POST DIVE
During a diving sequence, it is important that a small amount of daily main-
tenance is undertaken. These fall into 5 categories:
1. Care of oxygen and CO
2
sensors
2. Loop cleaning
3. Recharging
4. Cylinder filling
5. Absorbent changing
6. BCD
CARE OF OXYGEN AND CO
2
SENSORS
The Sensor Module (SM) is easily removed from the unit by removing the
Life Support System Module (LSS) and pulling the SM out. The SM carries
the three oxygen sensors and the CO
2
sensor.
Post dive the CO
2
filter (yellow cap) sponge should be replaced as de-
tailed.
At the end of a days’ diving the complete SM should be removed (and the
LSS cap refitted) and kept in a dry (low humidity) and ambient tempera-
ture environment. The CO
2
filter cap should be removed for the non-diving
period.
SANITIZING
After a dive the Explorer breathing loop needs to be sanitized. The recom-
mended sanitizer for the Explorer is Steramine™. This sanitizer is available
through your Hollis dealer.
Please see www.Steramine.com for Safety and Handling Instructions.
Basic sanitizing can be conducted by making up a solution in the correct
quantities and soaking or wiping the part with the solution.
! WARNING: The use of any other sanitizing agent may damage the
component parts of the rebreather, in particular the mushroom
valves.
