Reel Assembly
A portable 12 VDC electric powered reel (Figure 6) equipped with a variable speed motor and
1,000 feet (or 1,300 feet for R-Cam 1300) of coaxial cable is used to lower or raise the Camera
in the well. The coaxial cable is lightweight and Kevlar reinforced for strength. A shelf (Figure 6
Item 1) is located on the Reel Assembly to support the R-Cam Control Unit during operation.
An extendable Boom Arm
(Figure 6 Item 2) on the
Reel Assembly supports the
Camera over the well when
lowering or raising the
Camera during the survey.
An Electronic Encoder
(Figure 6 Item 3) is
mounted at the Boom head
and is used to display
accurate footage
information of the
Camera’s depth on
the
Control Unit Video
Monitor. When the system
is not in use the Boom Arm
can be repositioned for
easier storage, by simply
removing the locking pin
(Figure 6 Item 4) at the
base of the Boom Arm,
removing and rotating the
Arm 180 degrees, placing
the Arm back on the base
and replacing the pin.
Power Supply
A 12V DC battery (Figure 1 Item 5) housed in a black box with a lifting handle and an external
battery charger are provided with the system. An LCD voltmeter with protective cover is
located on top of the housing.
