Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Lens and Cable
After each use, especially in dirty or wet environments, gently wipe the camera lens and the inspection cable with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the lens or cable material.
2. Waterproof Rating
The inspection cable and camera head are IP67 waterproof, meaning they can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, the main unit (display and controls) is NOT waterproof. Ensure the main unit remains dry at all times.
Figure 7: The IP67 waterproof rating ensures durability of the camera probe in wet conditions.
3. Storage
Store the borescope and its accessories in the provided handheld case when not in use. This protects the device from dust, impacts, and ensures all components are organized and readily available.
