4. Set up Instructions

4.1 Special note on responsibility for watertight integrity

Each housing is individually inspected and hydrostatically tested in the factory. The design of the main piston O-ring seal is among the most reliable in the industry and the watertight integrity is excellent. This special O-ring design provides a perfect seal even if there is any movement between the body and lid due to change of ambient pressure. However please note that responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the watertight seal lies entirely with the user. 10BAR accepts no liability for damage to, or loss of any equipment used with, or placed inside the housing. Users are highly recommended to carry out in-water test of the housings without installing of the camera for their first dive, after change of new ports or alternation of any new configuration. The test can be carried out by lowering the housing with ballast to the working depth or dive down to the safe diving range.

The O-ring seal is the main barrier between the water outside and the air space within the camera. It is an effective barrier only if the seal is properly maintained. The O-ring seal should be inspected before every dive. The following information is provided for guidance in using and maintaining the O-ring seal.
