Centering Guides

Installing the SeeSnake®

Star-Type Centering Guides

Centering guides can improve the picture by bringing the

camera closer to the pipe’s center, allowing the camera

to see an equal amount of the pipe wall in all direc-

tions. Centering guides also help by raising the camera

out of sludge that is often found below the water line. This

helps keep the lens cleaner, longer, reduces wear and

tear on the LED Ring (

Figure 18).

We recommend using centering guides whenever pos-

sible, but if you are having trouble pushing the camera in

a particular pipe, try it without the guides.

Figure 18 – Centering Guides improve vision by allow-

ing the camera to see an equal amount of

pipe wall in all directions and by raising the

camera out of sludge. They also reduce wear

on the LED ring.

Whether or not you use guides, how many you use,

and where you place them on the spring causes the

camera to behave differently. The best advice is to ex-

periment and decide what’s best for the given job.

One centering guide near the front end of the camera

may bias the camera head upward. This could be bene-

ficial if you need to see the top of the pipe during your

inspection.

Move the guide back a little and the camera head may

bias downward when you push and upward as you pull

back. This could help you see the top and bottom of

larger pipes more easily.

Two centering guides will tend to keep the camera head

aimed toward the center of the pipe, allowing you to

see more of the pipe at once.

Centering guides should be pre-stressed prior to use for

increased flexibility. To do this, slowly bend the spikes

back and forth from the tip (not the base) a few times be-

fore use (

Figure 19)

Figure 19 – Pre-stress tabs by placing your finger at the

top of the spike and slowly pushing the spike

90 degrees. Repeat in the other direction.

Star-type centering guide assembly consists of two parts -

two steel c-ring and the plastic centering guide

(Figure 20).

Figure 20 – Star-Type Centering Guide Components. You

may use from one to three guides.

Installing Star-Type Centering Guides

1. Position a centering guide and two c-rings over the

spring, with the centering guide between the c-rings

(Figure 21).

Figure 21 – Guide and C-Rings Positioned On Spring

Assembly.

2. Position the opening in the centering guide 180 de-

grees opposite the opening in the c-rings (

Fi-

gure 22).

3. Press the c-rings into the grooves on each side of

the centering guide until the c-rings snap into place.

It’s easiest if you place the closed portion of the c-

ring into the groove and work toward the open end

(Figure 22).

Figure 22 – Press the c-rings into the grooves on the

centering guide. Make sure the openings in

the c-rings are 180 degrees opposite the

opening in the pipe guide.

Removing Star-Type Centering Guides

1. Pry off each c-ring with the tip of a flat blade screw-

driver inserted near the open end of the ring and

the base of the spikes

(Figure 23).

Figure 23 – Place flat tip of screwdriver between c-ring

and base of spike and pry c-ring out of

groove.

2. Slide the c-rings and centering guide over the camera

head.

FlatPack Ball-Type Centering Guides

Ball-type centering guides consists of two halves that are

pre-assembled at the factory, and two steel clips that

hold the guide in place on the spring.

ing the camera to see an equal amount of

pipe wall in all directions and by raising the

camera out of sludge. They also reduce

wear on the LED window.
