1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 BEFORE INITIAL OPERATION

Before initial operation, the operator must read

nd understand these operating instructions

a

ompletely in order to avoid damage to life and

c

property. Operation of the device without under-

tanding the operating instructions is never per-

s

mitted. The device is designed exclusively for

industrial use by personnel trained exclusively in

all technical matters.

Extensive knowledge of the device, the testing

technology, the safety instructions and the indu-

strial eld of application is absolutely necessary

for both a damage-free operation of the device

and not endangering the personnel and the wor-

king environment.

The device must never be connected to electrical

mains if you have not understood these instruc-

tions including safety warnings or if you cannot

or do not want to use the device according to the

regulations.

MANDATORY REGULATIONS

Be sure to read before using for the
rst time!

Warning: Danger to life or injury of

eople and considerable risk of da-

p
mage of device and plant!

Warning:
Fatal electic shock!

Warning:
Life-threatening explosion hazard!

Warning:
Life-threatening re hazard!

®

is never liable for the consequences of

viZaar

faulty test results, the loss of inspection data and

unforeseen remains of equipment parts in the in-

vestigated plant.

1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.2 INTENDED USE

This device is used to examine and observe the

nterior of machines, devices, materials and other

i

bjects without damaging the object in question.

o

Do NOT use in areas where explosive gases may

orm. The corresponding ambient conditions (see

f

page 16 ff.) must be observed.

OTHER APPLICATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED!

The devices are not medical devices as dened

within the EU directive 93/42/EEC.

Intended use also includes following the instruc-

tions in this operating manual and observing the

maintenance instructions (chapter 6, page 73).

®

The VUCAM

should NOT be used in areas where there is a risk

of explosion.

The examined object must not contain any corro-

sive substances that could attack the compo-

nents of the device. These include acids in

particular. viZaar®accepts no liability for any cor-

rosion damage caused by such substances.

1.3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

he device or parts of it may not be introduced

T

nder any circumstances human or animal

u

ody orices or used for (veterinary) medical ex-

b

aminations.

The device may not be used under any circum-

stances in potentially explosive or incendiary en-

vironments. The device is not equipped with

protective devices or approvals for operation in

potentially explosive or incendiary environ-

ments.

When operating the probe in the vicinity of ra-

dioactive energy sources as well as in areas with

(radioactive) contamination risks, the correspon-

ding occupational health and safety regulations

must be observed. Continuous exposure or

short-term exposure to/with radioactive sub-

stances can affect the lifetime and performance

parameters of the video probe and the device

depending on the dose rate.

Never insert the probe into plant components

that are unknown or unfamiliar!

Never use the probe with corrosive (acidic or al-

kaline) materials. Risk of destruction and injury

while operating the probe! Never bring the

probe into contact with liquids containing sol-

vents! Risk of destruction! Risk of injury when

pulling out the probe due to adhering product

residues!

11

1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not insert the probe into a ammable gas or

iquid (e.g. a tank).

l

The video probe may not be operated in or in

the vicinity of apparatus or equipment that is

partially or fully live under electrical voltage of

any kind (e.g. transformers, motors, generators,

control panels, etc.). The metallic braiding of the

probe is electrically conductive and will always

transmit dangerous voltages on contact or even

trigger short circuits in the system!

Never insert the probe into system components

when welding or cutting work is being carried

out or will be carried out any time soon. The

probe must never be inserted if other test me-

thods such as eddy current or radiographic te-

sting are made on the same part of the plant.

Never insert the probe into plant areas that are

not completely switched off (e.g. danger by ro-

tating plant components) or cooled down.

Never leave the unit in operation unattended.

Switching off during work breaks is necessary

for safety reasons.

The device must be allowed to acclimatise to

ambient conditions before operating. This ap-

plies in particular to devices that are cooled

down in which condensate deposits during hea-

ting can cause accidents and destruction due to

unintentional electrical voltage ashover.

12

1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The unit may only be operated within the opera-

ting conditions specied in these instructions or

stowed away under the specied storage conditi-

ons.

Avoid extended exposure to UV and solar radia-

tion.

Only original viZaar®accessories or spare parts

described in this manual may be used in con-

junction with the device.

The device must never be opened by the user.

Hazardous electrical voltages are used or gene-

rated in the device. The device may never be

operated under any circumstances with the

housing open. The device may not be operated

if there are audibly loose parts in the device.

The device may only be transported in the trans-

port container designed for this purpose. The

device and its accessories may only be stored in

the transport container in accordance with

these instructions.

The use of excessively long mains extension ca-

bles is life-threatening and prohibited (maxi-

mum 25 metres for a 3 x 1.5mm² copper supply

cable).

Never carry or pull the VUCAM®by the probe

section as this can cause damage to the unit!

13

1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The device must be checked at least once a year

by the manufacturer or an authorised third

arty specialist in order to guarantee the elec-

p

rical safety regulations at the place of use. The

t

evice must not be connected to the electrical

d

supply network or operated in any other way

after a defect or a change deviating from the de-

livered condition has been detected. This ap-

plies in particular if the device has fallen down

or fallen over or been exposed to a liquid.

The device must not be operated with a dama-

ged video probe. There is a risk of injury due to

the metallic protective braid of the probe (re-

commendation: always wear work gloves as a

preventive measure). There is also a danger that

unintentional penetration of liquids in the probe

could permanently impair its function or cause

a life-threatening electric shock for the operator.

The operation of a slightly damaged probe can

lead to a total destruction of the head of the

probe. The operation of a damaged probe is not

permitted, as conformity with the regulations on

the emission of electromagnetic radiation can

no longer be complied with certainty.

Avoid tight windings and knots in the probe. Do

not step on the probe or the head of the probe.

Do not throw the probe head and the associa-

ted optics on the ground and avoid any other

blows to the probe. Possible irreparable da-

mage to your probe!

14

1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

lease do not return any equipment without

P

rst arranging for it to be returned via tele-

phone/fax.

The probe must not be articulated in the sto-

rage position (lying in the case), otherwise the

probe will be damaged!

If operating the device outside its permissible

operating conditions or if the device is dama-

ged, the operation deviates from the instructi-

ons, the operating instructions are not

observed, non-original spare parts and acces-

sories are used or if the device is opened impro-

perly, the warranty obligation or promise of

guarantee of the supplier or manufacturer ex-

pires.
