8.BLUE BREATHING AIR SUPPLY PRESSURE GAUGE (M)
The Blue pressure gauge (M) indicates the pres- sure remaining in the “BLUE” high pressure tank. (NOTE: If two divers are supplied by the KMACS 5 both divers will be breathing from the same selected high pressure supply).
9.ORANGE BREATHING AIR SUPPLY PRESSURE GAUGE (L)
The Orange pressure gauge (L) indicates the pres- sure remaining in the “ORANGE” high pressure tank. (NOTE: If two divers are supplied by the KMACS 5, both divers will be breathing from the same selected high pressure supply).
10.YOKES FOR HIGH PRESSURE CYLINDER ATTACHMENT (S)
The yoke fittings (S) provided have standard U.S. scuba cylinder attachments as well as Din Fittings. Each yoke has a bleeder valve to vent the remain- der of the pressure in the whip when changing out scuba bottles. The yokes attach to posts mounted on the panel in the lid of the KMACS 5 for storage and transport.
11. CASE (J)
The Dive Control panel (A) is attached to the bottom
half of the case (J). The top half of the case contains the communicator panel with the yoke blocks and the communicator if there are communications. If there are no communications there are only the yoke blocks. ( see picture in front of manual). The top is not designed to be removed.
12.BREATHING AIR SUPPLY SELECTOR VALVE HANDLE (I)
This handle (I) controls the two position Breathing Air Supply Selector Valve and allows uninterrupted diving operations while full air supply tanks replace expended tanks. The selector valve controls ONLY the high pressure air supply. It is NOT possible to shut off any low pressure supply connected to the low pressure inlet fitting (N), at the KMACS 5 itself.
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”.
When changing out the H.P. air supply cylinders, always observe the diver’s umbilical pressure gauge
(B)for any sudden fall in pressure. Should this occur, it indicates that the cylinder in use has mistakenly been turned off. If so, immediately turn the cylinder back on and move the selector valve handle to select the full cylinder and change out bottles.
Due to the construction of the selector valve, it is impossible for gas to
