Safety
Safety Note
Please read and understand all safety cautions before use.
CAUTION
Do not insert the probe into flammable liquid or gas.
This product is designed for industrial use only. It is not intended for use in hu-
man or other biological inspection.
CAUTION
To clean the probe, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent and
clean water. Do not use abrasive detergents, solvents, corrosives, or alcohol
to clean the probe. Use a high quality lens cleaning fluid and a lint-free swab
to clean the camera and worklight lenses.
Do not disassemble the product, damage to the product and electrical shock
may occur.
Avoid direct sun exposure. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
The probe contains sensitive circuitry that controls
the optics and electronics of the camera. Do not
strike the probe or allow it to impact objects
forcefully.
The following liquids have been approved for sub-
mersion of the camera probe: Brake and transmis-
sion fluid, diesel fuel, unleaded gasoline, engine
oil, and CPC hydraulic oil (46AWS).

Connect the Probe
The steps below explain how to safely connect the HDV700 Video-
Scope with the probe. Always switch the HDV700 power off when
making connections.
Attach the HDV700 to the reel.
Connect the probe to the HDV700 by first aligning
the white dot on the probe connector with the white
dot on the HDV700 connector and then pushing
the probe into the HDV700 cavity until it seats
firmly.
Tighten the collar nut to secure the connection. Do not overtighten.

Uncoiling the Probe
Loosen the wheel stopper.
Uncoil the probe horizontally from the camera
head stopper. Do not pull probe up over a 45°
angle.
After uncoiling the desired probe length, fasten the
wheel stopper.
Recoiling the Probe
Carefully coil the probe back onto the wheel
horizontally.
After coiling the probe onto the wheel, affix the
camera head on the camera head stopper.
Ensure that the wheel stopper is secured.

Brush Accessory
The probe includes a brush accessory that assists the probe as it
moves through the pipe under inspection. The brush can clear de-
bris that may impede the probe. The brush diameter is 4 in. (100
mm).
To attach the brush, follow the instructions below.
Position the mounting ring so that it aligns with the
screw holes.
Tighten the screws.
Distance Gauge
The electronic gauge measures and displays the distance that the
probe travels into the inspection area. The gauge tracks forward
and reverse movement.

distance
2. Power/Reset button. Press for 3 seconds to
switch ON or OFF. Short press to reset/zero
the display
3. Unit of measure button (meters and feet)
4. Display backlight button
5. Battery compartment cover
6. Battery compartment screw
7. Battery status
8. Unit of distance measure (meters)
9. Unit of distance measure (feet)

Powering the Distance Gauge
The distance gauge is switched ON or OFF by pressing the power
button (2) for three seconds. After one hour, the gauge will auto-
matically switch off, to conserve battery energy.
The battery status icon (7) shows the current battery power. To re-
place the batteries, follow the steps below:
1. Switch the meter off by pressing the power button (2) for three
seconds.
2. Remove the battery compartment screw (6).
3. Remove the compartment cover (5).
4. Remove the old batteries and dispose of them responsibly.
5. Install the two new AAA batteries, observing correct polarity.
6. Close the compartment and secure it with the compartment
screw.
Change the Measurement Units
The display shows the probe travel distance in meters (m) and feet
(ft), short press the units button (3) to toggle the displayed units.
Reset (Zero) the Distance Gauge Display
With the gauge powered, short press the power/reset button (2) to
reset the display to zero.
For the best accuracy, zero the display at the point of probe entry
into the inspection area.
If you wish to set a reference point, other than the starting point,
press the reset button at any time during an inspection. Now you
can monitor the distance travelled from this new reference point.
Distance Gauge Backlight
Short press the backlight button (4) to switch the display backlight
ON or OFF. The backlight will automatically switch OFF after 10
seconds to conserve battery energy.

Measurement Considerations
• Ensure that the camera lens cap is removed before inserting the
probe into the pipe.
• Store the lens cap safely while it is removed.
• For protection, attach the lens cap when storing the camera.
• After connecting the probe to the HDV700, verify that a clear
camera image is displayed. If not, or if the image is flickering or
otherwise compromised, remove the probe and reattach it.
• Turn the probe wheel slowly when moving the probe through a
pipe. Do not force the wheel if resistance is detected. Check the
nature of the resistance and clear as necessary before
continuing.
• Use the distance gauge to keep track of the probe travel dis-
tance. Zero the display when you first insert the probe into the
pipe for best accuracy.
• Take still images and video, adjust display parameters, and more
from the HDV700 touch screen (refer to the HDV700 user
manual).
• When the inspection is complete, carefully recoil the probe
slowly onto the storage wheel.
Cleaning
Clean the probe with a damp cloth and mild detergent as necessary.
Clean the camera, mirror, and worklight lenses, using a high quality
lens cleaning fluid and a lint-free swab.
