Careless can cause serious injury or death. It is the user’s responsibility to attentively monitor the Poseidon Cyklon and to have a working knowledge of the procedures if a problem should arise.
Your new regulator has been designed to provide you with a life time of pleasure as a POSEIDON diver. Our objective is that the equipment you use should not be noticeable, instead it should be at one with the experience and give you total freedom to achieve what every diver dreams about, the ultimate dive.
CYKLON USER MANUAL Approvals/Certifications Cyklon 5000 / Cyklon Metal is approved according to the EU Directive for Personal Protective Equipment, 89/686/EEC and meets or exceeds the applicable (see Technical Data for full detail). Type approvement certificate 955599S01 is issued by:...
CYKLON USER MANUAL Definitions/Abbrevations Oxygen: any gas mixture containing greater than 21% oxygen up to 99.95% oxygen. Trimix: a gaseous mix containing Oxygen, Nitrogen and Helium. EAN 40: any gas mixture containing greater than 21% oxygen up to 40%. Enriched Air Nitrox. IP: Interstage pressure;...
CYKLON METAL (ART. NR 3950 M / 3950 M10) The first thing you should do, when you’ve bought a new Cyklon 5000 / Cyklon Metal regulator, is to check and make sure that all parts are included in the package.
LIMITATIONS OF USAGE: Cyklon 5000 / Cyklon Metal / Cyklon Octopus / Cyklon Metal Octopus only for use with air or Trimix with a maximum oxygen content of 21%. The oxygen partial pressure must normally not exceed 1.4 bar (20.3 psi), under the foreseeable maximum diving depth.

CYKLON USER MANUAL and medical understanding. This manual assumes the reader has some basic knowledge in those respects. Diving is a strenuous physical activity. Its difficulty may be increased by conditions such as cold water, poor visibility, hard work, and increased depth. Always try to exercise prudent judgement when determining whether or not to dive.
Poseidon equipment. • The Poseidon Low pressure hoses are equipped with an inspection hole, allowing you to verify that the hose and connection are properly assembled. Before each use, verify that you can see the rubber hose in the inspection hole.
We recommend that maintenance service should be performed about once every 100 dives or biannual, whatever comes first. Maintenance service should be performed by a service technician that is certified to service Poseidon equipment and only Poseidon original parts should be used.
That’s why it’s important that you use an original Poseidon low pressure hose to your Cyklon second stage and do not use force or modifications to attach other brand’s low pressure hoses to a Cyklon second stage.
CYKLON USER MANUAL MOUNTING THE REGULATOR ON A TANK The procedure below only describes the way you mount the regulator and it does not replace all the steps you’ve learnt during your dive training. • Carefully open the tank valve and clear any dirt/debris/water in the valve connection.
CYKLON USER MANUAL During a Dive What is most distinctive about the Cyklon is that they are easy to use – there aren’t any valves or switches to change the flow of air, breathing resistance, etc. You can leave the function and performance of the regulator in our hands and concentrate on what you want to do - dive.
If you suspect water has entered the first stage we recommend that you let a service technician, certified to service/repair Poseidon equipment, disassemble your first stage to dry and clean it. • The regulator should be rinsed in fresh water after every dive so as to avoid salt crystal formation around the functional parts.

What is most distinctive about the After every dive the equipment should be cleaned according to the instructions in ”After diving.” The regulator does not have to be lubricated beyond what is done by Poseidon or when serviced. It is, however, recommended that you regularly lubricate the o-rings located on the low- and high pressure hoses and the first stage DIN connection.
• Interstage pressure (IP) and safety valve opening pressure is preset by Poseidon and readjustment is prohibited. Readjustment of IP will never boost performance. • The use of accessories which have not been recommended can seriously impair the function of your equipment.
