❗ ATTENTION! The probe may only be connected to the Wöhler VE 220, 320, 400 and 500 endoscopes.
❗ ATTENTION! Always connect the probe to the endoscope using the 1.5 m connection cable. This is included in the scope of delivery of the endoscope. Otherwise the connection socket of the probe may be damaged due to the mechanical load.

4 Design
The device consists of several key components:

- Probe handle: The ergonomic grip for holding and manipulating the probe.
- Rotary knob: Located on the probe handle, used to control the pan/tilt of the probe tip.
- Probe cable: A flexible cable connecting the probe tip to the handle, containing wires and possibly fluid channels.
- Probe tip with 6 LEDs: The camera head at the end of the probe, equipped with six light-emitting diodes for illumination.
5 Connecting the probe
NOTE! Mount the camera probe before switching on the Wöhler VE. If you connect the probe when the device is switched on, you will need to restart the Wöhler VE.
- To connect the probe to the monitor, insert the probe into the female connector ensuring the notch on the male connector is precisely aligned with the red dot on the female connector.
- Then tighten the gland nut finger-tight.
❗ ATTENTION! Always connect the probe to the endoscope using the 1.5 m connection cable. This is included in the scope of delivery of the endoscope. Otherwise the connection socket of the probe may be damaged due to the mechanical load.
