Before the initial operation, this instructions
manual must be completely read and under-
stood by the user in order to prevent damage
and danger to life and property through the ope-
ration of the system (the device). The operation
of the device without the understanding of the
instructions manual is not allowed under any
circumstances. The device has been designed
exclusively for industrial applications to be used
exclusively by trained operators. It is absolutely
not suited for any medical or veterinary appli-
cation must never be operated by private users.
For a generally non-destructive operation of the
device, beside the safety of the personnel and
environment, an extensive knowledge of the de-
vice, the inspection technology, the safety in-
structions as well as the industrial field of
application are absolutely necessary!
The device must never be connected to electric
mains, if you have not understood this instruction
including safety warnings or even if you have not
understood individual sections or if you cannot
or do not wish to use the device in accordance
with the regulations.
viZaar®is not liable under any circumstances for
the consequences of misinterpretation or faulty
inspection results, which were achieved with the
device.

For compulsory attention:
Warning against risk of injury or
loss of life to humans
Warning against significant risk of
damage to device and plant
Warning against fatal electric shock
Warning against life-threatening
explosion risk
Warning against life-threatening
fire risk
Warning

Warning
www.vizaar.com
The device must never be opened by the user at any place other than the lamp shaft. Life-threatening
electric currents are used or generated in the device; in particular, the device must never be used with
the housing open. The device must never be used when there are audibly loose parts inside the device.
The device must never be operated in moist environment (e.g. during precipitation) nor must
the control device or the operating pendant be submerged in water – there is a risk to life due
to electric currents!
Before start-up, the device must be acclimatized according to the ambient temperature.
This is valid in particular for cooled devices, wherein condensate accumulation during warm-up
can lead to destruction and damage due to electric spark over.
Never operate the device under conditions which do not comply with the operating conditions
or storage conditions described in the instructions manual!
The device must be checked annually by the manufacturer or an authorized third party for compliance
with the electrical safety instructions obligatory at the usage site and conformance with the as-deli-
vered condition of the device. The device must not be connected to the electric supply mains or other-
wise operated after the ascertainment of a defect or any deviation from the as-delivered condition.
This is valid, in particular, if the device has tumbled or fallen down or was exposed to a liquid.
The device must never be operated in operating environments which are vulnerable to explosion
or fire risk. The device is not equipped with safety devices or acceptance for operation in environ-
ments vulnerable to explosion or fire risk. An impermissible employment in environments suscep-
tible to explosion or fire leads unavoidably to a device-induced life-threatening explosion and to a fire
in the plant. The operator is obliged to check the plant for substances vulnerable to explosion or fire
before every new start-up of the device.
:: Warning
Never allow the device to be operated without supervision.
For safety reasons, it is necessary to switch-off the machine during pauses.
Never operate the device in radioactively contaminated environment!
Never expose the probe to ionizing radiation of any type!
The device must be transported exclusively in the transport case conceived for it by the
manufacturer. The device and the corresponding accessories must be packed in the transport
case only according to the instructions at hand.
For increasing your own safety against electric shocks with risk of injury or loss of life, the device
must always be connected and operated via a residual current circuit breaker system or an isolating
transformer. This can in any case be a compulsory condition depending upon the operating environ-
ment. For this, consult your responsible safety in-charge or the accident protection measures in
force in your respective country.
The use of too long power extension cords is life-threatening and forbidden (max. 25 m in case of
a supply line made of copper 3 x 1.5 mm2). Hereby, a life-threatening loss of the protective function
of the upstream safety element is possible. At the same time, voltage differences of the earth po-
tential as compared to the displaced reference point of electric output (bridged by a too long exten-
sion cord) could cause dangerous electric currents on contact with the device housing or
impermissibly high equalizing currents at the probe. In case of uncertainties, consult your on-site
electrical expert.
Exclusively the viZaar®accessory articles or spare parts described in this instructions manual may be
used in connection with the device. Always consult and follow the national and international
operations and safety regulations, Norms or regulatory authority’s advice.

Warning
www.vizaar.com
The device can be connected to the public electric supply mains through a ‘IEC-plug lead’ included
in the delivery or a ‘IEC-plug lead’ which complies with the local socket standards. The system ac-
cepts faultlessly all power supplies known worldwide with alternate currents of 96 VAC to 246 VAC
at 46 to 60 Hz. For safe operation, the device needs a reliable potential earth (PE) connection. In case
of doubt, an expert or the manufacturer must be consulted. The minimum output supplied by the
power connection can be derived from the device specifications contained in the instructions.
:: Warning
When operating the device outside the permissible operating conditions or with destruction caused
by usage which deviates from the instructions, non-compliance with the operating conditions or
through the usage of non-original spare parts or accessories as well as through impermissible ope-
ning of the device, the guarantee obligation or the guarantee commitment by the supplier or manu-
facturer lapses, in principle.
All components of the device must never be used in or in the vicinity of apparatus or equipment,
which are partly or fully energized by electric current of any type (e.g. transformers, motors, gene-
rators, switchboards etc.). The metallic housing oaf the camera conducts electricity and dangerous
currents are transmitted during every contact or even short-circuits can be triggered in the plant.
While connecting to the car’s voltage transformer, the base unit should be connected to
protective earth and the car body, even when a grounding plug is available.
Never connect a triploar plug to a bipolar socket! Avoid any contact between INVIZ®/ MATRIX
(and all working equipment) and components carrying electrical charges.
The system must be earthed properly in case of an electrified application in relationship to the
ground. If impossible, connect the system to the application or the ground (depending on which one
the user needs to touch). The user needs to be isolated against the current path of the earthed path.
In case an exchange of the lamp becomes necessary, one must proceed according to the procedure
in the instructions!
Never handle the main cable without working gloves! Considerable risk of getting injured! At the
same time, protective glasses must always be worn while operating the system.
The device must never be operated with damaged main cable. There is a danger that liquids might
penetrate the cable and thereby impair the functioning permanently or might cause a life threate-
ning electric shock to the operator! Even the use of a slightly damaged main cable can quickly lead
to the total destruction of the device due to the electric conductors laying inside. The operation of a
damaged main cable is impermissible within the area of jurisdiction of the European Union, since the
regulations on emission of electromagnetic radiation can no longer be adhered to with safety.
Never bring the device in contact with corrosive substances of any kind (acid or alkali).
Risk of damage and injury while manipulating the main cable and camera head. Never bring the
device in contact with solvent containing liquids! Risk of damage!
Never insert the device in plant parts the contents of which are unknown!
Always ensure that the respectively inspected metallic pipeline systems conform exclusively to a
homogenous earthing potential; electrically insulated transition points (e.g. sealings, plastic line
sections) can exhibit different electric earth voltage potentials depending upon the plant, which could
build up very high electric currents with sparking and substance burn-out in case of bridging through
the metallic, electrically conducting probe. Kindly consult your on-site expert in advance.

2 Tips, questions and solutions :: 2.1 Tips for your operations with the INVIZ®MATRIX
2.1 Tips for your operations with the
INVIZ®MATRIX
2.1.1 After the initial start-up
After the initial startup of the INVIZ®system, the
following points may be noticed by you:
:: The image is out of focus. The focal range
was perhaps not set for current setting and
the observation of the environment. Use the
Remote Focus slide knob on your control
panel to get your system into focus.
:: The image appears slightly violet; the correct
image shooting under the influence of
daylight is not foreseen; the infra-red portion,
which is invisible to the human eye, is often
no longer filtered in endoscopic cameras for
reasons of light sensitivity, since an IR filter
is already integrated in the cold light sources.
This is no cause for worry.
2.1.2 General tips
In the following, we have collected a few general
tips, which can help you to economically and fast
achieve good inspection results. The points do not
concern your work safety,but exclusively serve
the purpose of communicating general technical
knowledge.
Before introducing the probe into a cavity or a
pipeline, it must always be ensured:
:: That the application is free of acids, alkali,
oils and solvents. All non ph-neutral liquid
media may destroy different parts of the probe.
:: That the application is not impurified with
liquids, the viscosity of which lies below that
of water (e.g. glysantine). In such case, a
suitable special camera head with sealed fix
focus optic is needed.
:: That no elements in the application can be
activated, e.g. remote control valves, turbine
rotors, agitators etc.
:: For achieving meaningful inspection results,
the application ought to be cleaned in
advance, as long as depositions need not be
documented. In case of unclean plants, the
optic or the light out of the camera is dirtied
fast.
:: The farther you insert a probe, the greater is
the danger that it might get stuck. In
principle, an endoscopic probe can be more
easily inserted than extracted, as far as
straight, narrow and steeples pipelines are
not being inspected. In perimeters (e.g.
heating pipes at apparatus and reactors) this
can lead to self-obstruction – similar to a
lasso. Do not lose your nerves in such a
case- there are often different methods of
disengaging the probe without opening the
plant or destroying the probe. The risk of
getting stuck on steps is increased with the
employment of centring tools. In principle,
never use force while releasing! The
manufacturer offers a foreign parts retrieving
service. In order to limit the long-time action
of unknown substances, the probe ought to
be cleaned after use.
:: Mount your equipment basically in such a
manner, that it stands absolutely securely.
Fundamentally, the probe does not possess
the constructive characteristics of stopping a
free fall of the control device without
breaking. Through an insecure mounting,
you are principally seriously endangering
persons, perhaps working on levels beneath
you. At the same time, strong jolts are
resented by a rotating arc lamp, besides
shortening its lifetime, possibly accompanied
by total failure.
