sealfuest Regulator Service and Repair Manual for Authorized Sea Quest Service Centers 95RGRP3.SAM2 INTRODUCTION ‘The Sea Quest Spectrum, Infinity and Mirage regulators are the product of many years of research and development. Sea Quest has utilized proven materials and design to maximize reliability and performance, ‘This manual is intended only as a guide for the experienced repair person that has completed a Sea Quest regulator service and repair seminar. It is not intended to educate inexperienced repair personnel or the consumer in all aspects of Sea Quest reg- tlator repair. Sea Quest regulator repair seminars are available periodically to Authorized Sea Quest Dealers. Servicing and ‘repair atthe repair shop level mainly involves cleaning, inspec- tion, adjustment, and replacement of worn pans, SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ‘This manual provides step by step instructions for the disas- sembly, inspection, cleaning, reassembly, and testing of all Sea Quest regulators. I is recommended that all steps are followed in the order given. Read each section completely PRIOR to beginning work described in that section. This will familiarize the repair technician with important precautions to take during the servicing of Sea Quest regulators. Pay close attention to all WARNINGS and NOTES that are intended to draw your attention to items of importance. Definitions of Warnings and Notes: 1s used before a procedure that could potently result in serious injury or death If performed incorrect Js used in connection with a procedure that ‘equites special attention or may cause damage to the equipment. ‘Sea Quest Regulator Service and Repair Manual GENERAL PROCEDURES MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES Regulators are subjected to variety of environmental elements that overtime can affect the performance of the regulator and as such require frequent cleaning and adjustment. As an Authorized Sea Quest Dealer you are advised to inform your ‘aff and customer that Sea Quest regulators require complete servicing atleast once a year. Under cerain circumstances ‘complete servicing is required every 3-6 months. Some of these circumstances ar: + Frequent or improper use + Inadequate routine freshwater rinsing + Regular use in dirty or polluted waters + Rental use + Regular use in chlorinated (pool) water Recommended maintenance schedules are based on average ‘use under normal conditions and assume that recommended preventative maintenance and storage procedures have been fol- lowed as outined in the Sea Quest regulator owner's manual ‘Advise the customer that any adjustments or servicing on Sea ‘Quest regulators must be performed by the Sea Quest factory, by an Authorized Sea Quest Dealer that has attended a Sea (Quest regulator service seminar or returned to Sea Quest. Advise your customers to regularly inspect the inlet filter. Ifthe filter is discolored or corroded, the entire regulator should be ‘completely serviced. Rust (red powder) or aluminum oxide (eray powder) deposits onthe filter may indicate that water has centered the SCUBA cylinder and caused internal cylinder cor- rosion. The customer should be notified that their SCUBA. cylinder(s) may be in need of visual inspection, cleaning and testing INFREQUENTLY USED REGULATORS Do not assume that a regulator is in good condition because of infrequent use or because it has been in storage. Deterioration of the O-rings and corrosion can still occur under these situations. Prior to beginning the servicing of Sea Quest regulators, a pre- testis recommended. A pre-test will assist the repair technician in determining which parts need to be replaced, Please refer to the test section outlined for each regulator. WORK AREA Servicing and repair of Sea Quest regulators should be carried cut in a clean well lighted work area. As each regulator is dis- assembled all pars should be kept separate from pats of other regulators. Some special tools are required for proper disassem- bly and reassembly of Sea Quest regulators. Please see Table | (page 5) for alist of these tools‘Sea Quest Regulator Service and Repair Manual O-RING REMOVAL ‘When removing O-rings, care must be taken to not damage the regulator surfaces in contact with the O-rings. Tools used to remove O-rings should not have any sharp edges or points that could scratch metal sealing surfaces It is recommended that an (O-ring removal tool be made of plastic or similar non damaging material LUBRICATION (O-rings should be only lubricated with an approved compound (Please refer to Table 2 for proper lubricants). O-rings should bee lubricated only with a very light film of silicone grease (Piston O-rings are an exception). Do not use spray (aerosol) sil- ‘cone lubricants. The aerosol propellant may damage the plastic ‘and rubber components ofthe regulator. Do not use any petroleum based lubricants or ‘products, or any aerosol silicone sprays to lubri- cate or clean any part of Sea Quest regulators, The petroleum base or propellant gas may attack or \weaken the plastic or rubber parts. Refer to Table 2 for approved lubricants. ‘Sea Quest regulators are designed and intended for use with only clean, dry air that has been certified as suitable for Scuba diving, Modified gas midures such as Nitrox are not suitable for use with this equipment. Oxygen enriched mix- tures can create an explosion hazard and serious injury or death if not property handled. ] ea Quest regulators are intended for use in water tempera- tures grater than 45°F (7°C). Colder water may cause reg- Ulators tobe more sensitive toa fre flow condition and can lead toa situation that requires an appropiate response to prevent serous injury or death. Users of Sea Quest regula~ {ors are advised to be certain that they are adequately trained to deal with a regulator in a fee flow condtion or an out-f- air emergency before attempting to dive in a cold water ervi- ronment, ‘Sea Quest DIN adapters are for use with Sea Quest regula- tors only. Do not connect to any system that wil deliver air pressure greater than 3500 psig (240 Bar). Fallure to heed this waming could damage the regulator and create a haz- ardous condition with the possibilty of serious injury or [eormeoteusesCONTENTS Introduction . . Safety Precautions .

Close inspection is best accomplished by using a jeweler's magnifying loop under bright lighting Yoke (7) Inspect for hailine cracks or distortion. Also inspect the threads for damage or wear. + Springs (12, 16, 26) Check for hairline cracks orany defor- ‘mation or breaking of the coils. + Crown (19) Check the sealing surface of the crown for any nicks, scratches or other imperfections that may prevent an effective seal. + Spring block (13) Examine the spring block thoroughly both externally and especially intemally for any scratches, nicks, or other damage that may prevent an effective seal ‘+ HP poppet seat (17) Prior to installation ofa new HP pop- pet seat check the HI poppet seat for any distortion or ‘imperfections of the sealing surface. Inspect the small hole that runs through the length of the HP poppet seat for any ‘contamination or clogging with foreign matter. In duly 1994 Sea Quest introduced a new HP Poppet seat part # 5122330 designed for improved wear characteristics. This new HP pop- pet seat replaces the older design metal HP pop- pet seat part # 5122230 in all production regula- tors. The new seat is made out of a thermoplas- tic materia! molded over a brass insert and is easy to identity when compared to the older metal poppet with black rubber seat, The new ‘seat design has some unique eating characters- tes outined in the Specrun et stage testing section 1.4. The new thermoplastic HP poppet Seat is also more sensitive to damage or contam- ination of the crown seating surface so careful inspection of the crown is important. Please see below for proper identification New HP Poppet Seat rc) ‘Metal HP Poppst Seat Bree HP Seat LD. Photo 4.25 Check all meal pas for excessive wear or corosion. (Check al metal surfaces that make contact with O-rings for con- tamination and/or imperfection that might prevent effective sealing between metal surfaces and the O-ring. Examine all chrome plated surfaces for any evidence of peeling o aking of the chrome plating. Inspect all threads for galling, cross thread- ing, excessive wear or damage tothe chrome plating. If any pars show any damage or excessive wear, they must be replaced oan Do not use any petroleum based lubricants or products, or ‘any aeraso silicone sprays on any part of Sea Quest regu- lators. The petroleum base or propelant gas may attack or ‘weaken the plastic or rubber pats. Refer to Table 2 for approved lubricants 1.26 All parts may be cleaned first ina warm (not over 120°F) ‘mild soap and water solution. Use a soft nylon bristle brush to help remove any excess or loose contamination. After an initial ‘warm water and soap cleaning, all parts should be thoroughly rinsed in clean fresh water and dried with filtered low pressure (GO psig) air After an initial cleaning in warm soap and water10 solution, metal parts should be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner using the appropriate ultrasonic cleaning solution (see Lubricant and Cleaner Table 2). Be sure all O-rings and other rubber or plastic pars are removed before cleaning in an utrason- ic cleaner or chemical bath Cleaning solutions may damage these component. 4.27 If an ultrasonic cleaner is not available, metal parts can be cleaned by soaking the metal parts in a chemical bath solu- tion of Oakite #31 (see Lubricant and Cleaner Table 2) and agi- tating gently for 3-4 minutes. Cleaning of metal parts can also ’be done by soaking ina mild acetic acid solution (50/50 mix of distilled white household vinegar and water) for 10-15 minutes. Cleaning times in excess of those recommended may damage plated parts. Never clean parts for longer than spectied by the manufacturer ofthe solution used. After completion of leaning in an solution, thoroughly rinse pats with clean frst water and blow ory with ow pressure (20 si} ait Only brass plated brass, and stainless steel parts should be immersed ina chemical cleaning solution such as Oakite #31, Use eye protection when handling chemical cleaners. 1.28 Do not attempt to clean the conical iter (4) in any type of cleaning agent and reuse. It should be replaced at every ser- vice interval 1.29 Afr cleaning, all parts should be thoroughly rinsed in clean fresh water and dried with filtered low pressure (30 psig) 1.3 SPECTRUM FIRST STAGE REASSEMBLY 13.1 Screw a first stage holder tol (5116230) into.an open LP cor HP por in the first stage. 1.3.2 Mount the first stage holder in a vise orienting the first stage so that the HP side faces up. 4.33 Install anew lightly lubricated crown O-ring (18) onto the crown (19), 134 Place the crown (19) onto the seat extractor tool (6116236) with the cone portion of the crown facing upwards.

Testing is done initial- Jy ata supply pressure of 500 psig and then again at 3000 psig. First stage testing on a test bench is favored because itis easier to vary the supply pressure and additional tests can be done on the second stage:Use eye protection while performing this procedure. ‘Airborne particles can cause eye injury. 44.1 To verify thatthe first stage intermediate pressure is cor rect atach an intermediate pressure TP) gauge toa low pressure (LP) port on the fist tage. Atach the fist stage to a Tow pres- Sue ar supply of 500 psig. While watching the IP gauge slow- Iy open the air supply valve. The intermediate pressure gauge should indicate 120 psig to 150 psig. This is defined as “Tock up" pressure 1.4.2 If using a flow test bench, the intermediate pressure (P) can be checked using the fitting and IP gauge provided on the test bench. The first stage will also be connected 0 the test bench thereby allowing you to contol the supply pressure.

The intermediate 13 pressure should drop, then return toa stable reading. Watch the intermediate pressure for 5-15 seconds after purging. The inter- ‘mediate pressure should not “creep” or slowly increase more than 5 psig within this time. Ifthe intermediate pressure contin- ues to slowly increase after 5-15 seconds refer to ‘Troubleshooting Table 3. ‘When adjusting the intermediate pressure on the Spectrum environmental first stage, the adjust- ‘ment procedures ae the same except the adjust- ment screw is item #42 in Figure S1 HIGH INTERMEDIATE PRESSURE 1.45 If the intermediate pressure reading is higher than the 150 psig it may be reduced by unscrewing (counterclockwise) the adjustment serew (27). Unscrew the adjustment screw 1/8 of a tum and then depress the second stage purge button several times while observing the IP gauge. Continue this process until the correct intermediate pressure is achieved. Do not tum the adjustment screw more than 1/8 ofa tur at atime. Ifthe correct intermediate pressure can not be achieved refer to ‘Troubleshooting Table 3. LOW INTERMEDIATE PRESSURE 146 If the intermediate pressure reading is lower than 120 psig it may be increased by screwing in (clockwise) the adjust- ‘ment screw (27), Screw in the adjustment screw 1/8 of a turn ‘and then depress the second stage purge button several times while observing the IP gauge.

Then backoff (unscrew counterclockwise) onthe locknut 18 of atu Do not apply force tothe nut driver that wil cause the poppet to seal against the seat. This foree can iad to errors in adjustment and may damage the sea 4.4.4 If itis necessary to back off onthe locknut more than 1% ‘ums, make sure thatthe intermediate pressure inthe first stage does not exceed 150 psig. Ifthe I is correct, reinspect the pop- pet (5), poppet seal (4), seat (3), and the demand lever (16) for damages outlined in Section 4.2. Also make sure that there are ‘two demand lever washers of different thickness (14 & 13) and that they are installed in the correct order on the poppet stem. 4.4.5 When the second stage testing and adjustment is com- pleted, installa new second stage port plug O-ring (9) onto the second stage port plug (10) and screw the second stage port plug to the second stage housing using a Smim hex wrench, Tighten to 5.8 inch pounds. 5.1 SECOND STAGE BENCH TESTING 5.1.1. A test bench is the preferred method of testing regula- tors. If test bench isnot available, instructions for testing with- ‘outa test bench will follow this section, 5.1.2 All tests should be performed with the second stage attached to the frst sage that will be used with that second‘Sea Quest Regulator Service and Repair Manual sage. Prior to performing any second stage tests or adjustments, the first stage intermediate pressure should be checked to be sure itis comect. A warning Use eye protection while performing this procedure. ‘Airborne particles can cause eye injury. 18.1.3 Connect the frst stage to the high pressure supply fitting on the test bench. Connect one side of the low pressure hose 10 the first stage and connect the other side tothe fitting provided (on the test bench to measure intermediate pressure. Verify that the first stage intermediate pressure is correctly set. While ‘watching the intermediate pressure (IP) gauge, slowly open the air supply valve. The intermediate pressure gauge indicator should stop ator near the corect intermediate pressure forthe first stage that you are using. (See Table 4 for Sea Quest test bench specifications). If the gauge indicator continues beyond an intermediate pressure of 160 psig, immediately tur off the ai supply Vale and deressure the fst stage by depressing the Second stage purge buon, Ths idles a fare ofthe first stage. Please refer to Troubleshooting Table 3. ‘A continued increase in intermediate pressure (IP) indicates a Teak in the first stage. Please refer to Troubleshooting Table 3. ‘AIR FLOW TEST 5.1.4 Place the second stage mouthpiece on the mouthpiece adapter ofthe test bench. Slowly apply suction until the flowme- ter indicates atleast 1] SCFM. Inhalation effort as indicated by the test bench Magnabelic gauge should read no more than 6 inches of water. If the reading is over 6 inches of water refer to the Specifications Table 4. OPENING EFFORT TEST ‘5.1.5 With the socond stage still connected to the mouthpiece adapter on the test bench, slowly apply suction. Observe both the inhalation effort and the intermediate pressure gauge. When the intermediate pressure gauge indicator ist begins to drop the ‘Magnahelic gauge should indicate an opening effort of 0.7 to 2.0 inches of water. (UF the second stage is used only as an ‘Octopus alternate airway the opening effort should be 1.3-2.2 inches of water) 31 PURGE FLOW TEST 5.1.6 With the second stage still connected to the mouthpiece adapter on the test bench, completely depress the purge button while observing the flowmeter. The flowmeter should indicate a ‘minimum of 5.0 SCFM (142 LPM). Ifthe purge flow is less than 5.0 SCFM please refer to Specifications Table 4 LEAK TEST 5.1.7 Disconnect the frst stage from the test bench. Connect the complete regulator assembly (first and second stage) 0 scuba tank with atleast 3000 PSI. (A small pony tank (30 cubic feet) is idea). Submerge the entire frst and second stage in clean water for at least one minute. Submerge the second stage wit the mouthpiece Pointing straight down. This will prevent the sec- (ond stage from freeflowing, ‘During this time carefully observe the second stage for any signs of bubble formation indicating a leak. Observation If a continuous leak is detected the second stage must be disassem- bled and reexamined for damage or contamination ofthe seals and sealing surfaces. ‘5.1.8. The following testis performed to check the overall per- formance of the second stage. Breath in slowly and deeply 4-6 times. The second stage should deliver air without excessive cffort,freeflow, or fluttering ofthe second stage and the exha- lation effort should also not be excessive. If any problems are noted, please refer to Troubleshooting Table 3. Since the over- all breathing performance is subjective, second stage demand lever adjustments should not be made outside of the recom- mended demand lever specifications. VACUUM LEAK TEST 5.1.9 The following test helps verify tat all diaphragms and other water sealing components are installed correctly. Shutoff the air supply tothe fist stage. Purge the second stage so that there is no ar pressure in the fist or second stage. Inhale gently onthe second stage. Do not inhale forcefully as this may suck inthe exhaust diaphragm. During inhalation you should not be able to feel any air low. Ifyou ae abe to inhale even slightly there is a leak in the second stage. Most likely at the main diaphragm or the exhaust diaphragm. Exhale normally, you should not feel any restrictions to the exhalation. Repeat this process several times6.1 TESTING WITHOUT A TEST BENCH 6.1.1 All tess should be performed with the second stage attached tothe frst stage that will be used withthe second stage. Prior to performing any second stage tests or adjustments the first stage intermediate pressure should be checked to be sure it is correct, OPENING EFFORT 6.1.2 Check the cracking pressure by holding the second stage by the mouthpiece or the exhaust tee such thatthe diaphragm is facing down and parallel with the waterline. Slowly submerge the second stage in clean water. Observe at what depth the sec- ‘ond stage begins to flow. The second stage should begin to flow when the second stage diaphragm is approximately 1.0 10 2.0 inches beneath the surface ofthe water, this indicates an approx- imate but acceptable opening effort. PURGE FLOW 6.1.3. Depress the purge bution completely for 3-4 seconds several times to check for adequate purge flow. LEAK TEST 6.1.4 Connectthe complete regulator assembly (rst and sec- ond stage) toa scuba tank with 3000 PSI. (A small pony tank (G0 cubic fet is idea). Submerge the entire first and second stage in clean water for at last one minute ‘Submerge the second stage withthe mouthpiece Pointing straight down. This wil prevent the sec- (ond stage trom freeflowing. ‘Sea Quest Regulator Service and Repair Manual During this time carefully observe the second stage for any signs of bubble formation indicating a leak.
