FAQs

Is the Type 500 completely waterproof?

Yes, it is IP67 certified, meaning it is dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water.

Does it come with foam inserts?

The specific Type 500 model listed features an empty interior, allowing you to customize it with your own preferred organization method.

Can this case be taken on an airplane?

Yes, its size generally meets carry-on requirements, though you should always check with your airline for specific dimensions.

What is the operating temperature range?

The case is designed to function between -30 °C and +80 °C.

What does MIL-STD-810 mean?

It indicates that the case has been tested against environmental stressors including vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures to meet military durability standards.

Troubleshooting

Case is difficult to open after air travel

The pressure equalization valve may be working correctly, but sometimes a vacuum is created. Ensure the valve is not blocked and manually check the seal integrity.

Water leakage detected during immersion

Check the rubber O-ring seal for any hairs, dirt, or debris. Clean the seal and the groove with a soft brush and ensure it is seated correctly before closing.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup for this case is simple: because it ships with an empty interior, you should measure your intended equipment and purchase appropriate foam or divider systems to ensure items stay immobile.

Care Instructions:
