How it Works
DiveAlertPlus is a specially designed, small, light weight pneumatic
signalling device that uses quick-connect/disconnect hose fittings to
become an integrated part of your power inflator. Installation is easy
and takes only a moment.
DiveAlertPlus does not require any modification of your other equipment,
and it does not interfere in any way with the normal operation of your
other equipment.
When you need to get someone’s attention on the water’s surface, you
simply select “AIR” operation with your diverter valve, press the button
and DiveAlertPlus uses a small amount of air from your SCUBA tank to
make a piercingly loud sound.
Or, when you want to get someone’s attention under the water’s surface,
you simply select “H2O” operation with your diverter valve, press the
button and DiveAlertPlus uses a small amount of air from your SCUBA
tank to make a percussion noise to alert your dive buddy.
Installation – DiveAlertPlus connects between the power inflator and
the low-pressure hose by means of its quick-connect/disconnect hose
fittings.
Operation – Operation is as simple as selecting the desired function
with the diverter valve and pressing the activator button. To select
surface signalling, move the diverter valve so the pointer lines up
with the “AIR” graphic. To select subsurface / underwater
signalling,
move the diverter valve so the pointer lines up with the “H2O” graphic.
Just make sure that before every dive you check that DiveAlertPlus is
installed correctly and functioning properly. Also be careful not to
point DiveAlertPlus toward yourself or toward anyone who is in close
proximity to you when you activate the surface signal or loss of hearing
could result.
Maintenance – After each use, DiveAlertPlus should be rinsed with
fresh water. This is especially important after use in chlorinated
swimming pools and in other water having corrosive substances. Additionally,
it is highly recommended that you blow the water out of DiveAlertPlus
before storing. This can be done by pressurizing and activating both
the surface and subsurface signalling elements. We recommend that you
cup your hand over the surface signalling element to muffle the loud noise.
