World Pipelines,
Electric Eel MFG. Co. Inc. has introduced the ACE 2, which features one-touch USB recording, an on-screen footage counter, a wheel kit for easy transport and maneuverability, and a heavy-duty screen cover. The Ace 2 takes the guesswork out of jobs by allowing quick inspection and location of a wide variety of pipeline problems. Reduces cost by knowing exactly where the problem is before digging.
The ACE 2 also features a rugged stainless steel housed 1.68 in. dia. color camera with sapphire lens, 20 LED light ring and high resolution CCD element (optional self-leveling color camera available), 200 ft. of Kevlar braided 0.5 in. dia. push rod, an industry standard 512 Hz Sonde, 5.4” LCD monitor with AR Film for optimal viewing in sunlight encased in an anodised aluminum housing mounted to the reel, a protective acrylic anti-glare monitor shield, a video output jack for recording option, flexible camera spring to navigate 3 in. P-traps, a rugged and portable powder-coated steel frame, a secure-locking reel brake and a centering skid. A heavy-duty screen cover closes to protect the monitor when in transit or storage, and flips up to act as a sun shield for viewing in bright sunlight. Now standard on all Ace 2 units, and can be retrofitted to all existing units.
