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.

WARNING
ƽ
Although the PE14 probe is also compatible with the
handle of Seeker 300, 200 and 100 (DCS300, DCS200
and DCS100) systems, attaching it to those systems
does NOT upgrade their safety ratings. General does
not advise and bears no responsibility for use of the
PE14 probe with any system other than the DCS400.
Working in concert with a DCS400, the PE14 makes it safe to
inspect two kinds of environments:
1. Any area or enclosure where you would expect to find
electrical wiring. Examples include junction and distribution
boxes, circuit breaker panels, electrical cabinets, equipment
chassis and enclosures, and motor control centers. Whether
the wiring is exposed or hidden, it represents a potential
hazard hazard to anyone operating a video camera scope
with a conventional probe with a metal exterior.
2. Any area or enclosure where you would not expect to find
electrical wiring, but exposed wiring nevertheless may be
present. Examples include attics, crawl spaces, rafters, ducts
and basements of houses—in short, any area that is too
inaccessible, confined or dark to be visible to the naked eye.
