Valve Set Up - Uwatec REBEL BC Manual

⚠ WARNING
The Ecoweight and Removable Pocket must be perfectly secured with the buckles fully
and correctly engaged: the loss of the pocket during diving causes positive buoyancy
and uncontrolled ascent that could result in injury or death.

7. VALVE SET UP

SCUBAPRO BCs are completed by the BPI System (Balance Power Inflator).
The BPI, connected to the tank/regulator, makes it possible to control buoyancy in the water
(inflation/deflation of the BC) by using inflate and deflate buttons.
Connecting the BPI
The Power Inflation Valve allows you to inflate your BC using air from your SCUBA cylinder.
Its LP hose, threaded on a LP port of the first stage regulator, is connected to the Power
Inflation Valve by the Quick Disconnect Coupling that works with the air on or off.
To attach the Quick Disconnect Coupling (fig. 6 - C):
1. Make sure that both fittings are free of contamination prior to mating them together.
2. Pull back the collar of the Quick Disconnect Coupling, while pushing the hose firmly onto
the fitting plug found on the power inflation valve.
3. Release the collar when the coupling is fully seated on the plug. Pull gently but firmly on
the hose to check for a secure connection.
4. To disconnect, pull the Quick Disconnect Coupling collar back and disengage the LP
hose from the plug.
⚠ WARNING
Keep water out of the inflatable aircell of the BC. Repeated use of the oral valve or the
Overpressure Valve may allow water inside the BC, reducing the amount of buoyancy
provided by the BC. This could result in injury or death. Drain all water out of the BC
prior to every use.
