Tuning and Adjusting Dive Rite Regulators...
Page 39
1) Attach a second stage adjusting tool between the second stage and the low pressure hose. The first stage can also be connected to a overpressure valve 2) Close all other open ports with the appropriate plugs.
Page 40
3) Connect to a high pressure (3000 psi) gas source. 4) Open the supply pressure slowly. 5) Adjust the intermediate pressure by moving the adjusting screw to increase or decrease tension on the intermediate pressure spring. (Purge the second stage after each adjustment.) 6) The Intermediate pressure should be adjusted to 140 psi +/- 5psi.
Page 41
Tuning the Second Stages 1) Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise until it stops; this will set the second stage for the least resistance. 2) Using the second stage adjusting tool set the resistance to .8-1.0 inches of water. 3) Purge the regulator and observe the intermediate pressure. An intermediate pressure drop of 2-8 psi is considered acceptable Note: By setting the adjustment knob to the easiest setting, the diver can increase breathing resistance to his/her preference.
