| Battery (6v
Lithium) |
The preferred brand is Fujitsu Lithium 6
volt, type CRP2. In use this battery has proven to have a greater
capacity than other brands, giving proper solenoid operation within the
voltage warnings provided by the electronics and for longer life. |

| Depth Limits |
130' - Max. Depth with air diluent.
328' - Max. depth at which rebreather. parameters are proven; CO2
endurance, O2 control and work of breathing.
328' - the limit of the CE approval.
360' - Max. depth at which the work of breathing has been tested
using trimix diluent.
500' - Max. Depth at which the work of breathing has been tested with
an Heliox diluent.
525' - Depth at which all components are pressure tested during type
approval (not during production).WARNING:
Diving deeper than 130' carries the following additional risks.
Deeper than 330': CO2 endurance unknown.
Deeper than 330': Onboard decompression invalid.
Deeper than 360': Work of breathing with trimix diluent unknown.
Deeper than 426': Depth gauge inaccurate.
Deeper than 500': Work of breathing with an Heliox diluent unknown.
Deeper than 525': Structural integrity of components unknown - the air
cavity within the buzzer will implode, eventually and other components
may fail. |

| Rebreather
Operating Temperature Range |
+39°F(+4°C) to +90°F(+32°C)
Short term air storage (hours): +14°F(-10°C) to +122°F(+50°C)Long term storage:
+41°F(+5°C) to +68°F(+20°C)
The rebreather operating temperature range is
determined at the cold end by the CO2 duration trials, which are done at
7°F(4°C)(±1). Below this
temperature the duration of the CO2 absorbent has not been empirically
determined. If stored below 0°C the CO2 absorbent and electronics will
need gentle preheating prior to use by placing in a warmer room or by
submersing the assembled rebreather with mouthpiece closed (loop sealed)
until temperature of the equipment matches the ambient temperature.
Below 0°C the liquid crystal display in the handset freezes to a solid
black and is unusable. Water is an essential part of the CO2 absorption
reactions (approx. 17% of Sofnolime is water), below freezing point the
first reaction where CO2 and water react to form Carbonic acid cannot
take place. If a pre-breathing method of warming the Sofnolime is used,
this must be done on land under supervision. |
