Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Aqua Lung EPG
®
electronic pressure gauge. The
EPG is the world’s first stand-alone electronic pressure gauge that gives a digital read out of
cylinder pressure, temperature, remaining air time, and time of day. It also has a remaining air
time bar graph for quick reference. The EPG uses an electroluminescent (EL) backlight called
Digilite™ and the AutoEL
™ technology. Unlike other backlights, the Digilite™ lights up the
numbers and characters, not the background. The AutoEL
™
feature automatically activates the
backlight when any of the warnings are sounded, a great feature when diving at night or in low
light conditions. The AutoEL
™ feature can be turned on or off. The EPG has audible alarms that
you can set, including a low pressure alarm and a remaining air time alarm.
The EPG is a perfect complement to non air-integrated dive computers, like the ones found in
the Aqua Lung Pivot series. Since the EPG
®
is the same size as the Aqua Lung analog
pressure gauge, it will fit into the Aqua Lung Pivot
®
console boot. It will also fit into many other
consoles from other manufacturers.
As with all diving equipment, it is crucial to understand the features and functions of the EPG
®
.
Before using the EPG ® , it is essential to read this manual in its entirety. Contained within this
easy to read manual are illustrations to aid you in the complete understanding of the EPG
®
.
Section 1 covers the operating instructions and explains all the modes and displays. Section 2
offers advise on care and maintenance, and instructions on changing the battery. Lastly,
Section 3 contains the technical specifications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The EPG gives true pressure and air time readings. Air time
is the amount of time until the cylinder pressure reaches 0 psi/bar. Before using
the EPG for the first time, set the low pressure alarm and air time alarm to a
comfortable margin. The default settings for these alarms are 500 psi (34.5 bar)
and 10 minutes, respectively. See page 5 for instructions on setting the alarms.
