P340 flexiprobe Operation Manual 34
Section 6: System operation
This Section introduces the user to basic operation of the P340 flexiprobe system. Note in particular the
reel calibration procedure, which must be completed every time the system is used. Failure to calibrate the
pushrod counter may lead to inaccurate distance readings.
6.1 Before you begin
Assess your deployment and safety requirements before you begin. Different environments may pose
risks and challenges that you may be unaccustomed to.
Check that no hazardous gases or vapors are present. DO NOT USE the P340 flexiprobe system in
potentially explosive environments.
Seek assistance if required and always use correct heavy-lifting practices.
6.2 Calibration
The pushrod reel must be calibrated every time the controller is switched on and connected to a reel.
Calibrating the rod counter is different to zeroing the rod counter.
Once the rod is correctly wound, use the following procedure to calibrate the reel.
Calibration procedure:
Ensure that the rod is layered evenly and correctly onto the reel and the end is level with the rod
guide.
Connect the controller to a power source,
Switch the controller on.
Note the welcome screen.
Press OK on the keypad to continue.
Immediately calibrate and zero the camera position by pressing F10 on the keyboard, or pressing ▲
and ▼on the keypad simultaneously.
Once calibrated and zeroed the flashing ‘CAL’ caption changes to ‘0ft’ or ‘0.0m’.
When in custom layout you can move the On-screen Information counter field around the screen
to suit your preferences. See Section 5.5 for more information.
