be maintained when the locating transmitter is
switched on and when the user is temporarily or

5.1 Activating the bat-
tery
If the camera system cannot be switched on dur-
ing initial operation, you have two options for acti-
vating the battery:
•Connect the monitor to the mains via the pow-
er supply unit. Switch on the camera system.
Afterwards, the camera can also be switched on
without being connected to the power supply.
or
•Carry out a reset 1, see chapter 15.1.
5.2 Attaching the
camera head
•Open the cover of the camera head opening
(Fig. 5, part 4).
•Carefully pull the rod out of the case.
•If it is not already connected to the rod, con-
nect the camera head to the rod as follows:
Insert the five-pin connector of the camera rod
into the socket of the camera head.
Then screw together the threaded parts of the
camera head and camera rod.
CAUTION!
The connection is only waterproof when the con-
nectors are joined together properly.
5.3 Fixing the Guid-
ance Ball
Fig. 9: Guidance ball, comes with
the VIS 700
A Guidance Ball Ø 30 mm comes with the Wöhler
VIS 700. Fix the Guidance Ball to the flex part of
the camera push rod, to improve the arc mobility of
rod and camera head.
•Use the Guidance Ball for the inspection of
pipes Ø 75 mm and larger.
Note!
In pipes Ø 75 mm and larger you can push the rod
with the guidance ball much easier. Do not use the
Guidance Ball for the inspection of smaller pipes.
