6.ORANGE AIR SUPPLY FLOW INDICATOR LINES

The “ORANGE” air supply flow indicator line indicates the flow path of breathing air from entry into the KMACS 5 to exit to the diver’s umbilical(s) at the fittings on the manifold (G). The second high pressure whip is color coded ORANGE.

Starting from the high pressure air tank, the OR- ANGE air supply flows through the whip into the KMACS 5. Following the ORANGE flow indica- tor line (K) it shows the flow to the ORANGE Breathing Air Supply Pressure Gauge (L), then to the Breathing Air Supply Selector Valve which is controlled by the Breathing Air Selector Valve Handle (H). The Selector Handle must be all the way “DOWN” until it stops for the ORANGE supply. The BLUE supply is off when the Selector Handle is in the down position.

KMACS 5 MANUAL

After flowing through the Selector Valve the OR- ANGE air supply enters the Breathing Air Supply Regulator (H) which reduces the high pressure breathing air to an adjustable range between l15-225 psi (8-15.5 bars). Then the ORANGE air supply goes to both diver’s umbilicals through the fittings on the manifold (G).

7. LOW PRESSURE INLET FITTING (N)

The low pressure inlet fitting is positioned between the connections for the two H.P. supply hoses. It is marked by the arrow containing the words “L.P. Supply”. Low pressure supply breathing air, usually from a compressor (with volume tank) is supplied through a whip (low pressure hose and fittings) that attaches here. When the low pressure supply is the only air source, the supply pressure will be indicated on the umbilical pressure gauge (B). In the low pres- sure supply mode, the selector/valve handle will he positioned in the H.P. OFF ZONE.

CAUTION: When using H.P. air, the selector handle must be turned up until it stops for BLUE supply or down until it stops for ORANGE supply. Never allow the selector handle to stay in the marked “H.P. OFF ZONE”. Both high pressure air supplies are off in the yellow striped H.P. OFF ZONE”.
