Product Information
Full details
This insulated inspection mirror is designed for professionals working with high-voltage systems, particularly in hybrid and EV maintenance. Its key benefit is safe inspection of live circuits up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC, offering flexibility and visibility in tight spaces. A key caveat is to avoid bending the shaft within 30mm of the mirror joint to maintain insulation integrity. The tool features a 55mm diameter lens, a 400mm flexible shaft, and a high-visibility orange rubber coating.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum voltage this mirror can be used with?
This mirror is approved for live working up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC.
What is the length of the flexible shaft?
The flexible shaft is 400mm long, and the total length of the tool is 630mm.
How should I clean the inspection mirror?
Clean the mirror lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. The rubber casing can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I bend the flexible shaft anywhere?
No, you should not apply bending pressure within 30mm of the mirror joint. This area is critical for maintaining insulation integrity.
What are the dimensions of the mirror?
The mirror has a diameter of 55mm.
Is this tool suitable for general household inspections?
While it can be used for general inspections, its primary design and certification are for high-voltage electrical work. For non-electrical tasks, standard inspection mirrors may suffice.
What does IEC60900 standard mean?
IEC60900 is an international standard that specifies requirements for tools used for live working on or near energized electrical parts, ensuring they provide adequate protection against electric shock.
Troubleshooting
Mirror is dirty or smudged
Gently clean the mirror surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the mirror or its coating.
Flexible shaft is stiff or difficult to position
Ensure the shaft is not bent sharply within 30mm of the mirror joint. Try gently flexing the shaft in different directions to loosen it. Store it in a straight or gently curved position.
Rubber coating appears damaged
Immediately discontinue use if the high-visibility orange rubber coating shows signs of cuts, tears, or degradation, as this compromises the insulation and safety. Refer to the product warranty or contact support for replacement options.
Mirror is loose or wobbly
Check if the mirror head is securely attached to the flexible shaft. If it feels loose and cannot be tightened, cease use to avoid potential damage or detachment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Safe for live high-voltage work (up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC)
- Flexible shaft allows access to tight spaces
- Large mirror diameter for better visibility
- High-visibility orange coating for easy handling
- Complies with IEC60900 safety standards
Cons
- Bending pressure should not be applied within 30mm of the mirror joint
- Potential for mirror breakage if excessive force is applied
- Not suitable for non-electrical inspections where insulation is not required (can be overkill)
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This inspection mirror requires no setup. It is ready for immediate use upon unpacking.
Compatibility: It is specifically designed for inspecting electrical components and systems up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC. It is ideal for use with hybrid and electric vehicles but can be used in any environment where safe visual inspection of live high-voltage circuits is necessary.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the mirror lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the rubber casing, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store in a dry, protected area. Ensure the flexible shaft is not stored under any significant bends or stress.
- Handling: Always handle with care. Do not apply bending pressure within 30mm of the mirror joint, as this can compromise the insulation.
- Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect the mirror, shaft, and rubber coating for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear that could affect its insulating properties. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately.
