XS Scuba representative. EAN/ Nitrox Service Newly manufactured XS Scuba regulators are assembled and packaged to be compatible with oxygen enriched air (EAN/ Nitrox), not to exceed 40% oxygen content. If the regulator is going to be used for this application, however, it must be dedicated and clearly labled as such, in order to prevent any crossover use with standard compressed air.
AirWave Octo Facility Requirements As an Authorized XS Scuba Dealer, your customers expect you to provide top-notch overhaul service, both before and after the sale. Next to airfills and gas blending, it is the single most important com- modity your store can provide.
AirWave Octo Preliminary Inspection External Inspection 1. Closely examine the conical filter to check for any signs that contaminants have entered the system, including sea water, rust, or aluminum oxide. NOTE: A green discoloration of the filter indicates that moisture has entered the regulator, and internal corro- sion has possibly occurred.
AirWave Octo Disassembly Procedures General Guidelines ▼ Prior to performing any disassembly, check to ensure that the service facility is well equipped with all the tools and parts needed to perform a complete service from start to finish.

AirWave Octo Final Testing Procedures CAUTION: If the regulator will be used with EAN/ Nitrox, it is important to pressurize and flow test the regulator using only hydrocarbon-free gas. The regula- tor will otherwise become contaminated with hydrocar- bons if normal compressed air is used. Industrial grade compressed Nitrogen is strongly recommended as a lower cost alternative to EAN/ Nitrox for the purposes of flow testing.
