, a warning message is also

displayed. In that case, the filling pressure can be lowered by briefly opening the

filling valve. At normal operating conditions, the pressure can increase due to internal

overheating of the camera body. In that case, repeat the discharge of the pressure.

The pressure limits are designed to ensure that the 0.7 bar cannot be reached,

provided that the camera has been filled at room temperature with 0.5 bar. To

prevent fogging of the pane from the inside during operation do not use moist air for

filling.

The current filling pressure can be displayed via the software interface in the upper

right corner of the screen. To change the display, click the big battery symbol

(camera battery) in the area of the status window. By clicking the status display

again, it changes to the filling pressure, then to the temperature and finally back to

the battery indicator.

Status display with battery symbol in

the middle. Click on the battery icon

to go to the next view.

Status display with filling pressure

(P) in mbar. By clicking on the

pressure indicator, it changes to the

next view.

Status display with temperature (T)

in °C. By clicking on the temperature

indicator, it switches again to the

battery indicator.

If the camera unit is placed in the shaft channel (use without a tripod), the supplied

spring-loaded support foot must be installed and adjusted to half the diameter value

according to the nominal pipe size to be inspected.

It is recommended to adjust a height value above the

water line during the inspection of partially filled channels,

since the optical properties of the headlights and the

camera are drastically restricted during the operation

under water. Furthermore, a radio operation under water

is technically not possible.

Adjustment of the support foot

After the video image is displayed on the screen, move the camera with the

telescopic rod into the shaft to be examined. The camera hangs on the tripod holder

if a tripod is used; without a tripod, the camera is placed into the shaft channel by

means of the previously installed support leg. The control units in the software

provide a full control of all camera functions.

The control software allows you exploit the entire functionality of the camera. You

control the zoom, focus, horizontal orientation, lighting, screen display and the video

settings. You can monitor the battery level, the temperature and the filling pressure.

Moreover, photos and videos can be digitally stored, viewed and managed.
