Programmable, Submersible Live Vest User Manual copyright Oceanic Safety Systems LLC., 2014
CHARGER:
Input: 120/240 V ac; Output 8.4 V dc at 1Amp. Charge time 4 to 8 hours.
POWER:
Lithium Ion Battery nominal voltage 7.4 V; Factory replaceable battery, recommended every 5
years; Fully Charged Voltage: 8.4 V; Low Battery Message 7 V; Battery life 30 8-hour days; Computer/
Console circuit board 3.3 V dc. To help preserve battery charge, the actuator automatically turns off afer
24 hours of inactivity—24 hours from last dive or button press.
DISPLAY SCREENS SURFACE:
Battery level, Surface Minder option, Trigger time, Trigger depth and
Error message screens.
DISPLAY SCREENS DURING DIVING:
Alternating current time with current depth screens, which are
not normally observed.
OPERATIONAL ACCURACY:
Depth: two centimeters; Timers: 1 second per day.
ALTITUDE AND ATMOSPHERIC CALIBRATION:
The
PSLV
computer automatically adjusts for
altitude and atmospheric pressure changes each time the
PSLV
is turned on.
DIVE MODE ACTIVATION
: Dive starts when descends past 1 meter from 0; Dive ends when ascends
past one meter.
OPERATING TEMPERATURES:
Out of water—between 20 °F and 140 °F (-6 and 60 °C).In the
water—28 °F and 95 °F (-2 and 35 °C) At extremely low temperatures, the LCD may become sluggish,
but this will not affect its accuracy. If stored or transported in extremely low temperature areas (below
freezing), you should warm the unit and its battery before diving; Storage Temperature: Out of the water
(in storage bag) - between 14 °F and 158 °F (-8 and 70 °C). Because of variations in battery
performance at low temperatures, we recommend that you do not use the unit in freezing conditions with
less than a 50% incdicated battery level.
INFLATION VEST:
Overpressure valve spring opening pressure 2.5 lbs; Bladder material, Coast Guard
approved, 200 denier urethane coated high-count nylon—tensil strength 130 lbs, adhesion breaking 64
lbs. Bladder provides 50 pounds of inflation at the surface AND at 25 feet underwater.
MAXIMUM DEPTH:
100 meters (328 feet).
CO2 CARTRIDGES:
CO2 cylinders provide the inflation source. They must be 1/2 inch X 20 threads
and sized appropriately for the bladder used for inflation, and they must be “low force piercing”
specifically designed for use in automatic life vests.
RoHS COMPLIANT MATERIALS USED (Lead Free electronics and solder):
RoHS regulations, a
European Union Directive, restrict the use of more than mandated levels of lead, cadmium, mercury,
hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame
retardants in electronic equipment.
XIV. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
The buttons do not work properly:
This is usually a sign that water has entered the system. Do not
use, and return to OSS for repair.
You hear bubbles in your PSLV , or your bladder fills with water.
Sometimes the bladders will
develop a small leak that will allow both water and/or air to enter. You can test this simply with an oral, or
command inflation. It should not leak. If it leaks, return it for repair. To clear the vest of any air, dunk the
vest in a pail of water, hold the oral inflator above the water and depress the valve, while rotating the
lapels so that any residual air will exit the oral inflator.
