SYSTEM MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The following maintenance procedures are recommended for all Insight-Vision Digital
Xpress Systems. Standard warranty policy dictates that components and accessories subject
to wear and tear are not covered under the One (1) year warranty. Therefore we are
strongly recommending that all systems be maintained according to the following
procedures. Please be advised that Insight-Vision will not allow warranty coverage for these
items if these procedures are not followed.
Xpress D2 Command Module:
The D2 CM incorporates a USB port and LAN Network port for recording options. These
ports have no moving parts or recording heads so they do not require a cleaning device.
However, if water, dirt or dust become present in these connectors due to extreme conditions
in the field, owners/operators will be responsible for the cleaning of these connector/port
areas using a Q-tip or other non-abrasive cleaning tool to remove the debris before inserting a
memory stick or network connector.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE INVALIDATES ANY WARRANTY
CLAIM AGAINST INSIGHT VISION FOR THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE
RECORDING DEVICE AND WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL NOT BE GRANTED.
O-Rings: O-rings are critical to insure the watertight integrity of the camera and connection
areas. O-rings are subject to wear and tear and can also suffer failure due to age and other
factors. They should be inspected regularly and replaced whenever needed.
When O-rings are working properly, a small amount of water and sometimes fine particles of
grit will build up behind them. Any time the camera or sonde connection is taken apart and
exposed, there exists the risk of grit wearing down or possibly even tearing the o-ring. It is
also possible for water to then enter the connection area once exposed. All connections, once
opened or exposed, MUST be thoroughly cleaned and dried before re-connecting. We
recommend using an old toothbrush or other soft bristled brush to clean the o-ring areas and
remove the grit or fine debris. Then, completely dry the area around male and female
connector and the o-ring before re-connecting.
Camera Head: All Insight Vision camera heads (CV, CVSL and CVmicro) are covered for
one (1) year under the standard warranty against all defects in workmanship. These cameras
are all sealed and pressurized with nitrogen to prevent water ingress. Warranty coverage will
apply for any and all internal failures to the camera head unless external damage is evident.

This would include a broken sapphire lens window and any deformation to the stainless steel
metal housing of the camera head.
Insight-Vision has provided a small and large protective skid that MUST be used at all times.
These skids are designed to aid in the centering of the camera head and have the added
benefit of helping to protect the camera head from extreme wear. Failure to use the provided
skids will result in direct wear to the front metal work area of the camera, resulting in the
eventual wearing down of the metal work. This wear will result in a possible breach that will
allow water to ingress into the camera head. This type of wear will not be covered under
warranty.
Push Rod: Insight Vision push rod terminations are covered for one (1) year under warranty.
This warranty policy covers workmanship on the termination connection ONLY and does not
cover push rod breakage or kinks in other parts of the rod.
