It is available in various finishes, including Stainless Steel and Titanium options, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
Uppsetningarleiðbeiningar
- Skoðaðu íhluti: Before installation, ensure all components are present and free from damage. Verify that the necessary adapters for your BCD are included. The SS1 is designed to be compatible with most BCD brands, and specific adapters may be required.
- Connect to BCD: Attach the SS1 unit to your BCD's corrugated inflator hose. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leaks. If your BCD requires a specific adapter, install it first according to the adapter's instructions, then connect the SS1.
- Connect Low-Pressure Hose: Connect the low-pressure inflator hose from your first stage regulator to the SS1's low-pressure port. Hand-tighten the connection securely.
- Athugun á virkni: After installation, connect your first stage to a charged scuba cylinder. Slowly open the cylinder valve. Check for any audible air leaks. Test the BCD inflation and deflation buttons, and perform a few test breaths from the SS1 mouthpiece to ensure proper air delivery.
Notkunarleiðbeiningar
Using as an Alternate Air Source (Octopus)
- In an out-of-air emergency, the SS1 serves as a reliable alternate air source.
- Present the SS1 mouthpiece to your buddy. The high-flow design ensures easy breathing with minimal effort, similar to a primary regulator.
- Ensure the mouthpiece is cleared of water before breathing.
Using as a BCD Inflator/Deflator
- Verðbólga: Press the designated inflation button (typically located on the top or side) to add air to your BCD. Release the button to stop inflation.
- Verðhjöðnun: Press the designated deflation button (typically located on the bottom or side) to release air from your BCD. Release the button to stop deflation.
- Familiarize yourself with the location and feel of both buttons before diving.

- Þurrkun: Allow the unit to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area before storage. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Geymsla: Store the SS1 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.
- Tæringarþol: The SS1 is constructed from high-quality Stainless Steel or Titanium (depending on the model), offering excellent corrosion resistance. However, proper rinsing and care are still essential to maintain its integrity.
- Fagleg þjónusta: It is recommended to have your SS1 professionally serviced by an authorized Atomic Aquatics technician annually or after every 100 dives, whichever comes first. This ensures optimal performance and safety.
