Before usage
Depth gauge:
Before diving, check the position of the depth indicating pointer. Atmospheric conditions
(altitude, temperature) may cause the point to not indicate zero. If this is the case, turn the ad-
justing screw located at the right side of the gauge to align the pointer to zero. The adjustment
is to be made at the temperature of usage. Repeated unnecessary adjustments may cause
excessive wear to the seals and eventual leakage.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to adjust the water entry port located at the left side of gauge. Tampering
with the port can cause damage to internal components. Do not pressure test gauge in air.
Always immerse the gauge in water while pressure testing it.
Pressure gauge:
The hose has an end fi tting with 7/16” 20 UNF-thread. If your regulator has a different thread
size in the high pressure (HP-output) port, ask your dealer for the correct adapter. Always
inspect the o-ring at the male thread to be sure it is clean and undamaged before connecting it
to the regulator.
Always turn your air supply on slowly. Always turn the pressure gauge dial face away from your
face when turning on the air supply.
Do not overtighten the hose at the gauge, the fi tting is pressure proof even when tightened with
fi ngers.
Service
Avoid subjecting the gauges to excessive shock loads such as those that might occur from
being dropped or hit against an immovable object. Do not subject the gauges to pressures
beyond their maximum range. Temperature extremes can be damaging. In general, the gauges
should not be exposed to temperatures to which you would not expose yourself.
After use:
Rinse the gauges or the console with fresh water and store them out of direct sunlight, in a dry
place at room temperature.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to clean the gauges with anything other than water. Use of cleaning agents
or compressed air can cause permanent damage. The introduction of any probe into the
water entry port of the depth gauge or the pressure relief valve opening of the pressure
gauge can also damage internal components.
Before prolonged storage the instruments should be removed from the console, rinsed with
fresh water and stored separately.
