Assembly

Before any work on the inspection camera itself (e.g. assembling, maintenance, etc.) as well as when transporting and storing, remove the battery from the inspection camera.

Battery Charging

▶ Use only the battery chargers listed on the graphics page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery used in your inspection camera.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.

The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.

The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control which allows charging only within a temperature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved in this manner.

Battery Charge-control Indication

When the inspection camera is switched on, the charge condition of the battery is indicated on the display 5:

Indication Capacity
	>1/2
	<1/2
	Reserve

Removing the Battery

To remove the battery 10, press the battery unlocking buttons 11 and pull the battery toward the rear out of the inspection camera. Do not exert any force when doing this.

Mounting the Camera Cable (see figure A)

For operation of the inspection camera, the camera cable 6 must be mounted to the hand unit 1.

Insert the camera cable 6 into the camera connection 14 in such a manner that the pin of the camera cable engages into the opening of the camera connection as shown in the figure. Slide the socket sleeve 13 on the camera connection over the camera cable and hand-tighten in clockwise direction.

To remove the camera cable 6, unscrew socket sleeve 13 in anticlockwise direction and pull the camera cable off.

Mounting the Camera Cable Extension (Accessory)

To mount a camera cable extension 12, the mounted camera cable 6 must be removed.

Then, mount the extension 12 onto camera connection 14 as described under "Mounting the Camera Cable" and tighten.

If required, further extensions can be mounted in the same manner. However, the image quality decreases when exceeding a total length approx. 10 m (incl. camera cable).

Screw the camera cable 6 onto the last extension 12 as described under "Mounting the Camera Cable".

▶ Check if the camera cable and the extension are firmly connected. The camera cable and the extension are only water-tight when firmly connected. Untight connections increase the risk of an electric shock or damage to the inspection camera.

Mounting the Mirror, Magnet or Hook (see figure B)

The mirror 17, the magnet 15 and the hook 16 can be mounted to the camera head 7 as auxiliary aids.

Slide one of the three auxiliary aids to the stop onto the recess on the camera head 7 as shown in the figure.

Note: The magnet 15 and the hook 16 are only suitable for moving and removing loose, small and light objects. Applying too much tension can damage the inspection camera or the auxiliary aid.

Connecting the External Image Reproduction (see figure C)

The image signal of the inspection camera can be transferred to an external monitor, which can represent a standard NTSC video signal.

Insert the black plug of the supplied video cable 19 into the video output socket 18 of the inspection camera. Connect the video cable to an appropriate monitor.

Read and observe the and operating instructions of the external monitor.

Operation

▶ Protect the hand unit 1 and the battery 10 against moisture and direct sunlight. Camera cable, camera head and extension are water-tight to a depth of approx. 10 m. However, the hand unit and the battery are not protected against water; in case of contact with water, the risk of electric shock or damage is given.
▶ Do not subject the inspection camera to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the inspection camera to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation.
▶ Do not use the inspection camera when the lens on the camera head 7 is misty or fogged-up. Do not switch the inspection camera on until after the moisture has evaporated. Otherwise, the inspection camera can become damaged.

Initial Operation

Inserting the Battery

▶ Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the voltage listed on the nameplate of your inspection camera. Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.

Note: Using batteries not suitable for your inspection camera can lead to malfunctions or damage the inspection camera.

Insert the charged battery 10 into the handle until it can be felt to engage and faces flush against the handle.

Switching On and Off

To switch on the inspection camera, press the On/Off button 3. The display 5 shows the image of the camera head 7.

To switch off the inspection camera, press the On/Off button 3 again.

When no button on the inspection camera is pressed for approx. 20 minutes, it automatically switches off to save the batteries.

Regulating the Illumination Light in the Camera Head

To brighten the camera image on display 5, the illumination light 9 in the camera head can be switched on and its brightness can be regulated.

To switch on the camera's illumination light 9 and increase its brightness, press button "+" 2 until the desired brightness is reached.

▶ Do not stare into the illumination light 9 and do not direct it at other persons. The brightness of the light can blind the eyes.

To reduce the brightness and switch off the camera light 9, press button “-” 4 until the desired brightness is reached or the light is switched off.

Working Advice

Check the area that you want to inspect and pay particular attention to obstructions or hazard areas.

Bend the camera cable 6 in such a manner that the camera head can be easily inserted into the area subject to the inspection. Carefully guide the camera cable in.

Pure geometric crosshair symbols without any text or labels

16 | English

Adjust the brightness of the illumination light 9 so that the image can be seen well. For heavily reflecting objects, as an example, less light will provide a better image.

When objects to be inspected are represented unsharp, reduce or increase the distance between camera head 7 and object.

If required, bend the camera cable 6 in such a manner that the camera image is shown upright on display 5.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery

Protect the battery against moisture and water. Store the battery only within a temperature range between 0 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in the car in summer.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Do not immerse the hand unit 1 into water or other fluids.

Keep the inspection camera clean at all times. Clean the inspection camera and all auxiliary aids particularly thorough after having worked in areas with substances that are hazardous to one's health.

Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.
