orifice).
You can check the flow with a Stopwatch :
• Gas line connected to the O

tank
• open the tank
• on the SPG, level has to be upper than 150b
• close the tank
• Time the pressure decrease from 150b to 100b
You can estimate M3S valve flow thanks to this graph.

3.3.3 the ADV
The Triton’s ADV is adjustable. The adjustment of diluent can be done accurately thanks to
the spanner adjuster. The intermediate pressure of the diluent regulator must be setted up
to 8 to 8.5b for optimum performances of the ADV.
WARNING The couple Inflator hose / ADV connector have to be check before diving. Make
sure ADV gives you diluent propely when fired.
3.3.4 Cell calibration and PpO

display set-up
While using a rebreather, it is not enough to get only a quantitative information on the gas
but it is also necessary to get a qualitative information in real time about the gases which
are contained inside the loop.
It is necessary to dive only with correctly calibrated cells in order to be sure to have a correct
information during the dive.
