TUXING Diving Ventilator Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

This suspended underwater breathing apparatus is a high-performance diving ventilator designed for ease of use and portability. It floats on the water surface, supplying air to the diver through an air passage, allowing for an enjoyable underwater experience. Ideal for underwater fishing, shallow water sightseeing, and diving practice, it offers a convenient, tankless alternative to traditional diving oxygen tanks with long continuous diving times.

2. Product Components

• Air Inlet: External air enters the machine through this port to be compressed for underwater use.
• Extension Air Intake Tube: Extends the distance between the air intake and the water surface to prevent seawater from entering the air passage.
• Switch: Activates the machine to continuously compress and deliver air into the water.
• Charging Port: Must be tightened after charging to ensure waterproofing.
• Balance Floats: Keeps the machine stable and floating on the water surface, preventing tipping and collisions.
• Air Outlet: Connects with the air tube to introduce air underwater.
• Air Tube (Trachea): Delivers compressed air. It is adjustable for diving depths up to 10-12 meters.
• Back Strap (Harness): Secures the respirator to prevent it from falling underwater.
• Filter: Effectively filters impurities and odors from the air.
• Breathing Valve (Respirator): The mouthpiece through which the diver breathes.

3. Setup Instructions

1. Pre-Dive Check: Before use, verify that the power supply is sufficient for your planned dive duration. Inspect all joints and connections to ensure they are leak-free. Do not use the product if the battery is low, if there are any air leaks, or if any part is not securely fastened.
2. Connect Air Tube: Connect both ends of the air tube (trachea) to the air outlet on the main unit and the breathing valve (respirator).
3. Functionality Test: Turn on the main switch and check that the respirator is working properly and supplying air.

4. Operating the Diving Ventilator

1. Secure Charging Port: Before entering the water, ensure the charging port is tightly closed to prevent water ingress and potential short-circuiting, which could affect normal operation.
2. Deployment: The main body of the ventilator is designed to float on the water surface. It will continuously supply air to the diver through the connected air tube.
3. Diving Depth: The maximum recommended diving depth for this equipment is 10 meters.
4. Supervised Use: For safety, never use this product alone in the water. An observer should always be present to monitor the underwater breathing apparatus as it floats on the surface. This helps prevent tipping or other accidents that may occur due to improper operation or unforeseen circumstances.

Usage Scenarios

5. Maintenance

1. Post-Dive Cleaning: After each dive, clean the machine thoroughly with fresh water. It is crucial to soak the respiratory tract and breathing valve to prevent corrosion from seawater impurities and salt, which can affect future use.
2. Filter Replacement: The activated carbon and filter cotton inside the filter should be replaced approximately every 20 hours of use. Depending on the cleanliness of the filter elements, replacement can be performed earlier to ensure a continuous supply of clean air.
3. Charging: Use a charger with a voltage range of 110V-220V. A red indicator light on the charger signifies that the unit is charging, while a green light indicates a full charge. A complete charge typically takes approximately 6-10 hours.

6. Troubleshooting

• Battery Depletion Underwater: The manual does not specify an explicit warning system for low battery while underwater. It is crucial to monitor the power display before and during the dive to avoid unexpected power loss.
• Air Aspiration Issues at Depth: The product is designed for operation up to 10 meters. If you experience issues with air aspiration at this depth, ensure all connections are secure, the air inlet is clear of obstructions, and the filter is clean.
• Damaged Air Switch: If the air switch (or any other component) is damaged, it is recommended to contact customer support for replacement parts or professional repair. Do not attempt to repair high-precision components yourself unless professionally qualified.
• Water Ingress: Ensure the charging port and all other seals are tightly closed before water entry. If water enters the unit, immediately cease use, remove from water, and contact support.
