1. Introduction
10 BAR Underwater Housings are small, light and rugged enough to be used on every
dive. Use of clear polycarbonate allows for visual inspection of camera condition and the Oring seal. 10 BAR Housings are designed for the ever-increasing variety of models of digital
still and video cameras. Advanced computer aided design and CNC manufacturing
technologies ensure precise dimensions. Each housing body is first injection molded, and then
machined to configure to individual camer a model. A range of lens ports and controls are
fitted, to tailor the housing to your camera model.

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 Oring, 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 (Fig 1). This provides a passage for the air to pass though and
eliminate the pressure different between the inside of the housing and the ambient.
The plug consists of an internal double O-ring seal on the stainless steel slide shaft.
These inte rnal O-rings form the watertight seal. There is also a large outer O-ring under the
knob. This O -ring serves to prevent contamination of the slide shaft, with dirt, salt etc., and is
not required for watertight integrity. If this O-ring should become detached, it can simply be
pushed back in place.

(Fig. 1) Open Housing Procedure
4.3 Opening levers:
After unscrewing and pulling out the pressure rel ease plug, the lid can be opened. To
overcome the friction of opening, use lever (Fig. 2) to push against the lid with a cam action.
Be sure they are inserted all the way flat to the housing before turning to avoid damaging the
protrusions on the lid. The body has four holes on each corner edges for opening. Gently
lever off the lid with the supplied opening lever (Fig. 3) taking care not to twist the lid
excessively. The lid should be opened keeping it approximately paralleled to the body at all
times, turn first one corner a little, then the other a little, and repeat again until the lid is
opened. Remember to unscrew and pull out the pressure release plug all the way first,
otherwise the air pressure will resist attempts at opening. Lay the lid on a flat stable surface
after opening.
