Only the camera head and the gooseneck may be submerged in de-energised liquids. The
gooseneck must not be submerged further than the marking “IP67 max. water level”. The
handle must stay dry at all times.
The borescope must only be used for inspections of de-energised equipment. The camera head
is made of metal and can cause short-circuits. For safety reasons, de-energise all components
prior to every inspection.
Do not exceed the minimum bending radius of 60 mm. This could damage the goosneck.
