tion to the job site is simple and a large surface support vessel is not needed. At the dive site, full communications, backup breathing supply, pressure readouts, and depth monitoring are provided by the KMACS 5.
This is one of many situations where the KMACS 5 can be used to provide the safe and efficient opera- tion of SSAir diving.
1.3 SPECIFICATIONS
Use: For SSAir diving only. Pure oxygen MUST NOT be used. Compressed air from high pressure tanks (scuba or other types of compressed air tanks), or from a compressor should be the only supply to the KMACS 5
CAUTION: Pure oxygen is a potential fire hazard, its use can lead to explosion of the KMACS 5. Pure oxygen also presents a physiological hazard to the diver.
Outer Dimensions: Length = 21 inches Width = 10 1/2 inches Height= 17 1/2 inches
Weight: 54 pounds. (24.5 kilos)
Shipping Weight: 60 pounds. (27 kilos)
Recommended Maximum Dive Support Depth: 130 fsw (feet of sea water) (40 meters).
CAUTION: Decompression and other human limits must be observed. Decompression diving should not be conducted with the KMACS 5 unless a properly equipped recompression chamber facility with oxygen is immediately available at the dive site.
High Pressure Supply Pressure Maximum: 4500
pounds per square inch. (300 bars)
Low Pressure Supply Pressure Maximum: 225
pounds per square inch. (15.5 bars)
KMACS 5 MANUAL
CAUTION: Although the high pressure gauges on the KMACS 5 are rated to 5000 psi (345 bars), this is a safety precaution only. The regulator on the KMACS 5 is not designed to operate at pressures greater than 4500 psi (300 bars).
Umbilical Pressure Range:

Battery Performance: 20 hours of continuous use between charges in 4 wire mode.
Charger: Will accept external 12 volt source.
Communicator Power Output: 8 watts.
Communicator Frequency Response: 600 to 12,000 HZ.
Remote Operation Capability: Yes, with optional unit.
Direct Recording Capability: Yes.
1.4GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Only equipment certified and tested according to EN 250/E DIN 58 642 may be used with the KMACS 5 when conducting diving operations in European EC compliant countries.
The KMACS 5 components are housed in a durable polyethylene case. However, caution should be used in transporting the KMACS 5. Rough handling will rarely cause damage to the case, but it is possible to damage the calibrated pneumo gauges and/or
