Transmission of image files via WLAN
There are 2 ways for a live transmission of images and videos:
1. Access Point: the Wöhler VIS 700 establishes its own WLAN network.
2. Client: You dial into a stationary WLAN network with the Wöhler VIS 700
and your mobile device or laptop.

network
When “Access Point” is selected, the Wöhler VIS 700 builds up its own WLAN net-
work, via which the image data can be transferred directly to a mobile device.
This method allows to view the live images on the Wöhler VIS 700 monitor, while a
colleague standing at the other end of the tube, can watch the live videos on his
mobile device.
Fig. 44: „AccessPoint“
Select “Access Point”
The display shows the network name of the Wöh-
ler VIS 700 and the password you need to connect
your mobile device.
The network name is composed as follows:
VIS700_serial number of the camera.
The default password is:
woehlerVIS700
It is possible to change the network name and the
password.
NOTE
If you change the network name, you can use your
own company name as the network name, for ex-
ample.

To change the network name or password, tap
the corresponding field and then tap the text-
button T.
A keyboard will appear on screen.

Establishing a connection to a
mobile device
To establish a connection between the camera
and the mobile device, proceed as follows.
Access the WLAN settings of your mobile
device.
Select the network VIS700_[serial number, 4
digits] or the network name that you have
chosen
Enter the password. The password is
woehlerVIS700 or the password that you
have chosen. Note the upper and lower case
letters.
NOTE!
As long as your mobile device is connected to the
VIS700 network, you will not be able to connect it
to the Internet. Therefore, the warning message
"Internet not available" appears.
Wait until the Wöhler VIS 700 establishes
contact with your mobile device.
Open any browser on your mobile device
(Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox etc.)
In the address bar of your browser enter:
http://VIS700_[serial number, 4 digits]
The camera image will now be shown on the display
of your mobile device. Changes made to the focus
and brightness settings in the camera menu will
also change the image shown on your terminal
device.

Client: Using an existing WLAN network
In the “Client” mode, you dial into an existing network both with the Wöhler VIS 700
and with a mobile device or a WLAN-capable PC or Laptop. This way, live image
transmission from the camera to the mobile device/laptop is even possible over a
certain distance. This possibility can be interesting in industrial plants, for example.

Select “Client”.
All available networks will appear in the camera
display.

Enter the password of your network.
Confirm with OK.
NOTE
The password will always be saved so that you do
not have to enter it the next time you log on to the
same network.

15.1
Information
on maint
e-
nance
Proper operation of the Service Camera requires
regular maintenance. The following maintenance
works can be done by the user himself.
15.2
Replacing the dome of
the camera head
Fig. 52: Fitting the camera dome
NOTE!
The camera head is supplied protected by a plas-
tic dome, which can be replaced if necessary, for
example, if it becomes scratched. It is optional to
fit this camera head with a glass dome for use in
dry working environments.
Smear the thread with silicone grease before fit-
ting the new dome. When fitting the replacement
dome, make sure you engage all of the thread to
ensure it is properly tightened. Otherwise, it can-
not be guaranteed that the camera head is
properly sealed, and malfunctions can occur as a
result of water and dirt ingress.
15.3
Camera head
Only use soft, damp cloth to clean the lens.
Never use any cleanser.
15.4
Monitor
Clean the monitor using a soft cloth.
15.5
Cleaning the viper and
the rod
The viper with the rod is placed in the lower shell
of the case. It is possible to take it out and clean it
with water. In this case the camera head can re-
main fixed to the camera rod. If you remove the
camera head from the rod, you must seal the rod
end with a plug before cleaning.
To do so proceed as follows:
Maintenance

CAUTION!
Take care that no water comes into the plug con-
nections of the rod.
Secure the monitor plug against water, e.g.
with a foil.
If the camera head is not connected to the rod
during cleaning, secure the rod end against
the ingress of water, e.g. with a foil.
