Oceanic AIR XS II Owner's Guide

Doc. No. 12-2116

San Leandro, CA USA

When using Air with this regulator equipment, the Air used must meet EN132 Annex A standards.

The AIR XS II Regulator/Inﬂator System' is designed for -

• minimum working pressures of 120 PSI (8.3 BAR)

• nominal working pressures of 140 PSI (9.5 BAR)

• maximum working pressures of 160 PSI (11 BAR)

COMPATIBILITY AND INSTALLATION

The AIR XS II low pressure inﬂator hose is compatible with all Oceanic ﬁrst stage regulators. It may not be

compatible with other manufacturers' ﬁrst stages (thread size = 3/8-24 UNF).

Have your AIR XS II installed on your BC, and the low pressure inﬂator hose attached to your regulator ﬁrst

stage, by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer.

Connect the quick disconnect (QD) end of the inﬂator hose to the AIR XS II using the QD coupling. To at-

tach it, grasp the coupling on the end of the inﬂator hose between the palm of your hand and ﬁngers, and

pull back the coupling release with your thumb and foreﬁnger.

While holding back the coupling release, press it onto the quick release ﬁtting on the AIR XS II, and

let go of the coupling release while continuing to hold the hose onto the quick release ﬁtting.

Ensure they are ﬁrmly attached prior to pressurizing the regulator/inﬂator system.

NOTE: Refer to the illustration on page 2 for identiﬁcation of components.

FEATURES

OPERATING BUTTONS

The three operating buttons, one located on each side of the mouthpiece and one above the mouthpiece,

can be differentiated by look, position, and tactile feel. Become familiar with their use to minimize the

possibility of confusion.

• Top - regulator purge button

• Left - power inﬂator button

• Right - manual inﬂator/deﬂator button

CORRUGATED HOSES/PULL CONNECTOR

Two corrugated hoses are joined by a Pull Connector. By pulling on the rounded Pull Connector you can

operate the Rapid Exhaust Valve located in the upper (shoulder) unit while you are using the AIR XS II

Regulator without having to remove the Regulator from your mouth. The extended length of the Hose As-

sembly prevents any resistance during head movement.

INFLATOR OVERPRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (OPV)

The integrated OPV, located in the upper (shoulder) unit, automatically vents excess pressure from the BC

during ascent or if over pressurized with the Power Inﬂator. This component of the AIR XS II operates auto-

matically so no instructions for its use are necessary.

WARNING: The OPV integrated into the upper (shoulder) unit is set to operate

at a lower relief pressure than the OPV located on the back of the BC to prevent

damage to the material of the BC air cell. It is imperative that only Oceanic

inﬂator assemblies be used with Oceanic BCs.

QUICK DISCONNECT CAP (SEE ILLUSTRATION ON PAGE 2)

The rubber Cap secured to the corrugated hose is provided to cover the quick release inlet ﬁtting of the

AIR XS II Power Inﬂator Assembly. The Cap must be installed any time the Inﬂator Hose is disconnected to

prevent entry of contaminants.

INFLATOR OPERATION

WARNING: If you ever hear air, or see bubbles, escaping from the area around

any of the AIR XS II's connectors, or if the BC fails to hold air, immediately

terminate or postpone the dive until the BC and AIR XS II can be serviced by

an Authorized Oceanic Dealer. You must not dive with an AIR XS II or BC that

exhibits any signs or symptoms of leakage.

BC INFLATION USING THE POWER INFLATOR

With your Regulator connected to an appropriate cylinder, slowly open the cylinder valve to pressurize the

Regulator/Inﬂator system. Press the Power Inﬂator Button, located on the left side of the AIR XS II Mouth-

piece, until you hear air ﬂowing into the BC. Minor compressions of the Power Inﬂator Button will initiate

airﬂow into the BC and allow small adjustments in buoyancy.

WARNING: If you depress the Power Inﬂator Button fully, the BC will inﬂate

rapidly. Be careful not to overinﬂate the BC during a dive causing an unwanted

rapid rise toward the surface.

Test the Power Inﬂator and Overpressure Relief Valve (OPV) prior to each dive to ensure they are function-

ing properly. Depress the Power Inﬂator until the BC ﬁlls completely, forcing the OPV in the upper (shoul-

der) unit to open. You will hear the sound of air venting from OPV, indicating that it is working properly.

While the BC is still inﬂated, listen for any undesired air leakage around the AIR XS II. The BC should stay

inﬂated until you deﬂate it manually.

BC DEFLATION USING THE RAPID EXHAUST VALVE (REV)

The Rapid Exhaust Valve (REV) is located inside the upper (shoulder) unit of the Inﬂator Assembly. It is con-

nected to the lower (power) unit by two Cables located inside the Corrugated Hose and coupled together

inside the Pull Connector.

The REV is operated by grasping the Pull Connector, or the lower (power) unit and pulling it down (away)

from the upper (shoulder) unit. The Cables pull the Exhaust Valve open, venting air from the BC through

the Vents of the upper unit of the Inﬂator Assembly.

The amount of air vented depends on how far open the Exhaust Valve is, the distance you

pull the inner Cable, and how long the Exhaust Valve is open. Short tugs vent small amounts

of air for minor changes in buoyancy, and a long pull will vent the entire BC in a matter of

seconds.

Use of the REV eliminates water entry even if the Exhaust Valve remains open after all air is vented from

the BC.

BC INFLATION USING THE MANUAL INFLATE/DEFLATE BUTTON

The Round Button located on the right side of the Mouthpiece is an Inﬂate/Deﬂate manual actuator that al-

lows air ﬂow in to, or out of, the BC. To inﬂate orally, place the Mouthpiece in your mouth, and after you

begin (and continue) to blow in, press the Button with your thumb. This procedure purges the mouthpiece

cavity of water, resulting in less water entering the BC, potentially prolonging Bladder life.

Some air may continue to leak in to the surrounding water when you are orally inﬂating the BC, even after

you have released the Inﬂate/Deﬂate Button. This is considered normal and will not impede the efﬁcient

oral inﬂation of the BC.

BC DEFLATION USING THE MANUAL INFLATOR/DEFLATOR BUTTON

To deﬂate the BC through the Mouthpiece, hold the lower (power) unit higher than the top of the BC and

depress the Round Button located on the right side of the Mouthpiece to vent the air from the BC.

To ensure complete deﬂation of the BC, the Mouthpiece must be held higher than the top of the BC. While

underwater, you will hear the air as it bubbles out through the Mouthpiece.

To prevent entry of water into the BC, be sure to release the Button before all bubbles stop ﬂowing. To

help eliminate unwanted water entry, use the Rapid Exhaust Valve method of deﬂation.

REGULATOR OPERATION

In the event that it is necessary for you to share air with another diver, you should offer your

Primary Second Stage to the diver and you should use the AIR XS II Regulator. Although the

AIR XS II Regulator will function properly with the Purge Button facing up or down, Oceanic

recommends an operational position with the Purge Button facing up, similar to other Second

Stage positioning.

Operation of your AIR XS II Regulator is similar to most other Second Stages. It provides air on demand

with low inhalation resistance and it has a convenient Purge Button located on the top of the unit's housing

and a comfortable Mouthpiece.

As with most other Second Stages, purging the AIR XS II Regulator of water can be accomplished in two

ways. By pressing the Purge Button to initiate the ﬂow of air and expulsion of water, or by exhaling a

small puff of air into the Mouthpiece to expel the water.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your AIR XS II is a reliable piece of equipment that will continue to work like new for many years to come,

if cared for properly.

Follow the procedures below, and have the entire AIR XS II inspected and serviced annually by your local

Authorized Oceanic Dealer.

DISCONNECTING THE INFLATOR HOSE

• Close the Cylinder Valve and purge (vent) the Regulator Assembly 'completely' of all pressure by

depressing a second stage Purge Button.

• Grasp the Quick Disconnect Coupling on the AIR XS II Inﬂator Hose (second stage end) between the

palm of your hand and ﬁngers, pull back the Coupling Release with your thumb and foreﬁnger, and

pull it off the quick release ﬁtting of the AIR XS II.

• Place the Protective Cap on the ﬁtting (see illustration on page 2) to prevent contaminants from enter-

ing the AIR XS II's Valve Housing.

POST DIVE CARE

Any exposure to aquatic elements can produce contamination that could effect the proper function of your

dive equipment. Post dive care is the most important thing you can do to keep your AIR XS II in top condi-

tion.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove (or install) the AIR XS II from (on) a BC.

Improper installation may cause misoperation or BC failure underwater, possibly

resulting in serious injury or death. It will also void the warranty.

As soon as possible at the end of each day of diving:

• Flush the exterior of all components thoroughly with fresh water to remove dissolved salt and other

contaminants.

• Flush the Lower (Power) Assembly by running water into the Mouthpiece and out the Exhaust Ports.

DO NOT depress the Purge Button if the Assembly is connected to the First Stage Regulator, doing

so will allow water to ﬂow into the sealed portion of the First Stage.

• If possible, immerse the entire Lower (Power) Assembly in a warm fresh water bath and soak for one

hour, preferably while still connected to the First Stage Regulator and pressurized.

• Remove from the bath and rinse all components of the Assembly with slow running fresh water. DO

NOT use full water pressure.

• Sand that has collected behind the Lower (Power) unit Cover (behind the Purge Button) can be rinsed

out by ﬂushing tap water through the opening in the Cover. Do not pry or lift up on the Purge But-

ton, or use high pressure water that could damage the internal Diaphragm.

• If after thoroughly rinsing, sand or debris can still be heard rattling under the cover, take your BC/

AIR XS II Assembly to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer for inspection and cleaning.

WARNING: DO NOT remove the Purge Cover yourself. Improper replacement of

the Cover could result in an unexpected undesirable shut off of air delivery while

underwater.

• If possible, lay the complete Assembly ﬂat in a cool, dry place (out of direct sunlight) and allow the

components to dry naturally.

• DO NOT inject or spray Lubricants into or onto the AIR XS II. Doing so can attract contamination

that could subsequently interfere with proper operation.
