Introduction 10BAR Underwater Housings are small, light and rugged enough to be used on every dive. Use of a clear polycarbonate allows for visual inspection of camera condition and the O-ring seal. 10BAR Housings are designed for the ever -increasing variety of models of digital still and video cameras.
. Specifications 450D Test Pressure Closure Design Body Material Overall Size Total Weight Buoyancy (with camera) Features Accessories Housings are individually tested to 10 Bar (90 m / 300 ft.) Recommended working pressure 60 m. O-ring, Air Lock Polycarbonate 200 x 300 x 230 mm (LxWxH) Approximately 2.
4. Set up Instructions 4.1 Air Lock: The body and lid are designed with the Air Lock system “no clip” closure arrangement. Testing has shown that this arrangement allow the water to exert an even pressure on the O-ring, increasing the reliability of the watertight seal. 4.2 Pressure release plug To open the housing, the pressure release plug must be first unscrewed and then pulled out all the way (Counter-clockwise) (Fig 1).
.4 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.
contamination such as dust, hair, salt, sand etc. has fallen onto the O-ring or O-ring recess, as a precaution we recommend to inspect the O-ring every time the lid is opened and to carry out the maintenance if necessary. Procedure: • Place the lid on a firm non-slip level surface. • The O-ring can be extracted using an O-ring extractor tool (make sure the tool as no sharp edges). Alternatively use the flat s of the thumbs to gently stretch the O-ring on two faces (Fig.
4.7 Mounting the flashlight in the housing Remove the lens cap and wrist strap. The pressure release plug should be pulled out before inserting the camera. Attach the plastic slide tray to the camera¡s tripod mounting fixture with a coin, screwdriver or the end of the universal tool supplied (Fig. 5). Take care not to excessively tighten the screw. Slide the camera into the body along the guide rail (Fig. 6).
5. Use & Care of Housing: 5.1 Pre Dive Function Check. Just before entering the water, make a habit of reviewing the proper steps to close the housing and connect the bulkhead. Make a visual check of the O-ring seal. It is also useful to switch on the camera, and check that controls e.g. on/off, zoom, shutter functions operate normally.
5.4 Transportation. Please protect the housing during transportation. It is recommended to remove the handle, and shutter extension, and wrap the camera in foam or bubble wrap. 5.5 Accidents. The impact resistance of the housing is excellent. However after an accident the alignment of the housing may have been altered. Therefore in the event of your housing suffering an impact force, e.g. being dropped, it is essential that you do not use the housing for diving.
