Environmental Ratings

The 38DL PLUS is a rugged and durable instrument that you may use in harsh
environments. The 38DL PLUS was designed to meet the requirement of the IP67
standard (Ingress Protection).
Olympus cannot guarantee any level of ingress protection performance once the
instrument seals have been manipulated. You must use sound judgment and take
proper precautions before exposing the instrument to harsh environments.
To maintain the original level of ingress protection, you are responsible for the proper
care of all routinely exposed membrane seals. Additionally, you are responsible for
returning the instrument to an authorized Olympus service center each year to ensure
that the instrument seals are properly maintained.
