Transmission of image files via WLAN 41Connection to a mobile de-vice or laptop  Proceed as follows to establish the connection between the camera and the mobile device or laptop.  Open the WLAN settings of your mobile de-vice.  Select the same network that you dialed into with the camera.  Enter the password of your network.  Open any browser on your mobile device or laptop (Chrome, Firefox, Internetexplorer etc.). Since the settings of mobile devices are different, two procedures are described below. If option 1 does not work, proceed with option 2. Option 1  Enter the following address in the address bar of the browser of your mobile device: http://VIS700_[serial number, 4 digit] NOTE You can find the serial number on the sticker on the back of the monitor or in the settings menu (System menu>Settings) under "Hostname". The Camera-picture will now appear on the screen or your mobile device or laptop. Focus and bright-ness settings made via the menu on the camera also affect the picture on the mobile device. Option 2 Fig. 50: Settings menu - wlan0_IP is marked  If your mobile device did not connect success-fully to the camera, proceed as follows:  Open the settings menu of the Wöhler VIS 700 (system menu > settings). In the left column you will find the wlan0-IP.  Enter the wlan0-IP in the address bar of your browser. (without http, only the digits and dots!) The camera image will now appear in the display of your mobile device. Focus and brightness settings made via the menu on the camera image will also affect the image on the mobile device.
Faults 42 14 Faults 14.1 Reset Fig. 51: Reset hole indicated by an arrow It is possible to rectify certain malfunctions by initi-ating a reset operation.

Maintenance 4315 Maintenance 15.1 Information on mainte-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.

Maintenance 45 Fig. 56: Grasping the end of the rod and the viper  Grasp the rod guide and the viper, so that they cannot twist against each other any more.  Turn the viper 90° counterclockwise. The rod can easily be removed from the case now. Fig. 57: Removing the viper with the connection cable from the case.  Remove the viper from the case.  Cautiously pull the monitor cable from the case.  Close the upper shell of the case.
Maintenance 46 Cleaning the viper and the rod Fig. 58: Viper removed from the case, monitor plug covered by a lid CAUTION!
