Crawler deployment tools
The crawler deployment tools, fig 2.16, for the P354 and P356 crawlers are optional accessories that allow an operator
to safely deploy and remove a crawler into manholes, culverts and other access points. The deployment tools can
deploy and remove the crawler in conduits up to five meters (16.5 feet)* deep.
*Using all 3 of the supplied poles.

Refer to Section 4.2 Crawler Deployment for a guide to crawler deployment.
2.2 Drums & External PSU
The external PSU connects to the manual drum using the link cable. The single end connects to the manual drum
and the split end terminals connect to the manual drum connection panel on the rear side of the PSU’s handle.
MK3 system connectors are not compatible with MK1 and MK2 sockets. Contact Pearpoint or your local distributor
for the latest compatibility options.
CAUTION The external connectors must be properly sealed by the blanking caps provided, or by using the correct
leads to prevent water damage. Under no circumstances are these connectors to be left un-blanked
NOTE: The Powered drum is capable of winding in deployed cable. When retrieving the cable, the drum will rewind
slightly faster than the crawler is reversing, in order to keep tension on the cable. This is normal operation.
