Cable Probe
76 Meters / 250 Feet

Rescuing victims from vertical shafts can be an extremely dangerous and time-consuming ordeal. The Searchcam CableProbeÙ has been created to give the rescue team the ability to visualize and communicate with victims up to 250Ì or 76 meters below the surface without having to enter the hazardous area. The Searchcam CableProbe shares all the same features and functions of the standard Searchcam 2000 Victim Location System except that the camera head is attached to a flexible cable rather than the rigid telescoping probe. This gives the ability to lower the articulated camera head down into a shaft to locate the victim. Once the victim has been located, the rescuers can communicate with the victim to determine the extent of injuries and to reassure the victim that help is on the way. At the same time, valuable information can be gathered to determine the best course of action to extricate the victim to the surface. If the victim is deceased, this fact can be determined prior to risking personnel in a rescue attempt. This frees the rescue team to plan a safe orderly recovery, rather than a rapid and potentially dangerous rescue operation. The CableProbe is designed to operate both during extension and retraction of the cable. This feature allows the cable length to be adjusted as needed without shutting down the system. This keeps the entry area free from tangled cords and greatly simplifies line management during the rescue operation.

A confined space rescue is the most difficult and dangerous type of rescue any team will face. The CableProbe can increase rescue team safety by letting the attendant see and hear exactly what the entry team is encountering.

Confined Space Rescue with the CableProbe
The Searchcam CableProbe camera head can be carried into a confined space with the rescue entry team. This will provide both two-way communication and the ability to visually monitor the rescue from outside the space. Once the camera head is placed within the space, the rescue team is free to begin packaging the victim for extrication. During the extrication process, the entry attendant can monitor and communicate with the entry team. Since the camera head is remotely controlled by the attendant, no further action is required from the rescue team. This leaves the rescue team with free hands and free from attached cables. The CableProbe comes with a magnetic clamp that allows placement of the camera head on bulkheads. If it becomes necessary for the rescue team to exit the confined space prior to removing the victim, the CableProbe can be left behind to monitor the victim until the team returns.
