Safety instructions
All instructions must be read and observed.
The safeguards integrated into the inspection camera may be compromised if the in-
spection camera is not used in accordance
with these instructions. STORE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN
A SAFE PLACE.
u Have the inspection camera repaired only by a quali-
fied repair person and only using identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the inspec-
tion camera is maintained.
u Do not operate the inspection camera in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Sparks can be created in the in-
spection camera which may ignite the dust or fumes.
u Remove the rechargeable battery from the inspection
camera before carrying out any work on the inspection camera (e.g. assembly, maintenance, etc.) as well
as when transporting and storing the inspection camera.
u Remove the batteries from the inspection camera
when not using it for longer periods. The batteries can
corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage.
u Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the light beam yourself (even from a
distance).
u Check the work area before using the inspection cam-
era. No part of the inspection camera may come into
contact with electrical cables, moving parts or chemical substances. Interrupt the electric circuit of electrical cables running through the work area. These
measures reduce the risk of explosions, electric shock
and damage to property.
u Wear appropriate personal protective equipment like
protective goggles, protective gloves or a protective
mask, if there are substances harmful to health in the
work area. Sewers or similar areas can contain solid, li-
quid or gaseous substances that are poisonous, infectious, corrosive or otherwise harmful to health.
u Pay particular attention to cleanliness if you work in
areas with substances harmful to health. Do not eat
during work. Avoid contact with substances harmful to
health, and clean hands and other body parts that could
have come into contact with them with hot soapy water
after work. This reduces the danger to health.
u Do not stand in water if you are using the inspection
camera. Working in water poses a risk of electric shock.
u Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
ing.
u In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
u If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flam-
mable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact
with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes
into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical
attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause ir-
ritation or burns.
u The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
u When the battery is not in use, keep it away from pa-
per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could make a connection from one
terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery
terminals may cause burns or a fire.
u Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
u Only charge the batteries using chargers recommen-
ded by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a
different battery.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
Keep the magnetic accessories away from
implants and other medical devices, e.g.
pacemakers or insulin pumps. The magnets
in the accessories generate a field that can impair the function of implants and medical
devices.
u Keep the magnetic accessories away from magnetic
data storage media and magnetically-sensitive
devices. The effect of the magnets in the accessories can
lead to irreversible data loss.

Working Advice
Check the environment that you want to inspect, paying particular attention to obstacles or hazardous areas.
Bend the camera cable(13) so that the camera head can be
easily introduced into the environment to be inspected.
Carefully introduce the camera cable.
Adjust the brightness of the camera illumination light(15) so
that the image is easily recognisable. When photographing
highly reflective objects, for example, you can achieve better
results in lower light.
If objects to be inspected look blurred, then reduce or increase the distance between camera head(14) and object.
Recommendations for optimal handling of the battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the machine only within a temperature range between
−20°C and 50°C. As an example, do not leave the battery in
the car in summer.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indicates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
