More over, Ellipse Balanced can be used in cold water at temper-
ature lower than 10C/ 50°F, thanks to its valve’ s special design.
The valve inner finning in fact exploits the temperature caused by
the diver’ s breathing and allows a remarkable thermal recharge
around the valve nozzle, where the freezing risk is the highest.
This patented system improves dramatically the regulator’ s
antifreezing quality.
� WARNING: In case of dives in cold water (temperature
less than 10°C/50° F), Cressi-sub recommend to use a tank
supplied with a valve featuring two separate outlet ports, with
which two complete regulators are to be connected.
� WARNING: diving in cold water at temperature lower than
10°C/50 °F requires a special technical training. Cressi-sub
recommend such diving only after attending a special training
course by certified trainers. The use of underwater equipment
without a licence or an adequate training may be dangerous
for the diver’ s health and life. The regulator must not
absolutely get wet and exposed to freezing air before use.
Do not press the discharge button, particularly when the
Venturi effect adjustment lever is on “dive”. If possible, keep
the regulator in a warm place before use.
The 2nd stage is connected to one of the first stage’ s 3/8” ports
by means of a flexible medium pressure and high capacity hose.
All Cressi-sub second stages are downstream, that is the
valveautomatically opens in case of calibration loss of first stage
or of a sudden intermediate pressure increase.
This means that any condition of over pressure upstream the
second stage leads to automatic free flow, never causing thereg-
ulator to get stuck.
Ellipse Balanced’s case is in new techno-polymers showing ex-
cellent mechanic qualities, allowing as well to reduce noises re-
markably.
The new cap, featuring an attractive and aggressive esthetical
look, is manufactured with a special insert in titanium, material with
unequalled qualities of lightness and anticorrosion resistance.
It was computer designed, specially studying the water flow in-
side the front of the case, in order to optimize and further improve
Ellipse Balanced’ s already excellent performance.
Ellipse Balanced Cressi-sub complies with 89/686/EEC directive
of 21/12/1989, checked and certified by N. 0474 RINA – Genoa,
with tests in accordance with EN 250:2014 standard, which pro-
vides the requisites of III class Individual Safety Devices: the device
therefore is EC branded and reports the certifying institute indi-
cation (0474), as prescribed by Art. 11A of 89/686/EEC directive.

Disassembly and maintenance
By designing Ellipse Balanced, great attention has been paid as to
the simplicity and speed of disassembly and maintenance, un-
avoidable qualities for an always perfectly serviced, set and per-
forming regulator.
� WARNING: intermediate pressure must be set only at
authorized Cressi-sub centres, while the setting values can
NOT and must NOT be modified by the user, in order not to
affect the regulator’ s performance. Cressi-sub decline any
responsibility for any intervention carried out by unauthorized
personnel.
You can find your authorized Cressi-Sub center by
asking your dealer, or Cressi Sub S.p.A. itself (email:
info@cressi-sub.it).
Using the included Allen key to unscrew the HP and LP caps of the
first stage, you can open and disassemble the second stage, di-
rectly
getting to its inner mechanism. This unique and patented feature al-
lows to open the case in an extremely easy and quick way, toclean
it and check the perfect working of all its components.
