INTRODUCTION
STATEMENT FOR
OCEANIC REGULATOR EQUIPMENT
COMPATIBILITY AND USE WITH NITROX
WARNINGS:
Oceanic Regulators are not intended to be used by untrained per-
sons who may not know the inherent risks and hazards of SCUBA
diving.
Prior to use of Oceanic Regulator equipment with nitrogen-oxygen
(Nitrox) breathing gas mixtures that contain a higher fraction of
oxygen than 21%, the user must have received, or must first ob-
tain, certification in diving with Nitrox from a recognized training
agency.
An Oceanic Regulator is not a medical device. It is not intended
and must not be used to supply treatment oxygen in a medical
emergency.

Owner's Guide
NOTE: The term breathing gas used throughout this owner's
guide applies to enriched nitrogen-oxygen (Nitrox) mixtures as
well as compressed Air.
When using Air with this regulator equipment, the Air used must
meet EN132 Annex A standards.
STATEMENT FOR
OCEANIC REGULATOR EQUIPMENT
COLD WATER DIVING
WARNING: Installation of an Environmental Protection Kit must
be performed by the Oceanic factory or an Authorized Oceanic
Dealer. Improper installation may cause First Stage failure while
underwater resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Failure to obtain proper training in the specialized
techniques required for diving in cold water environments and
failure to apply such techniques to handle situations that could re-
sult in Regulator freezing will place you in risk of serious injury or
death.

REGULATOR FIRST STAGES
WARNING: Failure to prepare your First Stage properly for use in
harsh environmental conditions, such as being subjected to sedi-
ment or the possible buildup of ice, or salt crystals, may result
in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should adjustment of an
Oceanic first stage regulator be performed by anyone other than
an Authorized Oceanic Dealer. Doing so may cause failure under-
water, resulting in serious injury or death.
ATTACHMENT OF HOSES
6
Owner's Guide
REMOVAL OF HOSES
WARNING: At least one second stage must be connected to the
first stage to facilitate purging of breathing gas from the first
stage.
DATALINK™
WARNING: Proper installation of the DataLink is essential for it to
function properly. It must be installed only by an Authorized Oce-
anic Dealer.
7
Oceanic Regulator
NOTE: Once the DataLink has been disconnected, the regulator
system can again be pressurized.
REGULATOR ATTACHMENT TO A TANK
WARNING: Maximum working pressure for an Oceanic Yoke style
connector is 3500 PSI / 232 BAR and for a DIN style connector is
4500 PSI / 300 BAR

DIN TO USA CONVERTER YOKE
WARNING: The DIN to USA Converter is specifically designed for
use with Oceanic brand first stages. Although it may fit other
brand first stages, it was not designed to do so or tested for use
with other brands. Under no circumstances should the Oceanic
DIN to USA Converter be used with any other first stage than an
Oceanic model.

Owner's Guide
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION KIT
WARNING: Installation of an Environmental Kit must be per-
formed by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer. Improper installation
may cause first stage failure while underwater resulting in serious
injury or death.
REGULATOR SECOND STAGES
WARNING: Even if your First Stage is properly prepared for use
in harsh environmental conditions, only proper training will pro-
tect your Second Stage from the effects of the environment.
