Information about the device
Device description
The device VSP3041 serves for inspecting concealed machine
components and poorly accessible or inaccessible hollows.
A high-resolution camera and a moveable camera head with an
adjustable, bright LED illumination are available for the display
and capturing/recording of images and videos. The supplied
camera head VSP‑H41M is connected to the push-cable drum
VSP‑R30 and modularly also to the mobile control unit
VSPControl. The supplied camera head can be exchanged for
other optional Trotec camera heads.
The camera's functions can be controlled via the mobile control
unit VSPControl. Using the provided snap-in system, the mobile
control unit can be affixed to the rear of the supplied push-cable
drum.
A digital metre counter with partial distance measurement
function is integrated in the push-cable drum.
The functions of the device VSP3041 can be controlled via the
integrated operator software of the VSPControl.
The recordings and measurements can be stored on an SD card
and transmitted via a USB interface.

Operation
Inserting the battery into the control unit VSPControl/
exchanging the battery
Note
Make sure that the surface of the device is dry and the
device is switched off.
1. Loosen the two attachment screws(23) at the rear of the
rechargeable battery(25) without removing them.
ðThe battery can now be removed.
2. When inserting the battery, first place the locating tabs at
the bottom of the battery into the designated openings at
the rear of the device.
3. Now slightly press the top of the battery down and tighten
the two attachment screws(23) at the rear of the battery.
ðThe battery is inserted in the device
Inserting the SD card
1. Lift off the protective flap(14) at the top of the VSPControl.
2. Insert the SDcard in the SDcard slot(21).
3. Slightly press down the SDcard until it engages.
4. Close the protective flap(14) again.
Connecting the control unit VSPControl to the push-cable
drum VSP‑R30 and attaching/ removing it
Please proceed as follows if you want to connect the control unit
VSPControl to the supplied push-cable drum VSP‑R30 and
attach or remove it:
1. Pull out the sealing cap for the multi-connector socket (15)
on the top of the VSPControl.
ðThe sealing cap is attached to a wire on the control unit.
Make sure that the plug is located on the display side
and does not dangle at the rear of the VSPControl.
2. Plug the multi-connector(13) at the rear of the push-cable
drum into the multi-connector socket(28) on top of the
VSPControl so that it fits exactly.
ðMake sure that the red markings on the plug and socket
are aligned and that the multi-connector engages firmly.
3. Lift the control unit VSPControl onto the snap-in
system(12) at the rear of the push-cable drum VSP‑R30.
First press the control unit against the push-cable drum's
rear panel, then downwards. The two standoffs for snap-in
attachment(22) at the rear of the control unit VSPControl
must engage with the two guide rails of the snap-in
system(12).

VSP inspection system VSP3041
Connecting the camera head to the push-cable drum
You can connect the supplied camera head (or one of the
optional camera heads from Trotec) to the end of the push-
cable drum VSP‑R30. Please proceed as follows to connect the
supplied camera head VSP‑H41M to the push-cable drum:
Note
Only use the tool included in the scope of delivery to
connect a camera head to the push-cable drum.
1. Unless already carried out upon delivery, first guide the
push cable without camera head through the hole in the
coiled cord brake(6).
2. Unreel the push cable(2) a little for better access to the
end of the push-cable drum.
3. Lock the push cable with the brake as described in the
section "Preventing the push cable from unreeling using
the brake" to prevent further unreeling.
4. Manually screw the camera head's threaded connector
clockwise onto the threaded connection at the end of the
push cable.
5. To fasten the connection, apply the supplied wrench just
beneath the threaded connection of the push cable as
depicted. Make sure that the wrench engages with the
existing grooves so it cannot slip.
6. Apply the other supplied wrench to the threaded
connection beneath the camera head and make sure that
its teeth engage with the grooves under the threaded
connection.
ðTurn the wrench until the camera head is fixed in place.
7. Also use the supplied wrenches as described to disconnect
and possibly replace the camera head from the push-cable
drum.
Preventing the push cable from unreeling using the brake
Note
The push cable of the VSP-R30 push-cable drum is
tensioned and can unwind unexpectedly. Use the
coiled cord brake(6) if you do not want to unwind the
push cable.
You can use the integrated brake(6) to prevent the push cable
from unwinding unintentionally. To do so, please proceed as
follows:
1. Turn the coiled cord brake(6) inwards so that the coiled
cord can no longer be rolled off.
2. To release the coiled cord brake(6) turn it back into its
initial position.
Using plastic protective caps
Note
In order to prevent damaging of the device, never use
the camera head VSP‑H41M without one of the impact-
proof and break-resistant plastic protective caps from
the scope of delivery.
Unless already preassembled you should protect the camera
head by mounting one of the supplied plastic protective caps as
follows before every application:
1. Check the threading of the camera head for dirt and clean
it if necessary.
2. Attach the plastic protective cap(9) to the camera head(8)
and make sure that the threading does not get wedged.
Screw the plastic protective cap down by hand.
ðMake sure that neither dirt nor moisture can enter the
movable camera unit.
3. If the mounted plastic protective cap was affected too
much by using the device resulting in too many scratches,
replace it with a new one.
