Overview

The CENTECH Digital Inspection Camera (Item 61839) is a handheld device designed for visual inspection in hard-to-reach areas. It features a flexible cable with an imager head equipped with adjustable LED lights, allowing users to view and inspect various environments on a built-in display screen or an external monitor.

Function Description:

The primary function of this device is to provide visual access to confined or obstructed spaces where direct line of sight is not possible. It is suitable for inspecting walls (after shutting off circuit breakers), pipes (after checking for electrical charges), engines (after turning off the automobile), and other areas that may require visual assessment for maintenance, troubleshooting, or general inspection. The imager head captures images that are displayed in real-time on the handheld unit's screen. The adjustable LED lights on the imager head illuminate the inspection area, and the brightness can be controlled by the user. The device also includes a "Flip Image" function to adjust the orientation of the displayed image, which is useful when navigating in complex spaces. Accessories such as a mirror, hook, and magnet can be attached to the imager head to enhance its functionality, allowing for tasks like retrieving small objects or viewing at different angles. The camera can also be connected to an external monitor via an RCA cable for larger display viewing.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Battery Type: 4 x AA 1.5V Alkaline (sold separately).
  • Display Screen: 2.4" TFT LCD (320 x 240 pixels).
  • Handheld Display Unit Operating Temperature: 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C).
  • Imager Head Diameter: 8.5mm (0.3").
  • Imager Head Lights: 4 x Adjustable LED.
  • Image Sensor: 1/6" VGA CMOS.
  • Imager Head Ingress Protection Rating: IP67 - Protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m. This means the imager head and cable are waterproof to a certain extent, but the handheld display unit is not waterproof.
  • Imager Head and Cable Operating Temperature: 14°F to 176°F (-10°C to 80°C).
  • Video Output: RCA Cable.

Usage Features:

  • Ease of Setup: The device requires four AA batteries (not included) to operate. The cable with the imager head easily connects to the handheld display unit by aligning a key and slot and turning the connector counterclockwise for a secure attachment. Disconnecting involves turning the connector clockwise.
  • Accessory Attachment: The imager head is designed to accept various accessories (mirror, hook, magnet) by placing the accessory against the imager head and securing it with a sleeve.
  • Real-time Viewing: Users can view the live feed from the imager head on the integrated 2.4" TFT LCD display.
  • External Monitor Connectivity: An RCA cable (included) allows the camera to be connected to an external monitor for a larger display, which can be beneficial for collaborative viewing or more detailed inspection.
  • Adjustable Lighting: The imager head features four adjustable LED lights. Users can dim or turn off the light, or turn it on and increase brightness using dedicated buttons on the handheld unit.
  • Image Orientation Control: A "Flip Image" button allows users to horizontally and vertically flip the displayed image, which is crucial for maintaining correct orientation when the imager head is maneuvered in different directions.
  • Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes critical safety measures, including wearing ANSI-approved safety goggles, shutting off circuit breakers before inspecting walls, checking pipes for electrical charges with a qualified electrician, and turning off automobiles before engine inspection. It also warns against using the camera in explosive atmospheres, near moving machinery, or while standing in water. The handheld display unit is not waterproof, and the imager head should not be submerged in corrosive substances.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning: After use, the camera, including buttons and ports, should be cleaned with a mild detergent on a clean cloth. Care must be taken not to apply excessive pressure to the display screen.
  • Battery Removal: Batteries should be removed before storing the device to prevent potential damage from battery leakage.
  • Storage: The camera, cables, and accessories should be stored in a locked area, out of reach of children.
  • Pre-use Inspection: Before each use, the tool should be inspected for its general condition, including checking for condensation in the imager head, cracked or damaged cables, cracked or broken parts, or any other condition that might affect safe operation.
  • Troubleshooting: A troubleshooting guide is provided for common issues such as the display being on but not showing an image (possible loose cable connection or dirty imager head), dim light at maximum brightness, or the display turning itself off/camera not turning on (possible low batteries).
  • No User Serviceable Parts: The manual explicitly states that there are no user-serviceable parts, and camera service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. This ensures the integrity and safety of the device.

The CENTECH Digital Inspection Camera is a practical tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike, offering a safe and efficient way to conduct visual inspections in challenging environments, supported by clear operational guidelines and safety warnings.
