Tool Inspection
WARNING
Daily before use, inspect your inspec-
tion camera and correct any problems
to reduce the risk of serious injury from
electric shock and other causes and
prevent tool damage.
1. Make sure the unit is OFF.
2. Remove the battery and inspect it for
signs of damage. Do not use the
microEXPLORER inspection camera if
the battery is damaged in any way.
3. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the
equipment, especially the handles and
controls. This helps prevent the tool from
slipping from your grip.
4. Inspect the camera head lens for conden-
sation. To avoid damaging the unit, do not
use the camera if condensation forms
inside the lens. Let the water evaporate
before using again.
5. Inspect the full length of the cable for
cracks or damage. A damaged cable
could allow water to enter the unit and in-
crease the risk of electrical shock.
6. Check to make sure the connections be-
tween the handheld unit and imager
cable are tight. All connections must be
properly assembled for the cable to be
water resistant. Confirm unit is properly
assembled.
7. Check that the warning label is present,
firmly attached and readable. Do not op-
erate the microExplorer Digital inspec-
tion camera without the warning label.
