5.1.4
Close the VR2AR Case
Before deploying or storing a VR2AR 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. Important information about
storing a VR2AR is found in section 5.3.
Hold the receiver in an upright position
and place
three new desiccant packs (if the existing packs have
been used during a deployment) in the bottom of the
Outer Cylinder,
past the green/gold connection
plate
. This is to prevent the dessicant packs from
being
pinched
when screwing the top back on (see
Steps 4 and 5).
STEP 3
Desiccant packs have been included in the bottom of the
VR2AR to reduce the occurrence of condensation in the
VR2AR. Three 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,
If this is the first time closing the VR2AR case, then make a
visual inspection of the O-rings and the O-ring surface inside the
outer cylinder to be sure they are still clean, properly greased,
undamaged, and debris free. Details are found in section 5.2.
If the VR2AR has previously been deployed, then follow the
O-ring inspection/replacement instructions in section 5.2 to
improve the seal in the case before continuing.
STEP 2
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 VR2AR is open at the same time.
