Case Parts
Do not open Threaded
Endcap unless you are
replacing the battery.
Cable Tie Groove:
This is the second of the two grooves used for attachment.
Hydrophone:
The
receiver’s “microphone”
and most delicate part.
Receiver Locking Ring:
Allows access to
the internal battery and should only be
opened when replacing the internal battery
(see section 5.2.2).
Cable Tie Groove:
These grooves (there are two) are used to attach the VR2C
to a line.
Identification Label:
Contains product name and model number, contact
information, serial number, and important warnings.
At a glance, the blue text indicates receiver is a VR2C-69kHz and green text
indicates it’s a VR2C-180kHz.
Cable Connector:
A locking collar holds
the cable’s 8-pin connector to the VR2C
external connector (shown at right). More
information about the external connector is
found in section 1.3.2. More information
about the external cable is found in
section 4.2.
Status Light (LED)/Release Valve:
The light flashes red to indicate the
receiver’s status. Section 1.3.1 has the full description.
The Release Valve will open
if
the internal pressure is greater than the external
pressure (see section 6.2).
Never cover this valve.
Do not bump the hydrophone
or
the receiver may be damaged and
unable to detect transmitters.
Under no circumstance should you unscrew the upper housing
as this will
cause serious internal damage
to the VR2C.
