Dive Bear:Let me say that this is my very first post on scubaboard, so please forgive any stupid errors in protocol.
landfish:i have a question
why would you go into the water on a rebreather with no way of knowing your pp02?
deepblueh2o:The original dolphin was setup by flow rate not gauge ppO2. Wazza, replace your battery on the gauge, should fix the problem.
Sounds like Dräger and Uwatec are a match made in heaven (or hell ).scubaligament:In my mind, this company-acknowledged lack of reliability and absence of consumer support in a critical piece of life-support dive equipment is inexcusable.
scubaligament:Wazza, my Draeger oxyguage flooded the first time I used it.
The Draeger oxyguage was a few years old, although brand new in the box, when I had to use it. I replaced the o-ring with a new one (installing it properly, which you have to do quite carefully), replaced the battery, then replaced the cover according to Draeger's instructions. The supplied O2 sensor had gone bad (even though the seal had never been broken and it had been stored properly in its airtight container), so I replaced the O2 sensor also. I calibrated the unit and went diving, only to find that the oxyguage had flooded/failed on the return leg of my dive (max depth 60').
