1 INTRODUCTION
This product has been designed to be used with mechanical devices or to inspect difficult to
reach areas but MUST NOT be used for purposes not permitted by law (medical, human,
animal, etc.)
The videoscope through new optical and electronic technologies allows the inspection of areas
which are normally difficult to reach, making it easier to diagnose problems with mechanical
parts.
The product is equipped with a 3.5" colour LCD display which is useful for showing clear and
well defined images. The camera is equipped with LED lights that also allow holes or enclosed
parts with no light source to be inspected. It is possible to install on the head of the
equipment several accessories that make it flexible during use:
The magnetic accessory is used to attract small objects.
The mirror is used in order to gain a 90° view.
The hook is used for attaching objects.
Handling Precautions
The probe is flexible to allow work to be performed in difficult to reach areas. Please DO
NOT bend it beyond its limits, or force it (usually the bending radius is 5 cm) in order to
avoid causing permanent damage to the probe.
The display should NEVER be put in contact with liquid and must be kept away from any
splashes. Do not touch the display with acids because it would ruin the plastic protection.
Avoid immersion or contact with corrosive substances, places with the presence of oil or
objects with high temperatures.
