Attachment: 

Standard method: 5 non-reusable lashing cable ties, 388 mm (15.25")

number HWE 507450). 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

WARNING 

The VR2Tx 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 VR2Tx 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.
