⚠
WARNING
To prevent severe and potentially lethal injuries DO NOT dive using Nitrox (oxygen
enriched air) mixes unless you have rst obtained adequate training and certication
in their use by a recognized certication agency.
⚠
WARNING
Maximum operating depth (MOD) and exposure times to Nitrox (oxygen enriched
air) mixes are dependent upon the oxygen concentration of the mix in use.
The term Nitrox (oxygen enriched air) denes breathable mixes composed of oxygen and
nitrogen and containing oxygen in a percentage higher than 21% (atmospheric air). The
higher oxygen concentration limits the use of these mixes with standard scuba equipment
and requires the use of materials and procedures that differ from those required by the use
of atmospheric air.
USE OF NITROX MIXES OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
Standard production SCUBAPRO regulators distributed to countries outside of the
European Community use normal INT or DIN connections and are manufactured with
materials, assembly procedures and lubricants that ensure compatibility with gas mixes
containing oxygen up to 40%.
In these countries, users are required to follow the same safety procedures that apply
to dedicated nitrox regulators and to comply with the regulations set by each country
concerning the use on Nitrox mixes for diving.
⚠
WARNING
If SCUBAPRO regulators have been used with standard compressed air it will be
necessary to perform a new maintenance and cleaning procedure specically
designed for the use of nitrox mixes and carried out by a SCUBAPRO authorized
technician, before using them again with Nitrox.
⚠
WARNING
Titanium is not compatible with Nitrox (oxygen-enriched air) mixes because it may
ignite when exposed to high oxygen concentrations.
Do not use a Titanium regulator with oxygen-enriched air at an oxygen percentage
greater than 40%.
There is no way to convert a Titanium regulator for use with oxygen-enriched air at
an oxygen percentage greater than 40%.
USE OF NITROX MIXES WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Within the European Community the use of Nitrox mixes is regulated by norms EN 13949 and
EN 144-3. SCUBAPRO has designed and manufactured a special regulator line that complies
with the aforementioned regulations. The rst and second stage regulators of this line are
identied by the marking “Nitrox” and also feature components colored green or yellow, or
marked with special stickers, to allow an immediate identication.
