4. Set up Instructions
4.1 Special note on responsibility for watertight integrity
Each housing is individually inspected and hydrostatically tested in the factory. The design of the
main piston O-ring seal is among the most reliable in the industry and the watertight integrity is
excellent. This special O-ring design provides a perfect seal even if there is any movement
between the body and lid due to change of ambient pressure. However please note that
responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the watertight seal lies entirely with the user. 10BAR
accepts no liability for damage to, or loss of any equipment used with, or placed inside the
housing. Users are highly recommended to carry out in-water test of the housings without
installing of the camera for their first dive, after change of new ports or alternation of any new
configuration. The test can be carried out by lowering the housing with ballast to the working
depth or dive down to the safe diving range.
The O-ring seal is the main barrier between the water outside and the air space
within the camera. It is an effective barrier only if the seal is properly maintained. The
O-ring seal should be inspected before every dive. The following information is
provided for guidance in using and maintaining the O-ring seal.
