Hawkeye®Pro Videoscope – Description

The Hawkeye®Pro Videoscope consists of a CMOS image sensor mounted in the

tip of a flexible insertion tube.

The insertion tube is attached to a control handle that allows remote control of

the tip position.

The built-in video display monitors the image in real time. It can also capture

and store still images or video clips.

Hawkeye®Pro Videoscope – Warnings

Insertion Tube

All models have a stainless steel monocoil at their center for resistance to

accidental crushing, and have a tungsten outer braid to resist damage while

sliding over harsh surfaces.

THE INSERTION TUBE IS ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE. DO NOT ALLOW

CONTACT WITH ELECTRICALLY LIVE OBJECTS. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

MAY RESULT!

Bending Section

The bending section houses the articulating collar assembly. This is the most

flexible part of the scope, and the most vulnerable. It cannot tolerate the

same rough handling as the insertion tube.

TAKE CARE NOT TO CRUSH OR PINCH THIS AREA.

Articulation Levers

Maximum bending of the tip will be possible when the insertion tube is fully

extended.

DO NOT TRY TO FORCE THE TIP TO BEND WITH THE INSERTION TUBE COILED

FOR STORAGE.

Articulation Locks

When engaged, the articulation locks will prevent the tip from bending.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WITHDRAW THE INSERTION TUBE FROM A CAVITY WITH

THE LOCKS ENGAGED. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE ARTICULATION

MECHANISM.

Install 90-degree Prism Tip

If the 90° Prism Tip is needed:

Remove the Tip Cap.

Always keep the Tip Cap or an adapter installed to protect the Tip threads.

Notice the locating flat on the scope tip.

Thread the knurled portion of the Prism Tip on, just past the first

set

of threads on the Ti

Rotate the Prism Tip until its internal flat engages the locating flat on the

scope tip. Then continue threading the Prism Tip on until there is no side-

play in the Prism Tip. STOP threading at that point. FINGER-TIGHTEN ONLY

OR DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

A small gap will be present when Prism Tip is fully tightened in place.

Do not force beyond this point.

No side play.

Hawkeye®Pro Videoscope – Setup

Charge Main Battery

Connect the power supply to the DC/IN jack as shown. Plug the power supply

into an AC outlet and allow the PVM to charge its internal battery. A full

charge takes about 3 hours and will run for 2-3 hours.

Charge Light Source Battery

Insert one of the light source batteries into its charger. Make sure the metal

contacts on the battery are at the same end of the slot as the contacts in the

charger. Slide the battery fully into the slot until the contacts touch. Connect

the power supply and charge the battery.

The red STATUS light indicates

that power is ON to the charger.

The CHARGE light will flash green

if the battery is not connected.

When charging a discharged

battery it will glow a steady red at

first. Then it will flash alternately

red and green. As the charge

builds up, the red flashes will

become shorter in duration until

they finally cease. At that point

the light will glow a steady green

indicating that charging is

complete. This takes about an

hour or less. A full charge will last

about 45 minutes at full intensity.

Hawkeye®Pro Videoscope – Setup

Install Light Source

Install the charged battery into the LED Light Source: Remove the tail cap.

Slide the battery into the cavity with the metal contacts facing IN. Replace

the tail cap.

Check the operation of the LED Light Source. Rotate the switch tab and

confirm that the light turns on and brightens as the switch is rotated.

Align the Light Source with the Light Post on the Control Handle and thread

them together with the knurled ring. Tighten with fingers only.

3-5 seconds. The system will start up and go into Normal mode, displaying a

live image from the CMOS sensor .

To turn the unit OFF, push and hold the power button for 1-2 seconds.

Holding the Videoscope

tube and guide it toward the inspection

area.

Hawkeye®Pro Videoscope – Operation

Articulating the Viewing Tip

In the 4-way configuration, one thumb lever controls right/left movement and

the other controls up/down. Use caution when bending the insertion tube or

bending section, excessive force can cause damage.

Use the articulation locks if necessary to hold the tip in position once the scope

is in viewing position.

REMEMBER TO RELEASE THE LOCK BEFORE WITHDRAWING THE INSERTION

TUBE.

Inserting the Videoscope:

Before inserting the videoscope into equipment, ensure that the bending

section is straight and the articulation lock is not engaged. The tip should

move freely when the articulation thumb levers are moved.

The more the insertion tube is coiled or bent, the less the tip can articulate.

Maximum articulation is possible when the insertion tube is relatively straight.

When the locks are not engaged, their levers are loose and will move freely.

Pushing the lever until resistance is felt will lock the corresponding thumb

lever.

REMEMBER TO RELEASE THE LOCK BEFORE WITHDRAWING THE INSERTION

TUBE.

Hawkeye®Pro Videoscope – Operation

Turn the light source on to maximum brightness.

With the tip in the straight-ahead position, slowly begin to insert the scope into

the cavity to be viewed. Watch the image to see where the scope is pointed as

you guide the tip to the inspection area.

If a bend must be negotiated, articulate the tip in the direction of the bend to

keep the tip from buckling. If the scope is obstructed by objects or bends,

rotate the tube back and forth while moving it forward.

This twisting motion helps to overcome snags on equipment edges. Continue

guiding the scope forward until the target area is visible in the display.

Withdrawing the Borescope

When the inspection is completed, or the scope needs to be repositioned, BE

SURE TO RELEASE ALL ARTICULATION LOCKS PRIOR TO WITHDRAWAL to

prevent damage to the articulation system. Move the articulation thumb levers

back and forth to ensure they are in the loose neutral position and the tip is

free to bend as needed during withdrawal.

Pull out the scope slowly, and be ready to catch the viewing tip when it exits

to prevent possible damage to the tip. If the scope snags on equipment edges,

try rotating the tube back and forth.
