4.1. Install the Transmitter
Before using the AI system, you will need to install one or
more transmitters on a scuba tank first stage regulator.
The transmitter must be installed on a first stage port labeled
"HP" (high pressure). Use a first stage regulator with at least
two HP ports, so that a backup analog submersible pressure
gauge (SPG ) can be used�

limited to approximately 3 ft (1 m)�
A high-pressure hose may be used to relocate the transmitter
for better reception or convenience� Use hoses rated for a
working pressure of 4500 PSI (300 Bar) or higher�
Use a wrench (5/8") to tighten or
