Automation set HELIX PRO DIN + OCTOPUS HELIX by Aqualung
Description :
HELIX represents the best value for money choice on the market today, thanks to breath work that is rated "excellent" on the ANSTI breathalyzer and other great features including ACD (patented automatic first stage debris closure).
Characteristics:
- ACD - Automatically closes the first stage when the automatic is removed from the cylinder valve, keeping the first stage completely clean and properly lubricated, which is also safer for use with enriched oxygen mixtures.
- The balanced diaphragm first stage provides excellent and stable performance.
- The pneumatically balanced second stage ensures smooth and easy breathing.
- Available in DIN (max. 300 bar) or INT (max. 232 bar) versions.
- The T-shaped first stage optimizes the placement of the 4 medium pressure and 2 high pressure ports.
- Spare parts are common for other Aqua Lung models, making servicing very easy.
- The venturi lever is easy to use to prevent freefow at the surface or improve performance at depth.
- The patented heat exchangers that surround the valve mechanism dissipate the cold caused by expanding gas andheat the mechanism with the ambient water temperature.
- The new out-of-the-box dispenser is EAN 40 compatible.
- The dispenser is equipped with the patented Aqua Lung Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece, which features a multi-use tightening band.
- The PRO designation indicates that the dispenser has been certified for cold water (below 10°C).
