and imager head are waterproof to a
depth of 10' (3 m). Greater depths may
cause leakage into the cable and im-
ager and cause electric shock or dam-
age the equipment. The handheld dis-
play unit is water resistant (IP65) but
should not be submerged in water.
• Determine if any chemicals are pres-
ent, especially in the case of drains. It is
important to understand the specific
safety measures required to work a -
round any chemicals present. Contact
the chemical manufacturer for required
information. Chemicals may damage or
degrade the inspection camera.
• Determine the temperature of the area
and items in the area. The working
temperature of the inspection camera is
between 32 to 130°F (0 to 55°C). Use
in areas outside of this range or contact
with hotter or colder items could cause
camera damage.
• Determine if any moving parts are pres-
ent in the area to be inspected. If so,
these parts must be deactivated to pre-
vent movement during inspection to
reduce the risk of entanglement. Use
appropriate lock out procedures to pre-
vent the parts from moving during the
inspection.
