Close the VR2Tx Case
Before deploying or storing a VR2Tx receiver, the case must be properly closed and sealed to prevent damage
to the electronics. Even humidity in the air can, over time, cause damage to the electronics so it’s very
important to keep the case sealed, with a functioning desiccant pack inside, as much as possible. Important
information about storing a VR2Tx is found in section 5.3.
Place a new desiccant pack (if the existing one has been deployed) in the
bottom of the Outer Cylinder so both ends of the pack are touching opposite
sides of the cylinder’s wall.
STEP 3
A desiccant pack has been included in the bottom of the
VR2Tx to reduce the occurrence of condensation in the
VR2Tx. One of these packs should remain in the receiver
case during storage and deployment.
We recommend that you replace the desiccant pack with
each deployment and with each battery replacement cycle.
More information on the availability and usage of these packs
is located on our website,
Make sure the serial number around the outer cylinder
matches the serial number on the internal casing. This is
particularly important when more than one VR2Tx receiver
is open at the same time.
STEP 1
If this is the first time closing the VR2Tx case, then make a visual
inspection of the O-rings and the O-ring surface inside the outer
cylinder to be sure they are clean, properly greased, undamaged,
and debris free. Details are found in section 5.2.
If the VR2Tx has been deployed previously, then follow the O-ring
inspection/replacement instructions in section 5.2 to improve the
seal in the case.
