Programmable, Submersible Live Vest User Manual copyright Oceanic Safety Systems LLC., 2014
The actuator display locks up or makes a nonstandard display:
Some symptoms you might see
include a slow screen refresh, failure to respond to a button press, or any unusual response. Reset the
system by turning off the unit for a second. Locking or freezing of the PSLV is very unusual. If it continues,
do not use the PSLV and return the PSLV for service with a brief description of the problems you ob-
served.
The Actuator display is blank:
This will occur when the battery charge is exhausted. This condition
may also indicate a serious problem such as an electrical failure possibly due to a water leak or a critical
component failure. Return to OSS for repairs with an explanation of the problem.
The Actuator fails to cause inflation:
This is most likely due to a failed internal motor or a frozen
actuator spring. Return to OSS for repair.
The PSLV inflation bladder leaks air after inflation:
Use the oral inflation hose to fill the vest then
observe it submerged in a bucket of water. Possible leak points include the oral inflation adapter, the
OPV, the connections on each end of the inflation hose, or a puncture of the inflation bladder. In most
cases, you will need to return the PSLV for service.
Only one cylinder discharges:
Examine cartridges after activation to make sure both are pierced. A
non-pierced cartridge indicates the cylinder was not screwed in all the way or there is a failure in the
mechanism; return to OSS for repair.
XIII. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Warning
UPON ENCOUNTERING ANY UNUSUAL BEHAVIOR OF YOUR PSLV OR ANY
OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED BELOW, DISCONTINUE THE USE OF THE PSLV
IMMEDIATELY AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPAIR OF EACH TYPE OF
PROBLEM. DO NOT USE THE PSLV UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECTIFIED.
XII. WARNING ERROR MESSAGES
The “Send” screen:
This message indicates that the internal motor has reached its useful
life and needs to be replaced. This message does not appear until well over 100 firings of the PSLV has
occurred, which is highly unlikely in routine use. Return to OSS for service.
WATER PRESSURE
SENSOR FAILURE:
The water pressure sensor is reporting out-of-bounds readings.
Return to OSS for service. The red LED turns on, and the remote
blinks an “S-O-S” message.
LOW BATTERY:
This warning begins when the battery level reaches 10% battery life
remaining. At 10% the red LED blinks to draw your attention to the
low battery level. At 0% battery life, the red LED is solid. Recharge
the battery. Additionally, the red LED on the remote turns on, and
blinks an “S-O-S” message. If the battery life is short, you should
return to OSS for a replacement.
MOTOR FAILURE:
The electronic trigger motor has failed, while the unit will still inflate
manually, please return your PSLV for immediate repair.
