Reset (Zero) the Distance Gauge Display
With the gauge powered, short press the power/reset button (7) to
reset the display to zero.
For the best distance accuracy, zero the display at the point of
probe insertion into the inspection area.
If you wish to set a reference point, other than the starting point,
press the reset button at any time during an inspection. Now you
can monitor the distance travelled from this new reference point.
Distance Gauge Backlight
Short press the backlight button (10) to switch the display backlight
ON or OFF. The backlight will automatically switch OFF after 10
seconds to conserve battery energy.
Measurement Considerations
• Ensure that the camera lens cap is removed before inserting the
probe into the pipe.
• Store the lens cap safely while it is removed.
• For protection, attach the lens cap when storing the camera.
• After connecting the probe to the VS80, verify that a clear cam-
era image is displayed. If not, or if the image is flickering or other-
wise compromised, remove the probe and reattach it. Contact
FLIR support for assistance if issues persist.
• Turn the probe wheel (4) slowly when moving the probe through
a pipe. Do not force the wheel if resistance is detected. Check
the nature of the resistance and clear as necessary before
continuing.
• Use the distance gauge (3) to keep track of the probe travel dis-
tance. Zero the display when you first insert the probe into the
pipe for best accuracy.
• Take still images and video, adjust the display parameters, and
learn of the other features available on the VS80 as described in
the VS80 manual.
• When the inspection is complete, carefully recoil the probe
slowly onto the storage wheel. Clean with a damp cloth and mild
detergent as necessary. Use a high quality lens cleaning fluid
and a lint-free swab to clean the camera, mirror, and worklight
lenses.
