This User’s Guide is NOT intended for use as a training manual, or in any way as a substitute for proper training through a legitimate training agency approved by Poseidon AB. It is only intended to provide basic information concerning the Poseidon Xstream. Throughout this Guide, special alert boxes have been inserted to draw attention to critical information. - Page 6 Careless can cause serious injury or death. It is the user’s responsibility to attentively monitor the Poseidon Xstream 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. -

Page 10: General Safety Regulations
Poseidon only warrants the regulator performance as specified herein, and cannot be held responsible for improper preparations, incorrect gas mixing and planning, or diving beyond individual medical, psychological and physical limitations. - Page 11 O2 clean at all times. If an Xstream Oxygen, Deco or Duration regulator is contaminated or used with a contaminated fill then the regulator must be O2 cleaned by a certified Poseidon technician. Xstream Deep manufactured after 2015 is Nitrox ready from factory and when serviced, an O2 compatible lubricant should be used.

The dead air space is low at just 49.5 ml (3 in3) making CO2 figures (hypercapnia) minimal. Inhalation resistance is incredibly low and unaffected by depth and breathing pattern Because of the unique Poseidon valve technology, there is no need for external adjustments. Xstream is fitted with the new ergonomic mouthpiece Poseidon AIR, with asymmetrical lugs for the most comfortable bite. -

XSTREAM USER MANUAL exhalation. A minimal number of moving parts, coupled with thermodynamic engineering, ensures the safe use in an extremely cold environment. XSTREAM 1:ST STAGE In case of a malfunction in the 1st stage causing excessive intermediate pressure, the safety valve integrated in the 1st stage will bleed off the excessive gas. -

Patented e.g. first stage mounted HP sender/receive units. POSEIDON T.D.A Xstream has a built-in Poseidon T.D.A, ThermoDynamic Anti-freeze, which requires no maintenance. It is always there, doing the job. It is thermodynamically protecting the parts which must not freeze. -

Page 18: Mounting The Hose
XSTREAM USER MANUAL General safety regulations MOUNTING THE HOSE First time mounting the hose of the length you have chosen, start with unscrewing the blind-screw (5mm allen-key) where you want the 2nd stage. Be careful not to contamine either the open port or the hose end. - Page 19 XSTREAM USER MANUAL • A safety system, including at least one of the following: - A submersible pressure - A reserve valve - An active low pressure warning device 1. Always check the gas-content of the cylinder before attaching the regulator. 2.
- Page 20 XSTREAM USER MANUAL OXYGEN ALERT! Slow opening of the cylinder valve is the best way to protect the system from compression shocks. Rapid openings represents the highest risk for fire due to compression shock. To ensure a slow opening it is good practice to use both hands, one on top of the other. Always open the cylinder, and isolator valves if used, first fully and then a 1⁄2 turn back.

Page 21: Diving
XSTREAM USER MANUAL DIVING What is most distinctive about the Xstream is that it is easy to use – there aren’t any valves or switches to change the flow of gas, reducing breathing performance, etc. You can leave the function and performance of the regulator in our hands and concentrate on what you want to do - dive. - Page 22 XSTREAM USER MANUAL 2. After rinsing, close the cylinder valve and purge the regulator. 3. Unscrew the regulator from the tank. Check that the protective cap is free from water and debris, then mount the protective cap onto the connection. The regulator should not be stored in direct sunlight and/or at high temperatures.

• 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. -
