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 VS80
The steps below explain how to safely connect the probe to the
VS80 monitor. Always switch the VS80 power off before connecting
the probe.
1. Align the white dot on the probe connector with the white dot on
the VS80 monitor connector.
2. Plug the probe into the monitor unit, ensuring proper alignment
and full insertion.
3. Tighten the collar nut to secure the connection. Do not
overtighten.

Camera Accessories
The kit includes a side view mirror and two centring tools (Ø13 and
Ø20 mm), shown above, left to right. The mirror tool provides a side
view of the inspection area, and the centring tools maintain a
straight trajectory for the probe in a variety of pipe sizes.
Side View 70° Mirror Accessory
1. 70° mirror
2. Align the probe worklight with the opening on the accessory
3. Threaded probe connection
Note that the mirror’s protective film must be removed before use.
Clean the mirror with a lint-free swab and good quality lens cleaner.
Remove dust and moisture droplets with compressed air when
necessary.
Attach the accessory as shown in the illustration below.

Distance Gauge
The backlit electronic gauge (3) measures and displays the dis-
tance the probe travels into the inspection area in meters and feet.
The gauge tracks forward and reverse movement.
Powering the Distance Gauge
The distance gauge is switched ON or OFF by pressing the power
button (7) for three seconds. After one hour, the gauge will auto-
matically switch off, to conserve battery energy.
The battery status icon (12) shows the current battery power. To re-
place the batteries, follow the steps below:
1. Switch the meter off by pressing the power button (7) for three
seconds.
2. Loosen and remove the battery compartment screw (9).
3. Remove the compartment cover (8).
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 (11) to toggle the displayed units.

Reset (Zero) the Distance Gauge Display
With the gauge powered, short press the power/reset button (7) to
reset the display to zero.
For the best distance accuracy, zero the display at the point of
probe insertion 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 (10) 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 VS80, verify that a clear cam-
era image is displayed. If not, or if the image is flickering or other-
wise compromised, remove the probe and reattach it. Contact
FLIR support for assistance if issues persist.
• Turn the probe wheel (4) 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 (3) 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 the display parameters, and
learn of the other features available on the VS80 as described in
the VS80 manual.
• When the inspection is complete, carefully recoil the probe
slowly onto the storage wheel. Clean with a damp cloth and mild
detergent as necessary. Use a high quality lens cleaning fluid
and a lint-free swab to clean the camera, mirror, and worklight
lenses.
