XSTREAM USER MANUAL
General safety regulations
Although the regulator is functional with pure oxygen and has excellent breathing
characteristics down to 200m (656 ft), the usage is restricted by human
limitations, or, by limitations set out by the dive training organisation, whichever
is lower.
Poseidon only warrants the regulator performance as specified herein, and
cannot be held responsible for improper preparations, incorrect gas mixing and
planning, or diving beyond individual medical, psychological and physical
limitations.
Limitations of use:
Xstream Deco, Oxygen and Duration models no higher oxygen content than
99,95% by volume.
Xstream Deep models manufactured after 2015 are Nitrox Ready with a maximum
oxygen content of EAN 40, and a maximum Helium content of 94% Xstream Dive
and octopus only for use with air and a maximum depth of 50 meters.
Maximum depth never more than 200 meters (656 ft), but normally limited by
medical effects of the gas.
The oxygen partial pressure must normally not exceed 1.4 bar (20.3 psi), under
the foreseeable maximum diving depth. Only if established oxygen exposure
tables are strictly adhered to, and a responsible organisation is planning dives with
increased exposures, elevated levels can be accepted for a shorter period of time.
The oxygen partial pressure must never be lower than 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), under the
foreseeable minimum diving depth.
The nitrogen partial pressure must not exceed 3.2 bar (46.4 psi), under the
foreseeable maximum diving depth. Inhaling cold gas and exhaling warmed gas,
represents energy losses of the human body (thermal imbalance, hypothermia).
This effect increases with increasing depth and can result in a sudden
unconsciousness. Diving to extreme depths this effect must be considered,
calculated and planned for and preventive actions must be taken, such as proper
thermal protection and pre-heated gas.
Xstream is for unlimited use in water temperatures from water freezing
temperature tice +1°C to +50°C (122°F). The freezing temperature depends on
salt content. Diving with gas blends other than air, or deeper than 18 m (59 ft), or
