Wi-Fi Endoscope

• Item No. 2108950 (BSK-2035)
• Item No. 2109094 (BSK-2100)

Intended use

The product is suitable for optical troubleshooting or inspection of pipe systems as well as powered-down (voltage-free) systems and facilities. The water resistance only applies to contact with liquids (no acids or alkaline solutions). It is forbidden to use the product on people and animals and in potentially explosive environments. The camera lens and body have an ingress protection rating of IP67. They are protected against dust and submersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. It is recommended to use the included lens sealing cap for increased protection against water ingress. Do not get the dimmer, USB-A connector, or Wi-Fi box wet. There is a water level sticker on the cable (between the camera body and the dimmer) which indicates where the IP protection starts and stops.
