Regulator Owner’s Manual
............................................................................................
As stated in the minimum safety requirements for such products EN250
Respiratory equipment – Open-circuit self-contained compressed
air diving apparatus; ‘if SCUBA is configured for and used by more than
one diver at the same time, then it shall not be used at depths greater than
30m and in water temperatures less than 10°C’. Although these minimum
requirements only require an Auxiliary Emergency Breathing System
(Octopus) to be tested and restricted to 30 metres, (98ft) and 10°C (50°F),
Apeks recognises that diving occurs beyond these limits and emergencies
can happen. To ensure Apeks products perform well in all conditions in
this type of situation, Apeks has designed, tested and has CE approval for
our products to far exceed these minimum requirements. This means any
Octopus will match the performance of the primary demand regulators they
are intended to work with, in water temperatures below 10°C (50°F) where
stated, and to depths of at least 50 metres (164ft).
NOTE: All MTX and MTX-R variants have been tested to 60 meters
(197ft) in temperatures below 10°C (50°F),
As a user you can be confident that in an emergency or an out of gas
situation, your regulator can cope with the extra demand of your buddy
breathing from your Octopus and safely supply enough gas for you both in
all conditions you may be faced with.
WARNING: If Auxiliary Emergency Breathing Systems (Octopus)
are to be used you must ensure that: The first stage selected
is designed, tested and is CE marked for use with two second
stages, suitable for use at varying water temperatures and depth.
The equipment can, if required, be used as an escape device
by more than one diver at the same time. Your equipment is
maintained in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.
Usually annually inspected and serviced. See section Dealer
Service and Repair.
NOTE: See section on Markings and Abbreviations, which explains
how you can identify if your product is suitable for these conditions.
