2.0 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
ITI Non-Conductive Videoscope Kit includes:
(1) ITI Model 178708 Ø8mm Non-Conductive Videoscope
(1) ITI Model 178310 V5 LE Video Case
(2) Battery Pack P/N 122826
(1) Battery Charger P/N 122727
(1) Power Supply P/N 550-072
(1) Receiver (Optional) P/N 122721
(1) Head Up Display (Optional) P/N 122293
(1) ½” Dekoron Hose P/N 914-010
(1) Protective Carrying Case & Foam
ITI Series 178708 Videoscopes are long, small diameter, flexible tubes containing a high resolution color
camera chip with lenses at the distal tip. The chip camera carries video signals by wires that terminate in a
multi-pin connection extending from the operation handle. The flexible tube also contains:
1) 4-way articulation wires enabling distal tip movement.
2) Fiber optics for illumination.
The flexible tube is composed of an internal coil for crush resistance, braided wall reinforcement for torsional
strength, and a plastic external layer as a flexible and environmental resistance seal. Videoscope models also
employ a tungsten metal exterior braid for durability in sharp edged and abrasive environments. Other models
use only non-conductive external materials to prevent shorting of electrical equipment being viewed.
Always consult this manual and ITI representatives before employing this
product in a high electrical powered application to prevent injury or death.
Videoscopes are normally used to view or inspect into inaccessible or hazardous environments when only
limited access is available. The articulation control enables the operator to move the tip around for general
observation and/or inspection.
The Videoscope is connected to the V5 LE Videoscope System. The V5 LE Videoscope System contains the
controls to operate the Videoscope’s camera (see Figure 1).

3.0 SYSTEM SETUP
CAUTION: Never attach or remove the Videoscope portion of the V5 LE System from the Video
Case control portion when powered (ON) as the camera system will be damaged. The system must
always be shut off and preferably removed from Mains power connection, prior to setup or
disassembly.
NOTICE: Pressing the two latches found on the Videoscope’s switchable connector disconnects the
power to the CCU. This acts as a safety feature to protect the camera in case of accidentally
unplugging the connector from the video case while the main power is ON. If the latches are pressed
while the Videoscope is ON then no video image is displayed. If the latches are released then a
corrupt video image is displayed. Power cycle the DVR to return to normal operation.

1. Connect the Videoscope control cable video connector into the Main Videoscope Input connector
located on side of V5 LE Videoscope System shown in Fig. 2 above.
2. Connect the second connector, Videoscope control cable Light Input, into Light Source to be used.
White light source has a knob for dimming the light intensity, while each of the IR/Blue light sources has
an illumination attenuation lever to shutter down the light intensity (Fig. 2 & 3). Adjust as needed.
3. If the system will use the internal DC Battery Pack for power, the AC/DC switch on the back of the video
case shown in Fig. 4 must be set to DC position. See Basic Operations section for operation instructions.
4. If AC power is to be used, please connect the AC power supply (included in the kit) to the system’s AC
input located on the rear panel, see Fig. 4. Ensure that the AC power cord is connected firmly to the AC
inlet of the AC power supply. Next, plug the AC power cord securely into the power outlet and make
sure that the AC/DC switch is set to AC position. See Basic Operations section for operation
instructions.
FIG.4: REAR PANEL
CAUTION: Reference the power input configuration tag located on the rear panel. Failure to use a
proper cord and voltage supply could result in property damage, personal injury or system
malfunction.
CAUTION: Inspect the power cord before use. Using a damaged power cord may result in electric
shock.
CAUTION: The power supply included in the kit is not water proof. Do not use it in wet conditions
where the risk of producing electric shocks increases.

4.0 VIDEOSCOPE
4.1 FOCUS
The objective lens in the Videoscope is fixed and cannot be adjusted. An object will be in focus if it is between
1.0 inch and infinity.
4.2 ARTICULATION
CAUTION: Do not attempt to articulate Videoscope in the coiled state, catastrophic failure to the
articulation system will occur from added stresses placed on the system. The working length of the
instrument should be in the elongated state at-all-times when articulating the instrument.
The Videoscope has four-way articulation (up, down, left and right). The knobs on the handpiece control the
articulation, see Fig. 5. Rotate one knob to articulate up/down, and rotate the second knob to articulate left/right.
The Videoscope articulation system is considered at its “neutral position” when the distal end is lying in line with
the working length. When neutral, the neutral dots on the Articulation Knobs should be in line with each other
and the white neutral indicator line on the rear body housing. The scope should always be returned to this
position prior to withdrawal from area being viewed.
FIG. 5: VIDEOSCOPE HANDLE FEATURES
4.3 ARTICULATION LOCKS
Once an object has been acquired in the field of view, line of sight may be maintained by using articulation
locks. Locks are oval rocking levers located to the side of knobs. Each knob has its own color-coded lock to
switch on or off.
When “ON”, the ratchet style locking system engages, while the “OFF” position allows Videoscope to articulate
freely. The ratchet system holds the line of sight. It can also be overpowered by turning the knob to the next
locking position. The operator will hear an audible click as the knob is advanced from position to position. This
is the ratchet mechanism at work.
CAUTION: Always unlock and straighten Videoscope before withdrawal. Failure to do so may result
in catastrophic failure. Scope is straight when the knobs are returned to their neutral position.
