Cressi XS2/AC2 Regulator; XS Octopus Package and Mini Gauge
The XS2/AC2 Regulator is an exceptionally dependable non-balanced flow-by-piston designed 1'st stage regulator that is a great choice as a new diver's rig; or for use as a stage bottle regulator system. The 1'st stage has 1 HP port and 4 LP ports and is made from marine grade chromed brass for long life and durability. A conical filter is used which has greater surface area for higher air flow characteristics through the 1'st stage regulator. The XS2 Compact Second-Stage housing is made of durable non-corrosive hi-tech polymers and has a dependable downstream demand valve mechanism. The flow of air is channeled to the mouthpiece by injection; creating a venturi effect enhancing the performance. The 2'nd stage comes with a flow deviator that acts on the Venturi effect; with dive/pre-dive adjustment function. Regulator comes with a comfortable silicone mouthpiece. The XS2 Compact AC2 Regulator weighs 35 oz. (994 g) with the hose and comes with an owner's manual. Regulator is certified to EN250/2000 standards. The XS Octopus is a lightweight; high performance second stage regulator. The XS has a Venturi dive/pre-dive switch which will help control the sensitivity of the regulator when not in use; yet when switched from the pre-dive to dive position the regulators performance will instantly increase. The XS Octopus has a dependable downstream demand valve mechanism for reliable performance. The XS Octopus is equipped with a 39" (100cm) 3/8" threaded hose; has a yellow front cover for easy identification in an out-of-air-emergency. The regulator has a soft and comfortable liquid silicone mouthpiece and the housing is made of durable impact resistant hi-tech polymers. The regulator weighs 7.27 oz. (206 g) without the hose and 12.7 oz. (359 g) with the hose. Regulator is certified to Annex B EN 250.2014 standards. The Cressi Mini-Manometer Pressure Gauge luminescent dial reads from 0 to 5000 psi. For at-a-glance monitoring of air pressure the instruments face is divided into three different colored zones: 600 psi and below is highlighted in red with a solid bar and red stripes. If gauge is used on deeper dives; the red scale extends and fades to 1;300 psi; this provides for added reserve air indication required at greater depths. From 600 to approximately 3;000 psi is green and from 3;000 to end of scale is blue. The front glass lens is made to act as a pressure relief valve. In the event of a sudden increase in pressure inside the instrument; the glass rises slightly; allowing the excess pressure to escape. The instrument is housed in a small; modern shaped boot; made from polycarbonate and Desmopan; (a thermoplastic polyurethane) two materials that guarantee protection from shocks; scratches and which; at the same time; is very lightweight. The pressure gauge housing is durable chrome plated brass. The gauge boot has an attachment point for a clip or lanyard. Pressure gauge is equipped with a 7/16" threaded high-pressure hose. The package is made in Italy.
