ELECTRICALLY INSULATED 14mm PROBE USER’S MANUAL NOTE: ETL SAFETY RATING ONLY APPLIES TO THE DCS400 SERIES SYSTEMS. PE14 Please read this manual carefully and thoroughly before using this product.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a PE14 Electrically Insulated Probe for your Seeker™ 400 Series (DCS400, DCS400-05 or DCS400-09) Wireless Recording Video Inspection System. Please read this user’s manually thoroughly and carefully before using the product. The PE14 is a unique, electrically insulated, far-focus camera-tipped probe that gives the DCS400 system it is attached to an ETL safety rating of CAT III 1000V, CAT IV 600V.
Such areas may contain electrical hazards created by age (worn insulation, e.g.) or structural modifications. The PE14 makes it possible to inspect electrically hazardous areas (as well as safe areas) using the capabilities and features of a Seeker 400 Series system. The probe has many applications in the automotive/boat/aircraft repair, plumbing, construction, restoration and HVAC/R industries.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING • DO NOT attach the PE14 to the handle of any video inspection system other than the DCS400, DCS400-05 or DCS400-09. Doing so does NOT upgrade the ETL safety rating of that unit. Doing so also voids the warranty of the PE14. • If you have attached any of the three included probe tip accessories (the 45° mirror, the magnetic pickup, or the pickup hook), to the PE14, DO NOT use it to inspect any equipment or area known or suspected to contain “live” electrical wiring.
ATTACHING THE PROBE To attach the PE14 probe to the handle (grip) of a DCS400 Series system, first roll the rubber insulation back from the connector end of the probe. Then line up the probe’s alignment key with the flat on the coupling of the DCS400’s probe connector (left photo below). Push the two ends together until they mate. To secure the connection, turn the collar of the probe connector (right photo below). Finally, roll the yellow insulation forward until it covers both joined metal connectors.

• The camera head and its cover are waterproof, but not acidproof or fire-proof. Do not touch acidic, corrosive or hot materials or they will ruin the camera head’s protective plastic. Never place the camera head in contact with corrosive or oily places or high temperature objects. • When inspecting a vehicle, shut off the engine. Metal and liquid under the hood may be hot. Don’t get oil or gas on the camera head. • Cover the camera-tipped end of the probe with the protective rubber cap when not using it.
