Description

The FF200 is a handheld visual inspection device, which displays live color video from an imaging and lighting source that is connected to a 1.2 m (4') ﬂexible, CAT IV-rated, optical cable (catalog no. 56270). This device is designed to allow the user to look in hard to reach spaces, and features a LCD screen that provides the user an accurate visual inspection. To increase application ﬂexibility, the hook, magnet, and mirror accessories (included), attach to the optical cable head.

For the CAT III / CAT IV safety compliance to be realized, the optical cable must not be subjected to condensing humidity or standing water. Though the optical cable is waterproof, as water

conducts electricity, this nulliﬁes all electrical safety compliance ratings. Refer to the “Speciﬁcations” section.

The hook, magnet, and mirror accessories are made from steel and will conduct electricity. Usage of these accessories nulliﬁes the electrical safety compliance of the optical cable.
