The display window is permanently bonded to the instrument case to fully seal the
instrument. If the display window becomes damaged, the front part of the case must

1.6.4 Environmental Ratings
The Magna-Mike 8600 is an extremely rugged and durable instrument that can be
used in harsh environments. To classify the instrument’s durability in wet or damp
environments, Olympus has adopted the IP (ingress protection) system to rate how
well the instrument is sealed.
The Magna-Mike 8600 has been tested to the requirements of IP67. The instrument is
designed and manufactured to meet this level of ingress protection when it leaves the
factory. To maintain this level of 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. 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.
The Magna-Mike 8600 adheres to the environmental standards listed in Table 20 on
page 156.
