Waterproof Component
Your new Spektrum™ SR2010 has been designed and built to allow you to
operate the product in many “wet conditions”, including puddles, creeks, wet grass,
snow and even rain.
While waterproof, this component has not been designed to be immersed in water
for long periods of time and should NOT be treated like a submarine. In addition,
most metal parts, including any screws and nuts, as well as the contacts in the
electrical cables, will be susceptible to corrosion if additional maintenance is not
performed after running in wet conditions.
To maximize the long-term performance of your SR2010 and to keep the warranty
intact, it should only be used as described in the “Usage Conditions” section of this
manual. Additionally, the procedures described in the “Wet Conditions Maintenance”
section must be performed regularly if you choose to run in wet conditions. If you
are not willing to perform the additional care and maintenance required, then you
should not operate your vehicle in those conditions.
CAUTION:
Failure to exercise caution while using this product and comply with the
following precautions could result in product malfunction and/or void the warranty.
General precautions
Read through the wet conditions maintenance procedures and make sure that you
have all the tools you will need to properly maintain your receiver.
Do not operate your receiver where it could come in contact with salt water (ocean
water or water on salt-covered roads), contaminated or polluted water. Salt water is
very conductive and highly corrosive, so use caution.
Usage Conditions
Your receiver will operate successfully in any of the following, individual-usage
scenarios:
• 2 hours continuous operation in dew-covered (damp) grass or vegetation.
• 2 hours continuous operation in heavy fog (95% humidity, saturated air,
condensing water).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light rain (< 0.10 in / 2.5mm per hour).
• 15 minutes continuous operation in heavy rain (> 0.30 in / 7.6mm per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light sleet (< 0.10 in / 2.5mm per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light snow (< 0.25 in / 6.35mm per hour).
• 45 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh water (the
water level should always remain below the vehicle frame), or constant
splashing water, without any immersion of waterproof component(s).
• 5 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh water (the water
level should never rise higher than 0.5 in (about 10 mm) above the vehicle
frame), constant splashing water, or frequent, intermittent immersion of
waterproof component(s).
• 1 hour continuous operation in damp sand, dirt, mud or snow (the material
level should always be below the vehicle frame), constant splatter without any
immersion or coverage of waterproof component(s).
