19 MSL 72.140 Jetsam/Explorer R.1
EXPLORER
WITH
ON-BOARD
OXYGEN
ONLY
This
system
is
for
divers
who
wish
to
have
redundant
oxygen.
These
divers
feel
that
having
only
one
oxygen
cylinder
for
a
technical
dive,
is
the
weak
link
of
the
system.
With
this
configuration,
the
divers
diluent
gas
is
the
side
mount/bailout
gas.
*WARNING:
As
always,
all
dives
should
be
conducted
with
the
appropriate
gear,
training
and
mind
set.
If
any
one
of
these
is
lacking,
death
could
result!
With this system, divers would plumb their side mount cylinders into the Explorer using the off-board acces-
sory. With the side mount cylinders attached to the loop via the off-board accessory, gas can be added to the
loop in two ways. First by using the ADV and second by using the mouthpiece. Also, open circuit gas can be
breathed via the rebreather mouthpiece. As the side mount cylinder is also the bail out cylinder, divers should
have a bail out regulator attached to these cylinders.
*WARNING:
Diving
the
bail
out/side
mount
cylinders
WITHOUT
second
stages
should
not
be
done.
If
the
rebreather
mouthpiece
for
any
reason
fails,
then
the
bail
out
gas
would
not
be
accessible.
Also,
divers
should
ensure
that
they
plan
their
dives
appropriately
and
take
in
consideration
their
gear
configuration
as
well
as
their
buddies
gear
configuration.
Ensure
that
all
divers
are
properly
trained
for
the
planned
dives
and
that
they
understand
each
oth-
ers
gear.
Failure
to
do
so,
may
result
in
injury
or
death!
*WARNING:
If
you
are
going
to
dive
this
system,
with
two
on-board
oxygen
cylinders,
you
MUST
remove
the
21”
LP
hose
and
adapter,
which
runs
from
the
manifold
to
the
diluent
first
stage.
If
you
do
not
do
this,
you
will
be
adding
both
pure
oxygen
from
the
left
on-board
cyl-
inder
and
also
diluent
from
your
side
mount
cylinder
through
the
ADV!!
The
ADV
should
ONLY
add
the
gas
from
the
side
mount
diluent
cylinder!!
If
oxygen
is
in
the
left
side
cylin-
der,
it
must
ONLY
be
added
to
the
rebreather
using
the
left
oxygen
gas
addition
valve.
Div-
ing
in
this
manner
presents
challenges
and
therefore
it
is
only
for
those
with
advanced
div-
ing
experience
and
adequate
training!!!
If
divers
are
using
large
side
mount
cylinders
that
are
attached
to
the
system
in
the
water,
they
need
to
understand
that
the
ADV
will
not
work
until
the
side
mount
cylinder
is
attached,
using
the
off-board
accessory.
SEE
PAGE
13.
Having
two
on-board
oxygen
cylinders
means
that
divers
need
to
pay
special
attention
to
their
PPO2’s!!
The
PPO2
will
creep
up
if
no
diluent
is
being
added!
The
ADV
and
the
mouthpiece/open-circuit
will
not
work
until
the
off-board
accessory
is
connected!
The
KISS
Explorer
was
meant
to
be
used
with
the
off-board
accessory
in
place.
Diving
without
it
means
that
not
all
the
components
will
work!!
If
you
are
planning
on
diving
this
configuration,
ensure
that
you
have
the
proper
training
and
skills.
This
is
not
meant
for
beginner
rebreather
divers!
It
is
for
experience
rebreather
divers
with
proper
training
and
experience!
Those that wish to dive this configuration should choose the left side oxygen gas
addition valve with no flow. It is oxygen clean. The diluent valve should not be
used as the flow is high for oxygen! This valve is similar to the right side oxygen manual add valve, but it
DOES NOT HAVE AN ORIFICE. It is plugged. The only way the oxygen goes into the breathing loop is by push-
ing the button. This is a multi purpose valve as it can be used with other gas mixtures.
