TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION DIVATOR RS4 REGULATOR ASSEMBLY 1. Regulator, first stage Anti-freeze device (maintenance free) Pressure gauge displaying pressures from 0 to 300 Bar, or 0 to 4350 Psi (photo shows pressure gauge with optional compass and depth gauge.) High pressure hose Quick connector for DP1 with protective rubber cap (optional) Dry suit hose (optional) Octopus hose (optional) Breathing hose for full face mask or breathing valve with mouth piece (optional)

DIVATOR RS4 ADVANTAGES The RS4 regulator is designed to make your dive efficient and safe. It has a high air flow capacity that ensures sufficient air supply to the primary and the secondary (octopus) breathing valve at the same time, regardless of the depth of the dive. This makes the RS4 an ideal regulator for professional diving and rescue missions. MODULAR The RS4 has a range of versions with different covers to choose from. Choosing the right regulator configuration for your specific diving needs will give you a safe and functional dive. ANTI-FREEZE The unique anti-freezing device on...

2-PORT SCUBA (DRY SUIT/BC) The RS4 regulator, 2-port SCUBA, is intended as a regulator to be used as an Inflation regulator for a dry suit and/or for a BC as a “stand alone” unit with a separate small cylinder. Delivered without pressure gauge and hoses. The RS4 regulator has two HP outlets (7/16”) for a pressure gauge or a Divator HUD. There are two LP outlets (3/8”) for a dry suit and/or a BC hose (or it can be used for any other LP hose). One outlet is equipped with an over pressure valve (tightened to 8 Nm) and the other is equipped with a blank plug. The two HP outlets are fitted with...

4-PORT SCUBA + DP1 The RS4 regulator, 4-port SCUBA + DP1, is intended as a regulator to be used as a “Professional SCUBA” regulator, where the user would need a surface supply air connection for the DP1 system, a breathing hose for the full face mask, an octopus hose for possible under water rescue operations, an inflation hose for the dry suit and a BC inflation hose at the same time. Delivered with a pressure gauge showing Bar or Psi and a DP1 Surface Supply connection. The RS4 regulator has one free HP outlet (7/16”) that is fitted with a parking plug and for example can house the HUD or...

PREPARING FOR USE The RS4 SCUBA can be used in different configurations. Follow this chapter in applicable parts. ADJUSTING THE DIVATOR RS4 BEFORE FIRST USE Adjust the RS4 into a mode that suits your SCUBA configuration before the first dive. Use the included 2 mm (5/64 inch) hexagonal (Allen) key. • Turn the screws anti-clockwise maximum 1 turn until it is possible to turn the head(s). Turn the head(s) into desired position. Tighten the screws until the head(s) become locked in their position(s). Make sure that the screws are tightened evenly. Photo shows traditional regulator hose...

ATTACHING AND DIRECTING HOSES ON DIVATOR BC USE OF INTERSPIRO HOSES If using Interspiro hoses, tighten the hoses to 10 Nm. USE OF OTHER HOSES THAN INTERSPIROS Make sure that the hose has a working pressure of at least 34 Bar (490 Psi) and a burst pressure of at least 100 Bar (1450 (Psi). Tighten them according to the hoses user manual. CONNECTING THE BREATHING HOSE Connect the breathing hose to the full face mask (or mouthpiece) by screwing it on fingertight. If an over pressure mask is fitted, close the lever. CONNECTING THE INFLATION HOSE 1. Put the inflation hose for the BC through the...

PRE-DIVE PROCEDURES OVERALL CHECK 1. Make sure that the RS4 regulator is clean and free from sand and/or debris from previous use. Inspect the regulator to detect if it has any signs of damage. A damaged or defective regulator must be replaced or repaired by an Interspiro certified service technician. Check all hoses by pulling and bending them while inspecting for damage, cracks and discolouration. If the high pressure hose to the pressure gauge is found to be defective or damaged, it must be replaced by an Interspiro certified service technician. Check that the protective band is attached...

Check the pressure gauge to make sure that there is enough air pressure in the cylinder for the planned dive. Interspiro recommends that the cylinder should be full before every dive. Press the inflate button on the BC inflator to make sure that it inflates the BC bladder. Push the dump button on the inflator to make sure that it drains the BC bladder from air. 6a. If using a primary breathing valve with safety pressure, turn the safety pressure lever to the open position. Check that a strong flow of air is heard. Reset the safety pressure lever to the closed position. 6b. If using a...
