The K 12170 is a high performance industrial endoscope with a high resolution
five-inch colour LCD display. This is a fully-featured instrument, ergonomically
designed so that the main function buttons can be controlled with one hand. The
extremely flexible, semi-rigid camera probe is 1 metre long an d just 3.9mm in
diameter. The inspection camera has numerous applications from inspecting
engines and engine components, inspecting cables or pipes in or behind walls,
to locating lost keys, etc, in drains. For example, the very narrow diameter of the
camera probe makes it ideal for inspecting combustion chambers in diesel-
engined vehicles using the glow plug aperture for access. Read the part number of
a component buried in the engine-bay without dismantling.
The instrument is fitted with a 32 GB Micro SD card which enables still images
and video recordings to be saved. Sound is also recorded. The still image or video
files can be transferred to a PC or laptop via the supplied USB lead or by removing
the Micro SD card from the inspection camera and connecting to the PC via a
card reader.
The instrument features a four-LED torch and the button controls are back-lit. The
tip of the camera probe features six LEDs with three brightness settings for use in
dark environments.
The internal battery is charged via the USB lead (supplied); plug the lead into a
suitable USB port on a PC or 5V USB mains adaptor (not supplied).
