RIDGID introduced the SeeSnake Compact C40 and M40 to its SeeSnake® Compact series of camera reels. Both compact inspection cameras are powered by TruSense technology, feature a 25 mm self-leveling camera head along with 131′ of push cable, and are compatible with RIDGID CSx series Wi-Fi enabled monitors.
A quick-release docking system make the C40 (1.5″ to 6″ line capacity) and M40 (1.5″ to 8″ line capacity) suitable for the new CS6x Versa digital reporting monitor and their sturdy metal frame provides a solid base that makes it easy to push and retrieve the cable for fast, efficient use. The C40’s flexible push cable is for small/restricted branch lines with tight turns and shorter runs in main laterals, while the M40’s moderately stiff push cable better suits longer runs in main and branch lines.
The integrated TruSense technology establishes a two-way data link path between the camera head and a connected RIDGID SeeSnake CSx series Wi-Fi enabled monitor. TruSense technology brings data capability to plumbing diagnostics. A high dynamic range (HDR) image sensor and TiltSense™ inclinometer takes the next leap forward in diagnostic imaging and conveys valuable information about the in-pipe environment.
A common challenge faced by diagnostic professionals is being able to see far down the pipe as well as the image just in front of the camera’s lights. An HDR image sensor expands dynamic range of the compact inspection cameras, allowing a greater ratio of bright and dark areas to be displayed in the same image at the same time without reducing visibility. This means fewer blown-out areas and sections of the pipe that are too dark to see, offering better clarity and detail. TiltSense measures the camera’s angle and, when connected to a SeeSnake CSx series monitor, can convey the camera’s degree of tilt on the monitor display—giving pros a useful indicator of the pitch of the camera in-pipe.
“The compact, lightweight design of our new RIDGID SeeSnake Compact C40 and M40 are engineered to make transporting from work truck to job site easier while minimizing strain on the body,” said Amy Moneypenny, RIDGID Global Product Manager, Underground Technologies – Inspection and Locating. “The small package and all-in-one monitor capability, when used with the SeeSnake CS6x Versa monitor, enhance job site speed and efficiency for a more productive day.”
The Compact C40 and M40 each come with the RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty.
