The number 0426 next to the CE mark refers to Registered Test Center
n° 0426 ITALCERT, V.le Sarca, 336 - 20126 MILAN, authorized to run
production checks according to art. 11.B D.e. 89/686/EEC only as regards
products classified in category III (harness for SCUBA).
REFERENCES TO EN 250: 2000 OBJECT
DEFINITIONS LIMITS
Object: The requirements and tests provided for in EN 250 are
aimed at providing a minimum safety level for the operating of diving
breathing apparatuses at a maximum depth of 50 m/ 165 feet.
Scuba - Definition (EN 132): Self-contained, open-circuit compressed
air underwater breathing apparatus in an apparatus which has a
portable supply of compressed air carried by the diver, allowing him
to breathe underwater.
Scuba - Minimum equipment (EN 250: 2000):
a) Air cylinder / cylinders.
b) Demand regulator.
c) Safety device, e.g. pressure gauge / computer or reserve or alarm.
d) Carrying frame or holding device for air cylinder(s) to mount the
harness, or carrying system, e.g. backpack and/or straps, BC
harness.
e) Facepiece: mouthpiece assembly or full face mask or diving
helmet.
f) Operating instructions.
Limits (EN 250: 2000) - Maximum depth: 50 m / 165 feet.
SCUBA - Component units (EN 250: 2000): The SCUBA equipment
may consist of separate component units such as cylinders, regulator
and pressure gauge. The Mares BCs described in this manual may
be used with any SCUBA components certified in compliance with EC
directive 89/686. The air contained in the cylinders must comply with
the requirements for breathable air set forth in EN 12021.
REFERENCES TO EN 1809 OBJECTS
DEFINITIONS LIMITS
Object: The EN 1809 directive examines the minimum safety
requirements and the performance of inflatable buoyancy
compensator vests.
Buoyancy Compensator Vest - Definition (EN 1809): A device allowing
the diver to control his/her buoyancy during the dive.
Limits: The object of the EN 1809 Standard does not cover the
requirements for floating devices or safety jackets. A buoyancy
compensator vest is not intended to guarantee, on the surface, a
head-up position to an unconscious or a temporarily disabled diver.
WARNING
Read this manual carefully. The improper use of any diving
equipment can result in serious injury or death. SCUBA diving
equipment should be used by certified divers only. Professional
training should be obtained exclusively from a certified instructor.
For your protection, your equipment should be serviced by Mares
or a Mares AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
The BCs described in this manual have been tested and certified for
temperatures between -20°C and + 60°C.
IMPORTANT
Read the instructions carefully. The BC is not a life vest: it does
not guarantee a head-up position of the diver on the surface. If the
instruction manual is lost, it can be re-ordered from your Mares dealer.
Before use, check for any air leaks and make sure all the components of
the BC are working correctly. Connect the LP hoses to a Low Pressure
port of the 1st stage BEFORE connecting the regulator to the tank.
After use, rinse the inside and outside of the BC thoroughly with fresh
water. This operation is particularly important after use in a swimming
pool. Inadequate maintenance may result in damage to the BC or impair
its operation. Inflate the BC slightly before storing.
ERGO INFLATOR
The Ergo inflator (Fig. 1) is designed to guarantee immediate and precise
buoyancy adjustment.
The Ergo inflator was designed to operate with a minimum supply
pressure of 8 bar / 117 psi and maximum supply pressure of 12 bar /
176 psi. Check the technical specifications of your regulator before use.
