code of practice for offshore diving.
The unit can monitor air supplies for up to three divers, and is normally used for monitoring the pressure of the outgoing supply. However, by changing the pressure transducers the same unit can be used for both high and low pressure monitoring.

On start up an automatic self check tests for faults such as poor connections, and if a fault is detected the orange light illuminates. If the system is working and pressure is normal the green light will illuminate.

“The unit is easy to operate with its large chunky switches and warning lights which are appreciated in the commercial diving sector,” said Link Instruments’ Dominique Christie.
Housed in a rugged aluminium enclosure, the unit is powered by an external 12V supply from a battery or the supplied mains adaptor.
