Install O-ring
Now that the O-rings and O-ring surfaces are clean and prepared, we’re ready to install the new O-rings into
the case.
Always wear protective gloves when handling O-ring grease!
5.3
Storage
When a receiver will not be deployed for an extended period of time, remove the battery from the receiver
(section 5.1.1) to stop the VR2Tx from recording. This will prevent the possibility of recording pings from
noise sources during storage and also saves battery life. The desiccant pack should be left in the case during
storage to reduce the occurrence of condensation in the VR2Tx.
Be sure to store the VR2Tx in a safe location where the case will not be damaged. Also be sure the
temperature of the receiver during storage does not exceed the operating temperature specified in section 9.3.
It is strongly suggested that the VR2Tx is not initialized prior to storage (data is not erased) and a backup of
all offloaded data is made immediately.
Slowly move one of
the O-rings along the
body of the VR2Tx to
the end cap and
carefully lift it over the
threads.
STEP 1
Push the O-ring into
the first O-ring groove
and check the
circumference of the
receiver to make sure
the entire O-ring is in
the groove.
STEP 2
Slowly move the second O-ring over the VR2Tx
’s
body, over the threads, and into the remaining
groove. Check that it’s entirely in the groove.
STEP 3
Clean any grease that may have gotten on the
body of the receiver.
STEP 4
Place the receiver on a clean surface so the
O-rings remain debris and damage free.
