* Safe Working Load (SWL) sometimes stated as the Normal Working Load (NWL), is the maximum safe 
force that a piece of equipment, lifting device or accessory can exert to lift, suspend, or lower, a given mass 
without fear of breaking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING: 

The VR2AR-X pressure case and seal have a 

static depth rating of

 

500 meters

 (730 psi).   

Physical shocks to the receiver, such as bumping into a solid object, when it is at any depth can result in a 
considerably higher pressure on the casing than just the depth pressure and water may enter the VR2AR

–X 

case.  If the O-rings or their mating surfaces are dirty or damaged, then water may also enter the receiver 
case.  If you are suspicious that water has entered the receiver, then follow the suggestions in the Appendix 
for troubleshooting a pressurized case.
