Regulator Owner’s Manual
............................................................................................
WARNING: These regulators fitted with special connections
should be used only with complementary equipment (tank
valves, tanks, pressure gauges, etc.) designed and prepared for
use with an oxygen-enriched mixture. These items are marked
Nitrox/O2.
WARNING: If the regulator that you use is fitted with a yoke or
DIN connection, it is designed for use only with compressed
breathing air (21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen) which meets the
EN12021 standard. DO NOT USE this equipment with other
mixtures or with gases containing more than 21% oxygen.
Disregarding this rule could result in serious injury or death
caused by fire or explosion.
Every Nitrox/O2 regulator is assembled in a clean workshop, using
compatible components and special lubricants. It is important to maintain
the interior of the regulator in a clean state. Breathing air used in the
production of a mixture should be oxygen compatible and double filtered
with a hydrocarbon content not greater than 0.1 mg/m3. Your Apeks
technical specialist should be able to help you determine if the breathing
air he supplied meets these criteria.
