0.0035 orifice
Note that some of these pressure se ngs are beyond the recommended adjustment range
of the regulator and may result in erra c performance. Use at your own risk!
These figures are typical but not absolute due to slight varia ons in the accuracy of the gauge and the tolerance of the
metering orifice. If your flow rates are more than 15% different than these, see the troubleshoo ng guide to determine
the problem.
To change the pressure use a 6mm hex key to turn the regulator adjustor under the black plas c plug. Clockwise in‐
creases the pressure, counter clockwise reduces the pressure. Turn the wrench slowly and do not insert it too far into
the regulator or it will hit the diaphragm and cause the pressure to surge.
So where should the flow rate be set? 0.75 LPM is a good star ng point. If you find you have to constantly add oxygen,
try increasing the se ng by 0.05 LPM. The PP02 should slowly rise when you are hanging mo onless in the water but
you should have to add 02 at regular intervals during the dive when maintaining a constant depth. The metering orifice
flow rate will decrease as the depth (ambient pressure) increases. The amount it decreases depends on the upstream
pressure (regulator pressure se ng) versus the downstream pressure (depth). This is not a fault, it is physics.
