CHAPTER 1 SAFETY NOTICE This unit must only be operated by suitably qualified personnel. Read the instructions thoroughly before operating this equipment. Only genuine manufacturer's spare parts may be used and the substitution of parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and may cause damage to the equipment.
CHAPTER 3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The DIVEX two-diver, Surface Control, H.P./L.P. air panel will supply low pressure breathing air to two divers working simultaneously, to a depth of 60 metres in fresh or salt water. The panel contains four completely separate high pressure lines, two for each diver.
CHAPTER 4 INSTALLATION (Refer to Drawing PP33110S1 Using a high pressure air supply. Ensure all on/off valves are in the OFF position. Ensure the H.P. / L.P. regulator controls are turned fully anti-clockwise. Connect the H.P. hose assembly to the high pressure air cylinders, ensuring that the cylinder valves remain in the OFF position.
CHAPTER 5 PRE-DIVE CHECK With all lines connected and the diver dressed in all his equipment but holding the face/mask helmet, turn on the H.P. cylinder. Turn on the H.P. inlet valve slowly (3). Read the H.P. inlet pressure (4). Ensure that there is adequate cylinder pressure. Use the H.P./ L.P.
CHAPTER 6 OPERATION The panel works automatically but the operator should continuously monitor the H.P. / L.P. air supply and the L.P. supply to the diver (s). When the diver is descending and ascending, the control panel operator may have to adjust the H.P.
CHAPTER 7 PNEUMO OPERATION The divers’ depths can be read from the pneumo gauges (13). Turn on the pneumo valve (6) to supply air to the pneumo hose in the umbilical and allow the air to flow for enough time to ensure it is bubbling out of the open, diver end.
CHAPTER 8 CYLINDER CHANGE OVER Slowly turn on the reserve air supply via the H.P. inlet valve (7). Confirm there is an increase in pressure on the H.P. gauge (4). Turn off the original air supply at the H.P. inlet valve (3). Purge the H.P.
CHAPTER 9 AUXILIARY LOW PRESSURE INLET The panel has the facility for an auxiliary low pressure inlet. This low pressure air supply must not exceed 15 Bar. To use, connect the supply hose to the L.P. inlet and direct the supply to the appropriate diver using one of the red-handled auxiliary valves (8).
CHAPTER 10 LOW H.P. WARNING 10.1 The system comprises a battery pack (9), pressure switch, warning On/Off switch (10), red warning LED (11) and a high frequency buzzer (12). During normal operation, the On/Off switch (10) must be in the on position. The pressure switch is set to operate when the H.P.
Servicing must be carried out by an approved engineer, trained by the manufacturer in the correct maintenance of the regulator (4). If no local approved engineer is available, the units must be returned to DIVEX for service. The only permissible routine service is to clean the filter, located between the regu- lator and the H.P.

Remove the panel from the case. Locate and remove the filter. Unscrew the end pieces and remove the filter element. Clean and replace all items in reverse order. Ensure spill valve exhaust port is kept open. 11.8 Gauges These should be inspected on a regular basis to check for fluid loss. Also ensure that the pointer returns to zero when the pressure is released.
CHAPTER 12 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - 6 MONTHLY 12.1 Inspect lid and outer casing for damage. Check hinges and catches for correct operation. 12.2 Remove H.P. Panel Valve. Disassemble as described in Section 11.5 Inspect. Wipe clean with a high quality industrial wiper, lubricate with approved grease and re- assemble.
