OPERATION
Hold the camera head and cable only in voltage-free liquids (no acidic
or basic solutions). The cable may not be submerged in water past the
marking “IP 67 max. water level” located on the plug, as the plug itself is not
waterproof.
The endoscope is suited for inspection only in voltage-free systems.
The camera head is made of metal and can cause short-circuiting. For
safety reasons, make sure all system components are voltage-free before
inspection.
1. Carefully connect the product plug to the corresponding socket on your endoscope main
unit.
Make sure that the pins inside the plug are correctly aligned with the socket to prevent
their breaking off or bending.
2. Secure the connection using the fastening ring on the endoscope main unit.
3. Repeat these steps in reverse order to disconnect the product from your endoscope main
unit.
You can find further operating instructions, such as on regulation of LED brightness, in
the operating instructions of the endoscope main unit.
