VR2W Metal/PVC Casing
The VR2W receiver is housed in a black plastic high pressure case as shown in the photo below. The outer
cylinder is removed from the receiver to install the D-cell Lithium battery, revealing the internal casing
protecting the electronics. The older black VR2W receivers have a metal/PVC internal casing, which is
explained in this document. The metal/PVC internal casing has an O-ring between the metal internal casing
and the PVC battery cup to reduce vibration and is not used for water protection. Do not grease this O-ring.
The procedure for opening a black VR2W is the same regardless of the type of internal casing so we will
begin with an open VR2W, shown below. Details on how to open the receiver are found in section 2.1.
Remove Battery
1.
Press the release lever on the battery connector and pull the connector apart. The
connector is small and a small flat screw driver may help release the lever.
2.
Press the back of the battery towards the body of the VR2W until the battery is not
pressing against the O-ring. There is a spring at the other end of the battery cup so
the battery will move.
3.
Slip the O-ring from its groove as shown in the photo. The O-ring’s purpose is to
hold the battery from sliding out the end of the battery cup.
4.
Slide the O-ring along the battery’s connector wires so they are separated from
each other.
5.
Tip the VR2W so the battery slides out of the battery cup.

surrounding the
electronics is not
waterproof. Water, even
condensation from a
humid environment, will
enter the case and
damage the electronics.
