Presentation

Congratulations on your recent purchase of a BEUCHAT
regulator and thank you for tour support. BEUCHAT regu-
lators, manufactured with corrosion resistant materials,
use the most modern techniques for optimum air delive-
ry and comfort during the dive. Diving regulators deliver
air at current ambient pressure upon demand. The use of
regulators requires proper training by a certified agency.

IMPORTANT :

The use of regulators in sport diving is limited to depth of
120 feet / 40 meters. This depth limit can be extended to
150 feet / 50 meters, for professional use. To exceed these
limits may lead to high risk situations (narcosis, etc..).
1 > USE :
A regulator must be used in combination with a pressure
gauge. The regulator can mounted on a diving cylinder in
either of two configurations :
• Yoke connector (up to 3000/3300 psi / 200/230 bars)
ISO/DIS 1209-1 : 1998
• 200/230 and 300 bars DIN connector (up to 3000/3300
or 4400 psi) ISO/DIS 1209-2 & 3 : 1998

WARNING : This regulator, complying with EN 250, is
not intended for more than one diver to breathe from at
the same time.
If this regulator is configured and used by more than one
diver at the same time, then cold water and breathing
performance may not fulfill the requirements of EN 250.
RECOMMENDATIONS :
A regulator will offer optimum performance in the follo-
wing situations :
• Water temperature between 50 F to 95 F.
• Air supply must be conform to the breathing air standard.
• BEUCHAT regulators are equipped with low pressure
(LP) ports of 3/8" and high pressure (HP) ports of 7/16".
Buoyancy compensators LP hose and drysuit hose can be
installed on available LP ports. The pressure gauge needs
to be installed on the HP port. For added security, the use
of a cylinder with dual outlet valve (Y-valve) will allow for
a secondary back-up regulator.
