Place the Recording Button on the Back of the Series C
Keep the inspection quick and efficient. The button on the back of the Series C enables you to freeze an image, take a picture or start a video recording.
CCD/LED on Distal End
Inspect defects such as burrs and cracks inside parts or areas that have no direct visual access. Series C videoscope performance is powered by Olympus optical and precision device expertise. The videoscope captures an image with the desired brightness by combining 8 brightness settings, glare reduction, high intensity LED and light sensitive CCD camera chip technologies. The purity of the white LED light combined with superior Olympus optics assures that the most natural color and image is captured and delivered to the 3 in. VGA monitor. Whether looking for defects on highly reflective metal or looking at corrosion in a dark pipe, count on the videoscope to capture the image you want.
HDMI Connect
Make an impression, project the image on a big screen from the Series C HDMI video output port. Use the included HDMI cable to transfer the image to a wide screen for display.
Please use the accessory HDMI cable for the Series C.
Please use a display monitor with HDMI terminal supported 720 x 480 resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate.
SDHC Card
Images in JPEG format or MPEG-4 video files can be stored to a SDHC card. Once removed, the SDHC card can be used to transfer images or videos to a computer. Alternatively, the Series C unit can be connected directly via a USB cable.
The Series C supported a 4 - 32 GB SDHC card, which is class 6 or above.
Recording available per 1GB: about 6,500 images or about 55 minutes video
Built to last
The Series C is designed for long product life, it features an abrasion-resistant insertion tube with a tungsten outer braid.

Consequently, more inspections can be done with minimum downtime.
Flexible and Durable Insertion Tube
The insertion tube is constructed of four layers to provide long durability. Two stainless steel layers, a waterproofing layer and a tungsten outer braid combine to make this insertion tube 100x more resistant to abrasion than tubes made solely of stainless steel.
Easily Replaceable Hood
The protective cap on the distal end can easily be replaced when worn. Consequently, more inspections can be done with minimum downtime.

Olympus IPLEX FX
Durability
The IPLEX FX introduces new levels of durability to industrial videoscopes with its shock-resistant case design and wear-resistant scope exterior. Adding "strength-of-construction" to a frequently used, job-essential tool produces one tough, reliable and long-lasting piece of industrial inspection equipment.
Cast Magnesium-Alloy Chassis for Impact Resistance
The main component of the IPLEX FX base unit chassis is Magnesium - renowned for its strength and light weight. A typical material used for industrial environment equipment, Magnesium was chosen to provide the impact resistance and solid base that withstands the knocks and bumps that commonly occur to industrial videoscopes. In addition to a crush-resistant chassis each corner is protected by rubber bumpers, further softening a drop and maximising product reliability while reducing potential for damage. The IPLEX FX survived the repetitive 4 feet drop test for compliance to MIL-STD 810G.*
MIL-STD (The United States Defense Standard) is used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense.
