Product Usage Instructions

1. Connect the HDV700 VideoScope to the reel and switch power off before making connections.
2. To connect the probe, align the white dot on the probe connector with the white dot on the HDV700 connector and push the probe into the HDV700 cavity until it seats firmly. Tighten the collar nut to secure the connection.
3. To uncoil the probe, loosen the wheel stopper and after uncoiling the desired length, fasten the wheel stopper. When recoiling the probe, carefully coil it back onto the wheel horizontally and affix the camera head on the camera head stopper. Ensure that the wheel stopper is secured.
4. The brush accessory can be attached by positioning the mounting ring so that it aligns with the screw holes.

Introduction

Connect the Probe

The steps below explain how to safely connect the HDV700 Video- Scope with the probe. Always switch the HDV700 power off when making connections.

• Attach the HDV700 to the reel.
• Connect the probe to the HDV700 by first aligning the white dot on the probe connector with the white dot on the HDV700 connector and then pushing the probe into the HDV700 cavity until it seats firmly.
• Tighten the collar nut to secure the connection. Do not overtighten.

Uncoiling the Probe

• Loosen the wheel stopper.
• Uncoil the probe horizontally from the camera head stopper. Do not pull probe up over a 45° angle.
• After uncoiling the desired probe length, fasten the wheel stopper

Recoiling the Probe

• Carefully coil the probe back onto the wheel horizontally.
• After coiling the probe onto the wheel, affix the camera head on the camera head stopper.
• Ensure that the wheel stopper is secured.

Brush Accessory

The probe includes a brush accessory that assists the probe as it moves through the pipe under inspection. The brush can clear debris that may impede the probe. The brush diameter is 4 in. (100 mm).

To attach the brush, follow the instructions below.

• Position the mounting ring so that it aligns with the screw holes.
• Tighten the screws

Distance Gauge

The electronic gauge measures and displays the distance that the probe travels into the inspection area. The gauge tracks forward and reverse movement

1. Backlit digital display shows probe travel distance
2. Power/Reset button. Press for 3 seconds to switch ON or OFF. Short press to reset/zero the display
3. Unit of measure button (meters and feet)
4. Display backlight button
5. Battery compartment cover
6. Battery compartment screw
7. Battery status
8. Unit of distance measure (meters)
9. Unit of distance measure (feet)

Powering the Distance Gauge
The distance gauge is switched ON or OFF by pressing the power button (2) for three seconds. After one hour, the gauge will automatically switch off, to conserve battery energy. The battery status icon (7) shows the current battery power. To replace the batteries, follow the steps below:

1. Switch the meter off by pressing the power button (2) for three seconds.
2. Remove the battery compartment screw (6).
3. Remove the compartment cover (5).
4. Remove the old batteries and dispose of them responsibly.
5. Install the two new AAA batteries, observing correct polarity.
6. Close the compartment and secure it with the compartment screw.

Change the Measurement Units
The display shows the probe travel distance in meters (m) and feet (ft), short press the units button (3) to toggle the displayed units.

Reset (Zero) the Distance Gauge Display
With the gauge powered, short press the power/reset button (2) to reset the display to zero. For the best accuracy, zero the display at the point of probe entry into the inspection area. If you wish to set a reference point, other than the starting point, press the reset button at any time during an inspection. Now you can monitor the distance travelled from this new reference point.

Distance Gauge Backlight
Short press the backlight button (4) to switch the display backlight ON or OFF. The backlight will automatically switch OFF after 10 seconds to conserve battery energy.

Measurement Considerations

• Ensure that the camera lens cap is removed before inserting the probe into the pipe.
• Store the lens cap safely while it is removed.
• For protection, attach the lens cap when storing the camera.
• After connecting the probe to the HDV700, verify that a clear camera image is displayed. If not, or if the image is flickering or otherwise compromised, remove the probe and reattach it.
• Turn the probe wheel slowly when moving the probe through a pipe. Do not force the wheel if resistance is detected. Check the nature of the resistance and clear as necessary before continuing.
• Use the distance gauge to keep track of the probe travel distance. Zero the display when you first insert the probe into the pipe for best accuracy.
• Take still images and video, adjust display parameters, and more from the HDV700 touch screen (refer to the HDV700 user manual).
• When the inspection is complete, carefully recoil the probe slowly onto the storage wheel

Cleaning
Clean the probe with a damp cloth and mild detergent as necessary. Clean the camera, mirror, and worklight lenses, using a high quality lens cleaning fluid and a lint-free swab
