2. System Description
When using the Analyzer for diving applications with mixed gases other than air, you must first obtain
proper instruction from a certified diving instructor with a nationally recognized training agency
qualified in mixed gas diving. Improper use of this analyzer may result in incorrect gas analysis which
can lead to serious personal injury or death.
Although the Analyzer is a rugged instrument, careless handling or abuse may result in damage to the
Analyzer resulting in inaccurate gas analysis. Inaccurate gas analysis can lead to serious personal
injury or death.
Breathing gas must always be analyzed by two separate Analyzers, with one used for gas production
and one used for analysis after production. Never depend on a single Analyzer during both gas
production and delivery. If the Analyzer readings do not agree, both units must be recalibrated.
Inaccurate gas analysis can lead to serious personal injury or death.
