INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’ (General’s) P18HPART
VGA Resolution Wireless Articulating Probe. Please read this manual carefully
and thoroughly before using the probe.
The P18HPART is the 1-meter long version of a high-performance, wireless,
camera-tipped articulating probe that captures video and still images at VGA
(640 x 480 pixel) resolution. Inside its controller is a transmitter that makes the
probe compatible with the DCS1800 Wireless Recording Video Borescope
console. Working together, the two components are called a DCS18HPART
system.
The P18HPART’s five super-bright LEDs make it particularly suitable for
inspecting dark environments and viewing parts and structures within them.
The articulation function is provided by a wheel on the probe controller for
remotely adjusting the angle of the probe tip while it is within a tight space in
order to inspect targets outside the camera’s nominal field of view.
