Check before and after diving
The following points must be checked before each dive
5.1
Verify CO
2
cylinder
Unscrew the CO
2
cylinder and verify that there is
no visible piercing hole (see upper CO
2
cylinder in
the picture).
After checking make sure that the O-Ring in the
base unit is still on its position.
Screw the CO
2
cylinder firmly onto the base unit.
The sens07vest uses a standard CO
2
cylinder
with a 1/2-inch thread.
5.2
Check sens07vest components
The sens07vest consists of different me-
chanical components which needs to be
checked before starting a dive:
•
Bladder
: Verify the bladder for any hole or other kind of dam-
age. It is recommended to inflate the bladder every 2 years to
check it for holes.
•
Straps
: Verify if the straps are well sewed and the buckles are
not damaged.
•
Rubber parts
: Check if the rubber parts are not broken or brit-
tle.

5.3
Choosing the right CO2 cylinder & max. depth
The uplift of the sens07vest decreases with depth (see graphic)
and the negative buoyancy of the diver increases due to the wetsuit
compression and excessive weights.
Therefore there is a point where sens07vest can’t bring the diver
back to the surface anymore.
We recommend a maximal depth of 30m when using a 60gr. CO
2
cylinder or a maximal depth of 50m when using a 95 gr. CO
2
cylin-
der in order to get at least 8 kg uplift performance.
