Figure 1: SCUBAPRO MK19 Evo first stage (left) and A700 second stage (right).

MK19 Evo First Stage Funktioner:

• Air-Balanced Diaphragm: Delivers consistent airflow regardless of depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate.
• Dry Ambient Pressure Chamber: Equipped with a double spring for enhanced reliability and resistance to freezing.
• Opposing High Pressure Ports: Two ports allow flexible positioning of the first stage and optimal hose/transmitter layout.
• Swivel Turret with LP Ports: Features four High-Flow Low Pressure (LP) ports and one axial Super High-Flow LP port for diverse hose routing options, suitable for technical diving configurations.

A700 Second Stage Funktioner:

• Metal Casing Construction: Utilizes a larger diaphragm within a compact casing, which contributes to breathing sensitivity.
• Air-Balanced Valve: Provides smooth inhalation effort across varying depths and supply pressures.
• Adjustable Inhalation Effort Knob: Allows for personalized comfort by adjusting breathing resistance.
• Super-Flow Hose: Features an oversized bore to facilitate increased air flow during inhalation.
• Sectional Exhaust Tee and Purge: Designed to assist in efficient exhalation and effective clearing of the second stage.

4. Opsætning og montering

Before assembly, ensure all components are clean and free from debris. Refer to Figure 2 for visual guidance on preparing for a dive.

1. Attach First Stage to Cylinder Valve:
   • For Yoke (INT) connection: Ensure the O-ring on the cylinder valve is present and in good condition. Place the first stage yoke over the cylinder valve and tighten the screw hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
   • For DIN connection: Screw the first stage directly into the cylinder valve until snug.
2. Tilslut slanger:
   • Anden Stage (A700): Connect the Super-Flow hose to one of the LP ports on the swivel turret.
   • Pressure Gauge/Computer Transmitter: Connect to one of the High Pressure (HP) ports. The two opposing HP ports allow for flexible gauge placement.
   • Alternate Air Source (Octopus): Connect to another LP port.
   • BCD Inflator Hose: Connect to an available LP port.
3. Tjek forbindelser: Ensure all hoses are securely fastened. Use the provided 4MM ALLEN KEY (Part No. 43.021.000) if any connections require tightening.
4. Open Cylinder Valve: Slowly open the cylinder valve fully. Listen for any leaks. If leaks are detected, close the valve and re-check connections.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Pre-Dive Checks

• Verify cylinder pressure on your gauge.
• Breathe from the second stage to ensure proper airflow.
• Press the purge button to check for free-flow and ensure it stops when released.
• Kontroller alle slangeforbindelser for utætheder.
• Test your BCD inflator and alternate air source.

5.2 Adjusting Inhalation Effort (A700 Second Stage)

The A700 second stage features an adjustable inhalation effort knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase breathing resistance (making it harder to breathe) or counter-clockwise to decrease resistance (making it easier to breathe). Adjust to your preferred comfort level, typically set for minimal resistance during a dive.

5.3 Purge Button Function

The large purge button on the A700 second stage allows you to clear water from the regulator or to free-flow air for specific purposes (e.g., filling a lift bag). Press firmly to activate.

6. Vedligeholdelse og opbevaring

6.1 Post-Dive Care

1. After each dive, ensure the dust cap is securely placed on the first stage inlet.
2. Rinse the entire regulator system thoroughly with fresh, clean water. While rinsing the second stage, press the purge button intermittently to flush water through the system. Do not press the purge button if the first stage is not pressurized or if the dust cap is not in place, as this can allow water into the first stage.
3. Allow the regulator to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.

6.2 Opbevaring

Store your regulator system in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures, chemicals, and direct sunlight. Avoid kinking hoses during storage.
