Video Probe Tips
There are a number of Video Probe tips available. To remove a tip from the probe, grasp the focusing ring, back the tip
retention nut down and pull the tip straight up from the probe. To place a tip on the probe, ensure the lens is clean,
slide the tip on to the end of the probe and tighten the tip retention nut. Do not overtighten the retention nut.

Viewing/Focusing a Connector
With the video scope turned on and the video probe plugged into the unit, insert a connector into the universal tip
or insert the panel adapter tip into the appropriate port. Use the focus ring to get the connector image as sharp
as possible.
Note
To make position adjustments with the LRUD buttons, the unit must NOT be in Menu mode. Menu mode is
evident when there is a light blue box positioned around one of the icons. When the touchscreen is used to
roughly center the connector image, the Menu mode is automatically turned off.
Centering a Connector Image
Once the image is stable and focused, use the stylus to touch the approximate center of the connector to snap the
image near the center of the display and the center of the grading rings. Use the LRUD buttons to fine tune the
image to the center of the display.
Pausing Image Scan
To freeze an image in position and focus level for inspection, press the Scan button. This will pause the image at the
current position and focus level. Simply press the Scan button again to set the operational mode back to live mode
for focus and position adjustments
Grading Rings
Turn on or off the grading rings by pressing Menu and using the left or right buttons to highlight the Grading Ring
icon and press Select or touch the icon on the touchscreen to toggle the rings on and off.
Pass/Fail
Using the pass/fail criteria tables on the next page, determine if the connector passes the IEC61300-3-35 standard.
There is a guide to contamination size located at the bottom of the image. To mark a connector as Pass or Fail, enter
the Menu mode, highlight the Pass/Fail Label icon and press Select to cycle through pass, fail, or no grading. The
touchscreen may also be used to cycle through these settings. Once the pass/fail status has be marked, the scan
may be paused with the Scan button and the points of contamination that caused a failure may be marked on the
image.
