SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!

Never insert a probe attached to the H16 into a structure or space known

or suspected to contain live electric wiring

• The H16 is intended for industrial applications only. Do not use it for human or any other

biological inspections.

• Never insert an attached probe into any ﬂammable gas or liquid (including fuels in an oil,

gasoline or diesel tank)

• Do not disassemble the instrument. Doing so creates a potentially fatal electrical hazard (and

voids the warranty as well).

WHAT’S IN THE CASE

The DCS1600 comes in a custom hard plastic protective carrying case. Inside the case are:

• The H16 console. The console integrates an LCD monitor, a connector for a high-performance

camera-tipped probe from General, and front-panel controls for controlling the camera’s lights,

adjusting system parameters, and recording and playing back videos and photos captured by an

attached probe.

• A 5.5mm diameter flexible-obedient probe of 1m length

• Attachable 70°, 90° and 110° mirrored probe tips

• A 2GB SD memory card

• An AC adapter/battery charger for a 110/220VAC supply. The adapter has a 5.5VDC, center-

positive output plug.

• A video cable for connecting the H16 to a TV monitor. The cable has RCA plugs at one end and a

mini-stereo plug at the other end.

• A USB cable with a mini-USB plug on one end and a full-size USB plug on the other end. It can be

used to display the contents of the SD card on a computer directly, without removing the card

from the console.

• A soft cloth, a bottle of liquid, and cotton swabs for cleaning the console

• A package of desiccant
