OTC, an SPX Brand, recently released a new video inspection scope (P/N 3880) designed for remote inspection of areas generally inaccessible to the naked eye. It comes with a distal video camera at the end of a water-resistant Staylock shaft used for the internal inspection of engines, and many other automotive applications, without costly demolition or disassembly.
“This handy tool gives you the edge on troubleshooting, problem solving, and plain old guesswork,” said Andy Forsberg, SPX Service Solutions Product Manager of Electronics. “Featuring the latest in remote video technology, the new OTC 3880 pushes the envelope on value and innovation, and is a must have tool for any serious technician or professional working in vehicle inspection and maintenance.”
Measuring only 10 millimeters in diameter, the shaft is ideal for probing hard-to-reach areas normally hidden from sight. This is especially handy when examining the condition of internal combustion engines; inspecting belts for wear and cracking, looking inside engine cylinders through the spark plug hole; locating bad sensors and electrical connectors, and so much more.
The easy to see, high-resolution, color LCD screen provides crystal-clear video from the miniature camera at the tip of the 36-inch long Staylock shaft. Imaging and illumination are provided by a full color camera with dual solid state LEDs. The large 2.5-inch full color LCD screen allows the user to observe live video output from the distal camera and the RCA feature provides optional viewing on a larger screen. The autofocus and sensitivity of the camera helps keep the image clear and sharp and allows the operator to view objects as close as 1/4-inch.
The scope is battery powered and offers four hours of operating time on four AA batteries—included in the kit purchase. It comes in a protective case and includes a clip-on mirror attachment that enables the technician to see 90 degrees to axis of the shaft; and a magnetic pickup attachment for convenient operation.
The 3880 video scope tool is manufactured in the United States and has a one-year warranty. More importantly, it carries the OTC Brand, thus ensuring a long life of repetitive use in the shop. Other industries that would benefit from using the OTC 3880 include aviation, HVAC, marine, maintenance, law enforcement, electrical and so much more!
