2.7 - XS Compact Pro / XS Compact 2nd Stage
The line of XS Compact second stages features revolutionary
“downstream” regulators that are lightweight (just 135 gr - the
lightest in the Cressi-sub line), with incredibly sleek design.
Designed with meticulous attention to materials, they offer many
new characteristics covered by numerous patents, and are man-
ufactured in two specific versions: XS Compact PRO and XS
Compact.
The XS Compact PRO is paired only in combination with the MC9
S.C. first stage, since it is designed for specific use in cold water
(T<10°C), thanks to the revolutionary technology in the second
stage case material, which is manufactured with the new ther-
moconductive technopolymer. This material, thanks to its high
thermal conductivity, guarantees advanced heat exchange be-
tween ambient temperature and the internal temperature in the
regulator, preventing icing phenomena in the second stage, which
is generally due to the formation of micro-crystals of ice (the result
of the natural humidity inside the second stage), following an
abrupt drop in the temperature of the air arriving from the first
stage which, as it expands during inhalation inside the second
stage, in cold water can drop to a few degrees below zero.
� WARNING: In the case of dives in cold water (temperatures
lower than 10°C/50° F), Cressi-sub recommend using a tank
supplied with a valve featuring two separate outlet ports, with
which two complete regulators can be connected.
� WARNING: diving in cold water at temperatures lower than
10°C/50 °F requires special technical training. Cressi-sub rec-
ommends this sort of diving only after having attended a spe-
cial training course by certified trainers. The use of underwater
equipment without a licence or adequate training may be dan-
gerous for the diver’s health safety and can even be deadly.
The regulator must absolutely not get wet or be exposed to
freezing air before use. Do not press the discharge button, par-
ticularly when the Venturi effect adjustment lever is on “dive”. If
possible, keep the regulator in a warm place before use.
The XS Compact model however, is sold in combination with dif-
ferent Cressi-sub first stages, always maintaining the same com-
ponents and the same functions, while varying in each type the
color of the caps. All types of XS Compact second stage are de-
signed for use in warm water (>10°C/50°F) and guarantee the
easiest use to both the beginner and the most experienced diver,
offering a complete range of regulators for any type of use.
The case of the XS Compact second stage is made of a new elas-
tic techno-polymer that offers excellent mechanical qualities and
that is extremely carefully finished, including 3D photo-incision anti-
scratch treatment to protect it from shocks and abrasions to
make it exceptionally durable.
