Regulator Owner's Manual

............................................................................................

Servicing

Another unique safety feature of the Status regulator is that it

monitors the usage, in hours and calendar months, from when the

regulator is first used or last serviced. The diver is informed that the

first stage requires servicing by a flashing "SVC" indicator on the LCD

screen. This will occur when the regulator is initially pressurised. To

keep your regulator in premium condition it is vital that this is regularly

and correctly serviced. You will know by quick examination of the

display that your medium pressure is OK.

What is medium pressure?

All first stage regulators are designed to reduce the very high cylinder

pressure down to a more controllable medium or interstage pressure.

This medium pressure which is the driving force of the regulator, is

supplied to the second stage which in turn controls the supply of gas

to the diver. knowing the medium pressure is within its ideal operating

range, gives the diver full confidence that the first stage is at its

optimum before every dive.

Status

1/ Attach the Status to the cylinder valve as instructed in section

"Attaching the 1st Stage to the Cylinder Valve-Din."

Caution: Use a small amount of an appropriate lubricant (such as

Christo-Lube) LIGHTLY applied to the thread of the Din Handwheel

periodically. This prevents seizing on the Cylinder Valve. DO NOT

OVER LUBRICATE or apply to the internals of the handwheel or

cylinder valve gas-way.

2/ Then slowly open the cylinder valve.

3/ When the Status is pressurised the micro-electronics are

automatically activated.The Status will display its condition within

a 20 second time period.
