System Overview
The rugged and dependable Everest Mentor Visual iQ (MViQ) system is an advanced flexible video borescope used for Remote Visual Inspection (RVI).
Working through access passages, the MViQ system delivers high-resolution images of internal details of turbine engines, airframes, automotive engines,
piping, vessels, wind- turbine gear boxes, underwater structures, etc.
With TrueSight™, MViQ delivers HD visuals, a high-intensity light source, and superior visual processing, for clearer, sharper videos and still images right
on your device. The probe’s fiberoptic bundle illuminates the inspection area with light generated by an advanced Light Engine in the probe. At the end
of the probe, a miniature camera assembly converts the image into an electronic image, and sends it back through the probe. The system displays
the image on the handset. No focusing is required, because the MViQ system contains a fixed-focus optical system with a large depth of field.
Measurement capabilities (standard with the MViQ Analyze configuration) allow your system to analyze and measure indications and features. Real3D™
provides a fully surfaced point cloud of the target surface to view, manipulate and optimize measurement cursor locations.
The MViQ system is compatible with USB thumb drives, USB keyboards, USB portable drives, and most other USB-based storage devices.
With our QuickChange™ interchangeable probes, you can quickly reconfigure the system for maximum productivity.
Available in three versions; Inspect, Touch, and Analyze configurations. MViQ is able to meet diverse inspection needs across industries. Refer to the
guide on the following page to determine the right one for your application.

About the Battery
The MViQ is powered by a 10.8 V (nominal), 73 Wh, 6.8 Ah Lithium Ion battery.
Installing the Battery
Insert the battery into the handset. The battery is installed properly when
the latching mechanism is engaged.
Caution—Do not force the battery (1) into the handset (2), as damage
may occur. The battery is keyed and may only be installed in the proper
orientation.
Removing the Battery
Press battery release button (3) to release the battery.
Caution—Do not remove the battery while the system is operating.
Battery Charge Level
Check the battery charge by pressing the battery symbol (4) on the front
of the battery. Each light (5) represents approximately 20% of the battery
charge capacity.
Charging the Battery
Connect the DC output of the battery charger into the MViQ battery (6) and
then plug the included AC to DC power adaptor into a suitable AC power
source. The LED battery lights will illuminate according to the amount of
charge attained. The system may operate while charging.
Note: The battery may be charged while connected to an operating MViQ
or while disconnected from the iQ.
Note: When the battery is fully charged, the LED battery lights will turn off.
Note: Battery run time approximately equals battery charge time; therefore,
a two hour battery will take approximately two hours to charge. Charging
time will be longer if the battery is connected to an operating MViQ system
while charging.
Note: All batteries are shipped with a partial charge. Batteries should be
fully charged prior to use.
Battery Storage
Caution - Do not store an uncharged battery as it may become unusable!
The battery’s protective circuitry will not allow charging below a certain
minimum voltage threshold in order to prevent thermal runaway.
Please refer to Appendix Q for more information on Battery safety and
maintenance.

15
Supplying Power to the MViQ
The MViQ is powered by a 10.8 V (nominal), 73 Wh, 6.8 Ah Lithium Ion battery.
The battery is charged by connecting the power adaptor to the battery, then
connecting the supplied AC-to-DC power adaptor to a suitable (100-240
VAC, 50-60 Hz, <1.5 A rms) AC power source. The power adaptor delivers to
the battery 18 Volts at 3.34 Amps.
Note:When powering a system with an AC power source, connect the power
plug to a properly grounded source for reliable touchscreen operation.
Powering the MViQ On and Off
System Power On
Press and hold until the unit turns on. The buttons and Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) will light and begin the power-up sequence. After
approximately 1 minute, the system screen will display live video and on-

16
Changing Probes and OTA's
Attaching and Removing the Probe
1– Insert the pin at the base of the handset into the mating groove at the bottom
of the probe.
2– Rotate the probe towards the back of the handset, applying enough pressure
for the latching mechanism to “click.”
To remove the probe from the handset:
3– Press this latching-mechanic's release button to separate the probe and handset.
Changing the Optical Tip
OTA's are threaded onto the probe with a double set of threads to prevent them
from falling into the inspection area. Each optical tip provides a unique depth of
field, field of view, and direction of view. For a list of available OTA's, see Appendix B
– OTA Table.
Caution—Use only finger pressure to remove or attach OTA's. Using force
(including pliers or other tools) might damage the bending neck. Take care not
to cross the threads. To reduce cross-threading risk: When installing a tip by
hand (6.1mm & 8.4mm) or with an installation tool (4mm), rotate the tip counter
clockwise to level the threads before rotating clockwise to thread the tip on the
camera. Reverse the leveling process when removing OTA's.
To Remove an Optical Tip: Support the bending neck and head of the probe with
one hand, and with the other gently turn the optical tip counterclockwise (be sure to
use a tip tool when removing 4.0 mm OTA's), Turn until the tip spins freely, indicating
that it has cleared the first set of threads. Gently pull the tip away from probe and
continue turning counterclockwise, engaging the second set of threads. Turn until
you can remove it.
To Attach an Optical Tip: Verify that the optical tip and camera head threads are
clean, then grasp the head of the probe with one hand, and with the other gently
turn the tip clockwise. Turn until it spins freely, indicating that it has cleared the first
set of threads. Gently push the tip in, then turn clockwise again, engaging the second
set of threads. Turn until finger tight.
Caution—Do not over-tighten OTA's. Pull on the tip gently to verify that it
is securely attached. If the second set of threads does not engage, turn the tip
slightly in a counterclockwise direction to allow the threads to levelize.
Note: Measurement OTA's must be tightened firmly to ensure accuracy.

translations available in the iQ. Once selected, the File Manager screen
allows you to navigate to the modified translation file.
Other System Settings
13 – Setting Power Management to ON conserves battery power by putting
the MViQ into sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. When in sleep mode,
in which only the hard keys remain lit, touching any key or the joystick returns
the iQ to a fully powered state.
Steering Sensitivity Settings
14 – The user can select from two probe steering modes: Steer or Steer-and-
Stay™. Each mode has its own sensitivity adjustment. For both modes, the
factory default sensitivity corresponds to the slider set in the exact middle
of the adjustment range (click here to learn about the differences between
these modes).
Note: The factory default setting provides good steering response for most
inspections. The sensitivity can be adjusted separately for each mode to
optimize the steering for specific inspections or adjust for the preferences
of the inspector. Once adjusted, a sensitivity setting is preserved even when
the system is powered off.
Steer sensitivity: It is recommended that this adjustment be kept at factory
default for most inspections. In this steering mode, the adjustment range
changes the sensitivity of the joystick according to the guidelines below, and
has no effect on steering speed. Full range of camera motion is available
at all sensitivity settings.
Slider at Minimum: Provides more precise steering control when the desired
target is within +/- 45 degrees from the camera at its home position. For
inspections where the areas of interest are primarily concentrated near the
camera's home position this is a useful slider setting.
Slider at middle / factory default: Best for most general inspections.
Provides equal joystick sensitivity for the entire camera range of motion.
Slider at maximum: Provides more precise steering control when the
desired target is located from 45-180 degrees from the camera at its home
position. For inspections where the areas of interest are primarily looking
sideways or even backwards, this is a useful slider setting.
Steer-and-Stay sensitivity: In this steering mode, the speed of camera
motion is controlled by how far off center the joystick is pushed. The
maximum camera speed occurs when the joystick is pushed fully in any
direction. This sensitivity slider adjusts the maximum speed for camera
motion in Steer-and-Stay™ mode.
Slider at Minimum: This reduces the maximum steering speed to roughly
1/2 of factory default. Reducing maximum steering speed may be useful
for inspections using a close focus tip, where the camera is positioned very
close to the surface being inspected, or if steering while using significant
amounts of digital zoom. In these cases, slowing the camera motion down
will provide more precise fine camera control.
Slider at middle / factory default: This is the factory default speed, and is
a good starting point for most inspections.
Slider at maximum: This increases the maximum steering speed. For
systems running OS 3.18 or older, this setting increases maximum steering
speed to approximately 1.3x compared with the factory default. For systems
running OS 3.20 or newer, this setting doubles the maximum steering speed
compared to factory default. Increasing maximum steering speed may
be useful for experienced inspectors, who can use the faster steering to
complete an inspection more quickly.
Note: While using the slider with Steer & Stay or Steer, the effect of the slider
setting can be seen in realtime by moving the camera with the joystick.
