FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• - It is equipped with an innovative diver modifiable exhaust system (DCE). This system gives the diver the option of switching from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. This gives the user the choice between a wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (essential for underwater photography) and a narrow exhaust tee for a smaller, more comfortable regulator.
• - The regulator is supplied with two sets of exhaust tees.
• - A 5th port is available as an option, with the added bonus of an integrated heat exchanger (available on Tungsten, XTX200 and XTX100 first stages).
• - Can be converted from a right-hand to a left-hand hose configuration. The process of changing the regulator to a left-hand configuration is both quick and simple. However, this procedure should ONLY be carried out by an APEKS authorised service technician.
• - Braided hoses are now standard on all models. These hoses are lighter, more flexible and more durable.
• Suitable for use in cold water (below 10 C / 50 F). EAN40 compatible out of the box.

FUNCTIONALITIES

First stage

• - FSR-style first stage.
  - Highly polished chrome plating.
  - Compact one-piece body.
  - 4 angled medium pressure ports, 4 x 3/8" UNF.
  - 2 angled high pressure ports, 2 x 7/16" UNF.5th port optional.
  - Removable ARCAP valve seat.
  - Unique over-balanced diaphragm design - as the diver descends, the over-balancing function allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to rise at a faster rate than the ambient temperature. The result is superior performance at depth.
  - An environmental drying system keeps water out of the main spring chamber, preventing ice build-up and keeping out silt and contamination.

Second stage

• - The pneumatically-balanced second stage provides smooth, easy breathing.
  - The XTX's bleed buttons are large and easy to use. A two-stage progressive bleed is used - press the bleed to the side to get a lower flow rate, useful when more control is needed, e.g. for filling lift bags etc., then press in the centre to get the full bleed effect, e.g. when the regulator empties etc.
  - The large venturi lever has a soft rubber handle, making it easier to find and use. The lever reduces sand ingress and therefore resists any possible friction, allowing smooth operation.
  - The easy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in control.
  - The second stage is manufactured with active infection protection as all moulded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also highly effective against viruses, moulds, yeasts and algae.
  - A silicone exhaust valve improves the regulator's breathing performance.
  - The Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw fatigue.A heat exchanger (patented) that surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates cold caused by gas expansion while attracting heat from ambient water.
