4.3.2 Focusing the cameras
The camera focus is adjustable and should be set to match the internal diameter of the pipe under
inspection.
With reference to Tables 4.1 and 4.2, place the camera at the required distance from a target object to get
optimal image quality.
Use the focus tool provided with the camera to turn the focusing ring until the target object is in focus.

4.3.3 Flexisondes and solid sonde
Pearpoint sondes allow location of the camera as it navigates a pipe using a Radiodetection locator, such
as the RD7000+DL.
The flexisonde (built-in on the P341 Plumbers reels) fits between the pushrod and the camera, allowing the
system to better negotiate bends in the pipe.
The solid sonde adds extra rigidity to the camera and it is ideal for “long push” inspections. A solid sonde
can be used in conjunction with a universal flexi.
4.3.4 Universal flexi
When fitted to the pushrod and camera, the universal flexi allows the camera and pushrod to negotiate
sharp bends in the pipe (not required for the Plumbers system).
