We congratulate you on buying your iRis DVR 360° Industrial Videoscope, in the following just named iRis.
It unites Light Source, TFT Display plus Image Storage and Video Recording Device.
The diversity of inspection objects, materials and lightning conditions often makes it difficult to get
high-quality images. It is easy to adjust the iRis to your application to receive optimal inspection images
even in extreme situations.
Always keep the Operation Manual with the iRis. It contains all information for safe and efficient operation.
However, should you have further questions, feel free to contact our Service Team.

Read the Operation Manual carefully before
using the iRis.
Caution! The iRis has to be employed by
skilled and qualified personnel appropriate
to the application. The iRis is designed for
a diversified field of applications in Industry,
Building and Science. Only use the iRis as
intended.
Caution! Never use the iRis in running
machines.
Caution! The iTool has not to be used in
specially designated or prohibited areas
(e.g. Explosion Prevention).
Electric Shock! No unauthorised opening
of the casing. There is high danger of electric
shock due to parts being under voltage. For
higher abrasion resistance the flexible and
bendable probe is sheathed with tungsten.
This can lead to electric shock at contact with
live parts. Therefore the iRis is never to be
used in or at objects under tension.
Caution! Never look directly into the light
emitting part of the iRis. It can cause injuries
of eyes. Always switch off the Light Source
before changing, controlling or cleaning the
objective or the distal end of the Videoscope.
Caution! Use the iRis in dry environments
only. According IP53 the housing is protected
against splash water. The housing if the iRis
is never to be immerged in water or cleaned
directly under running water.
Caution! Using mains adapter without earth
conducter and without galvanic isolation can
lead to a tungsten braid being under electric
tension. Therefore only use mains supplies
delivered with the iRis.
Warning Notices and Precautions

Caution! If the objective is dirty the distal
end may heathen up. This can lead to igniti-
on of highly combustible materials. Further-
more it can lead to burns at direct contact.
Regular cleaning should be made.
Caution! When inspecting hot objects the
probe may heat up according ambient tem-
perature. Avoid direct contact to the probe
after such applications – High risk of burns.
Do not throw battery into fire.
Do not recharge defect battery, but replace
it immediately.
The iRis is an electric device and must not
be disposed in domestic waste. Pursuant to
European Directive 2002/96/EG on waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
and its transposition to national law used up
power tools have to be collected separately
and returned to environmentally compatible
recycling.
Recycling. Withdrawal of batteries pur-
suant to the Battery Policy: According to
the German Battery Policy (BattV) we are
obliged to inform you about the rules and
liabilities for disposal and withdrawal of used
batteries and accumulators. According to §7
German Battery Policy the end-user is obli-
ged to return used batteries and accumula-
tors. Contaminant-laden batteries and accu-
mulators are marked with a crossed dustbin
with the chemical symbol of the contained
heavy metal under it (Cd for cadmium, Hg
for mercury, Pb for lead). Batteries and ac-
cumulators must not be disposed in dome-
stic waste and can be handed free of charge
to any designated collection and withdrawal
point. Of course batteries and accumulators
you got from IT Concepts can be handed or
sent to us.

possible and don’t result in seizing. The
sheathing of the insertion tube is made of
tungsten netting and particular increases
the durability of the flexible probe. The
