Connecting the Probe

1. Align the white dot on the probe connector with the white dot on
the monitor connector.

2. Plug the probe into the monitor unit, ensuring proper alignment
and full insertion.

3. Tighten the collar nut to secure the connection. Do not
overtighten.

CAUTION

Do not use excessive force when turning the control dial, damage to the cam­era probe can result. Do not attempt to force the flexible neck past its maxi­mum angle. Stop turning the control dial when the maximum angle is reached.

Use caution when removing the probe from an inspection area; if the neck is
at an angle, it may bind and become difficult to remove. Straighten the neck
before removing the probe from the inspection area.

The steps below explain how to safely connect the probe to the
HDV700 monitor. Always turn the HDV700 power off before replac­ing the probe.

Operation

Measurement Considerations

• The probe contains small circuitry that controls the optics and
electronics of the camera. To ensure reliability, do not bend the
probe more than 90°.

• Do not coil the probe < 6 in. (15 cm) in diameter in use.

• To avoid camera damage, please straighten the neck before re­moving it from the inspection area. Failure to do so may cause
the camera to become stuck in the inspection area.

• The neck, near tip of the probe, is particularly sensitive to exces­sive force. Never bend the neck by hand; use only the control
dial.

• Please keep the probe’s alignment as straight as possible while
in use.

• Do not force the control dial when resistance to movement is felt;
Damage to the camera can result.

• Do not allow the probe to forcefully impact an object.

• Do not put excessive weight on any area of the probe.

• Never use the probe as a hammer, hook, or other tool.

• Never use the probe tip to clear pathways or to unclog a pipe.
