Diving the BlueHeat™ Liner and Accessories
The following recommendations are made for non-overhead recreational
diving:
Activate your SBS™ just before entering the water. It is recommended that
you start at 50% power and allow your body temperature to stabilize and turn
the power level to the liner and/or accessories to the desired power setting
of 75% or 100% just prior to descending. It is recommended that the electric
heating elements be left on throughout the dive until the battery runs out or
the dive is concluded.
After exiting the water, turn the liner and accessory gloves and socks off.The
SBS™ should be unplugged from the battery pack once your dive gear has
been removed and the SBS™ is dry and in a dry environment before opening.
This will insure the maximum life out of your SBS™ battery pack.
!! WARNING !!
Do not wait until you "feel" chilled or cold to turn on
the System. Our testing has shown that divers who
become chilled are not able to be re-warmed by any
active heating system. While you would feel warmer,
your core temperature may not recover and you may
become hypothermic without being aware.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In the unlikely event the drysuit floods,
the System will still function properly
without causing harm to the diver. It is
recommended that the SBS™ be shut off
and the dive be aborted as quickly and
safely as possible.
In the unlikely event of a dive emergency,
the diver may disconnect the SBS™ cable
to the suit port.This will remove power to the liner and accessory gloves and
socks.
