DATALINK
DataLink is a high pressure quick disconnect designed to offer additional protection for
your instrument console. It allows you to quickly and easily remove the HP hose and instru-
ment console from the regulator first stage without any tools. It should be oriented so it is
best protected from collisions with objects while underwater. DataLink can be purchased
from an Authorized Oceanic Dealer.
WARNING: Proper installation of the DataLink is essential for it to function
properly. It must be installed only by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer.
Connecting Your Console with a DataLink:
 Ensure that the regulator system is purged of all breathing gas.
 Push the hose portion of the disconnect firmly into the first stage portion.
 While holding the two portions together with one hand, turn the locking ring of the
first stage portion clockwise (as viewed from the first stage) until it stops (hand tight).
DO NOT overtighten or use tools.
