The first stage has four medium-pressure ports all mounted on a rotating turret. This results in optimal hose routing while eliminating sharp bends in the hose.
Features an innovative
Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE). The system gives the diver the ability
to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. This gives the user
a choice, wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (essential for underwater
photography) and narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable
regulator. Only the narrow exhaust tee is supplied with the regulator.
Optional 5th port is
available for sidemount or twin cylinder set ups.
Can be converted from
a right-handed hose configuration to a left handed configuration. The process
of changing the regulator to a left-handed configuration is both quick and
simple. However, this procedure must ONLY be performed by an APEKS Authorised
Service Technician.
Available in yoke or
DIN configuration.
Braided flexi-hoses
are now standard on all models. These hoses are lighter weight, more flexible
and more durable.
Suitable for coldwater
use (below 10 C / 50 F).
Compatible with EAN40
out of the box.
First Stage:
- Use the DST first stage.
- Unique over-balanced, diaphragm
design - as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the
medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a rate faster than ambient.
This results in superior performance at depth.
- 2 HP ports and 4 MP ports on a
rotating turret are angled for optimum hose routing.
- An environmental dry system
keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and
keeping silt and contamination out.
Second Stage
- Pneumatically-balanced second
stage results in smooth, easy breathing.
- The XTX purge buttons are large
and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used - press the purge
on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required
such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the centre for the full
effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
- The large venturi lever has a
soft touch rubber grip, which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever
reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible
friction giving a smooth operation.
- Easy-to-grip opening effort
control knob keeps the diver in control.
- The second stage is
manufactured with active protection against infection as all molded parts
are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli,
bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mould,
yeast and algae.
- A silicone exhaust valve
improves the breathing performance of the regulator.
- The Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually
eliminates jaw-fatigue.
- A heat exchanger (patented)
which surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates the cold caused by gas
expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water
