Frequently Asked Questions - PT-046 OLYMPUS

How do I perform a water leak test before diving?

Place the empty, closed housing in a water tank or bathtub. First immerse it for 3 seconds and check for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, proceed with a 30-second immersion, then a 3-minute immersion while operating the buttons. After each step, check that no water has entered inside. Refer to the Water leak test section of the manual.

How do I properly maintain the sealing ring?

After each use, open the housing and carefully remove the O-ring using the provided tool. Clean the O-ring groove and the O-ring itself with a lint-free cloth. Apply a thin layer of Olympus PSOLG-2 silicone grease to the entire circumference of the O-ring, avoiding stretching. Replace it, ensuring it is properly seated in its groove. Repeat this procedure even if the housing has not been used.

Which silica gel should I use to prevent fogging?

Use exclusively the supplied SILCA-5S silica gel or genuine Olympus refills. Place a 1 g packet between the bottom of the camera and the housing before closing. Replace the packet each time the housing is opened, as it loses effectiveness after absorbing moisture.

Can I use a grease other than Olympus silicone grease for the O-ring?

No, only use the silicone grease specified by Olympus (ref. PSOLG-2). Conventional or unsuitable silicone-based greases can damage the O-ring and cause water leaks.

What is the maximum operating depth of the PT-046?

The housing is designed for use up to 40 meters depth. Never exceed this limit, as this may damage the housing and the camera.

How do I properly open and close the housing?

To open, press and hold the slide lock and turn the open/close dial counterclockwise as far as it will go. Gently open the rear cover. To close, close the cover and turn the dial fully clockwise (180°). Make sure the dial is in the closed position to ensure a watertight seal.

What should I do if I suspect a water leak during use?

Immediately ascend to the surface. Remove the camera from the housing, wipe it carefully, and remove the battery. Check the integrity of the O-ring, the presence of foreign matter, and the general condition of the housing. If water ingress is confirmed, contact an authorized Olympus service center. Do not use the housing again without repair.

How do I insert the camera into the housing?

Make sure the camera is off and its strap is removed. Open the housing, gently insert the camera, aligning the lens with the window. Place a new silica gel packet between the bottom of the camera and the housing. Check that the O-ring is clean and properly positioned, then close the housing following the closing procedure.

How do I dry the housing after use in the sea?

After removing the camera, close the empty housing and rinse it thoroughly with fresh water for 30 minutes to 1 hour to remove all salt. Wipe it with a soft lint-free cloth and let it dry in the shade in a well-ventilated area. Never use a hair dryer or expose it to direct sunlight.

What are the consumable parts and how often should they be replaced?

The consumable parts are the O-ring (POL-041), the silica gel (SILCA-5S), and the silicone grease (PSOLG-2). The O-ring should be replaced at least once a year or as soon as it shows signs of damage, cracks, or loss of elasticity. The silica gel should be replaced each time the housing is opened.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with internal parts and a close-up view (no text or symbols)

CAUTION:

• Maintenance of the waterproof functions is required even before using this product underwater for the first time.
• When a sharp object is used to remove the O-ring or to clean the inside of the O-ring groove, the Case and the O-ring may be damaged and water leakage may occur.
  • Take care not to stretch the O-ring.
• Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar solvents or chemical detergents to clean the O-ring. When such chemicals are used, the O-ring may be damaged or its deterioration will be accelerated.

How to Apply Grease to the O-ring

1	Apply the exclusive lubricant to each O-ring.		Make sure that your fingers and the O-ring are free of dirt, and squeeze about 5 mm of lubricant onto a finger. (5 mm is the most appropriate amount.)
2	Spread the lubricant all over the O-ring.		Apply the lubricant with three fingers and spread it over the ring. Be careful not to use force as this may stretch the O-ring.
3	Check that the O-ring is free of scratches or unevenness.		After spreading the lubricant, check visually and by touch that the O-ring is not scratched and that its surface is flat. If it is damaged in any way, be sure to replace it with a brand-new O-ring.
4	Apply lubricant on the O-ring contact surface.		Use the lubricant remaining on the fingers to clean and lubricate the case's contact surface.

CAUTION:

• Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has been opened every shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may cause water leakage.
• When the Case is not to be used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the groove to prevent deformation of the O-ring, apply a thin coat of silicone grease, and store it in a clean plastic bag or the like.

Install the O-ring

Confirm that no foreign matter is adhered, apply a thin coat of the grease provided to the O-ring, and fit the O-ring into the groove. At this point, confirm that the O-ring does not stick out from the groove.

- When sealing this product, make sure that no hairs, fibers, sand particles or other foreign matter stick not only to the O-ring, but also to the contact surface (front cover). Even a single hair or a single grain of sand may cause water leakage. Please check with special care.
