Suunto Tank POD Kurzanleitung Seite 5

WARNING: PERFORM PRE-CHECKS! Always check that the Tank POD and the
dive computer are functioning properly and the dive computer has the correct
settings before diving. Check that the display is working, the battery level is OK,
tank pressure is correct, and so forth.
WARNING: Check your dive computer regularly during a dive. If you believe
or conclude that there is any problem with any computer function, abort the dive
immediately and safely return to the surface. Call Suunto Customer Support and
return your computer to an authorized Suunto Service Center for inspection.
WARNING: DO NOT DIVE WITH A GAS IF YOU HAVE NOT PERSONALLY
VERIFIED ITS CONTENTS AND ENTERED THE ANALYZED VALUE INTO YOUR
DIVE COMPUTER! Failure to verify tank contents and enter the appropriate gas
values where applicable into your dive computer will result in incorrect dive
planning information.
WARNING: Never use the Tank POD as a handle when attached to a regulator
and tank.
3 GASES
3.1 Compressed Air
This device is recommended for use with compressed air. The compressed air
supply must comply with the quality of compressed air specified in the EU standard
EN 12021:2014 (requirements for compressed gases for breathing apparatus).
If you have used Tank POD with compressed air, you cannot use it with nitrox or
oxygen despite EN 250 NITROX marking on product.
WARNING: A Tank POD that has been used with compressed air must be
cleaned for oxygen service by a competent person before nitrox or oxygen use.
If you use an additional high pressure hose connected to the Tank POD, make sure
it is approved for this purpose and is compliant to EN 250. Suunto high pressure
hoses are tested according to the EN 250 standard.
3.2 Enriched Air Nitrox diving use
This product can be used with nitrox breathing gases (also known as oxy-nitrogen).
Before using the product with nitrox breathing gases, it needs to be oxygen
serviced.
If the side of your Tank POD is marked with text "EN 250 NITROX", it has been
tested according to EN 13949 standard and fulfills the requirements described in
the standard. All the manufacturing materials of Tank POD and its sub-assemblies
(for example, the compatible flow restrictors) are oxygen compatible and 100%
oxygen adiabatic compression resistant.
Starting May 2021, all new Tank PODs and their sub-assemblies have been cleaned
for oxygen service in Suunto manufacturing. To mark this, the Tank POD has been
sealed into a plastic bag and marked with text "Cleaned for oxygen service".
If your Tank POD is not sealed into a plastic bag as described above, Suunto
recommends you to treat it as not cleaned for oxygen service.
Suunto recommends that you do not use Tank POD with nitrox gas mixtures before
a trained and competent person has cleaned the device for oxygen service.
WARNING: Do not use nitrox gas mixtures if you do not have proper training.
Appropriate training courses about nitrox and oxygen diving are essential prior to
the use of this kind of equipment with oxygen content greater than 22%.
