LED – Light Emitting Diode. Solid-state light that, unlike
an incandescent lamp does not have a fragile filament.
LED Window – The donut shaped window that covers
and protects the LEDs from abrasion.
Spring Assembly – Flexible stainless steel spring and
associated components that hold the camera to the
push cable. It provides a flexible transition from camera
to push cable, and protects the terminations within the
spring. (Figure 2)

Safety Cables – Stainless steel cables (two) within the
spring assembly. They connect between the push cable
termination and the locking sleeve, attaching to the
connector at the back of the camera head. These pre-
vent the spring from over-extending when pulling the
camera out of a pipe, and ensure the connection to
the camera is never stressed.
Locking Sleeves – This device is found at the rear of
the camera within the spring (Figure 3), and with the
connectors on the cable hub (dry end), and both ends of
the system cable (Figure 5). The camera locking sleeve
holds the connector in place and serves as an anchor for
the safety cables. This device is unscrewed from the
back of the camera to detach the connector from it.

The other locking sleeves help ensure a solid connection
at the cable "dry end," hub, or CCU. The locking sleeves
are turned or twisted, but the connectors are never
twisted – just pulled straight apart.

In-Line Transmitter – If you're planning to pinpoint the
problem in a line, you will want a SeeSnake
Transmitter, which is sold as an option.

Spanner Wrench – One piece wrench used to engage the
end of the spring and hold it while removing the camera
head. (See "Removing Camera Head" in the Corrective
Maintenance section.)
Centering guides – Installed over the spring, guides can
help you see the top of larger diameter pipes more
clearly and raise the camera head out of water or sedi-
ment that may obscure the lens. (See Page 15.)
Connectors – All the "plugs" in the system that connect
the camera, push cable, hub, System Cable and Camera
Control Unit. These are the connectors that have guide
pins (male) and guide sockets (female) and an outer
locking sleeve to ensure the connectors are securely
mounted. These connectors ARE NOT to be confused
with 120 volt (or 230V) AC outlet plugs, or any video/
audio jacks. Every SeeSnake System connector in the
system is waterproof and uses a standardized pin pat-
tern, which allows you to plug components into one
another for easy troubleshooting. Refer to Figures 1
through 3.
