Pipe Inspection Cameras 

What is a self levelling camera head?
The self level feature allows the camera to automatically level itself to deliver upright in-pipe images, irrespective of the angle at which the device is tilted, as it navigates the pipeline.

What is a sonde transmitter?
Built into the camera head, a sonde transmitter signals its precise location. The transmitting device emits an EM field at a standard frequency of 512Hz. To detect the position of the camera from above the ground, choose one of our locator units. 

Do I need a thick or thin pushrod cable and what length should it be?
Camera head size and pushrod length are dependent on the pipe diameters that you’ll be accessing. For smaller pipe sizes, pushrod length is typically between 20-40m and for longer runs, 60m+. Pushrod thickness and flexibility are dependent on distance.

What is a skid?
A centring skid or guide, protects the camera head, keeps it positioned centrally inside the pipe and allows for increased pipe diameter inspection. 

Do the camera systems come with a warranty?
Yes, all inspection systems come with a 1-Year manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty, and repairs beyond, are provided by our NZ based service partners. 

Do you provide training for the camera system operation?
Yes, training is available either on-site or via video depending on your location, to ensure you feel confident with your  new equipment.

Can I see a demonstration before purchasing?
Yes! We can provide demonstrations either in-person or via video, depending on your location. 

Laser Levels

What's the difference between red beam and green beam lasers?
Green beam is 4-5 times brighter to the human eye and has a longer range.
They can be used for outdoor work and an ideal option for indoor applications where light is low.
Considering green beams have an extra component, they take more time to produce and they consume more battery power. This makes green beam levels more expensive.

Red beam levels operate with a receiver which detects the laser. 
They are recommended for outdoor work, bright conditions and for distances beyond 10m.
Red beam has a longer battery life and doesn't require as much power.

What are IP Ratings and how to read them?
IP rating codes, also known as Ingress Protection or International Protection ratings are used to classify the different levels of sealing effectiveness provided by an electrical enclosure against foreign bodies such as tools, hands, dirt and moisture.
IP ratings have two numbers.
The first relates to solids such as dust and has a maximum rating of 6.
The second relates to liquids and goes as high as 8.
Examples:
IP55 and IP65: Protected from most dust and low pressure water.
IP67: Dust-proof and resistance to water up to a depth. 

When does my rotary laser need calibrating?
Calibration re-test and certification is recommended every 6 months or at least once a year by an authorised service centre.
If your rotary laser has received a knock, the accuracy can be self checked to determine if a re-calibration is required. Self Check Your Rotary Laser Accuracy
