Servicing

Another unique safety feature of the Status regulator is that it monitors the usage, in hours and calendar months, from when the regulator is first used or last serviced. The diver is informed that the first stage requires servicing by a flashing “SVC” indicator on the LCD screen. This will occur when the regulator is initially pressurised. To keep your regulator in premium condition it is vital that this is regularly and correctly serviced. You will know by quick examination of the display that your medium pressure is OK.

Understanding the Status

What is medium pressure?

All first stage regulators are designed to reduce the very high cylinder pressure down to a more controllable medium or interstage pressure.

This medium pressure which is the driving force of the regulator, is supplied to the second stage which in turn controls the supply of gas to the diver. knowing the medium pressure is within its ideal operating range, gives the diver full confidence that the first stage is at its optimum before every dive.
