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.
