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.
Storage and Maintenance
• To clean the probe, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with a mild
detergent and clean water. Do not use abrasive detergents. Do
not use corrosives or solvents to clean the probe. Use a high
quality lens cleaning fluid and a lint-free swab to clean the camera and worklight lenses.
