Frequently Asked Questions
If you held the switch down the whole time, it will run the battery out in about 35 to 45 minutes. Many variables between divers carry different results. On most of the Divers who helped us complete about 250 endurance dives we were able to run the battery out on a two tank dive. The battery ended up running out on the second dive about 40 percent of the time.
It can move a 170 pound man in full gear approx 165 feet per minute, that equates to almost 2 knots. Every diver is different, We have had divers moving up to 175 feet per minute and some who go about 150 feet per minute.
Nickel Metal Hydride NiMH
If sand enters the switch you can shake the sand out or you can pull the switch plug out of the battery
6061T-6 Aircraft grade Hard Anodized Aluminum The Prop and Shroud are PA46 High Impact Plastic.
The first proto type was made in 2002 and it has been in testing and refinement since then.
The LVD is a Low Voltage Disconnect and it serves as several functions. It aids in the charge and discharge monitoring of the battery to do it most efficient and it also cuts out the battery when it see’s a .9 volt left in each cell, NiMH batteries do not like to be completely drained so the LVD helps maintain the health and life of the battery pack.
A slight pitch change and a slight loss of Thrust.. Then in about 2 to 3 minutes it will cut out.
The Cycle life is 500 to 700 cycles, but because we are controlled by the LVD it raised the life to the 700 side of the scale.
Yes. Similar to a drill, when things get caught in the prop the clutch disengages. Once it is free, it engages back.
In water, out of water, in case…. 13 Lbs out, - Negative 5 Lbs in, and 43Lbs with the case.
One week depends where shipping.
One year. You can purchase an additional year for
It is pluggable underwater and you change it just like out of the water.. Yes
Rinse with fresh water, wipe dry, and lube the pins on the motor. Top off the batteries every couple months when not in use.
Lube the pins on the motor and the end of the switch.
Yes lube and 2 extra O-Rings. The unit should not be opened, that would eliminate any warranty. It is sealed at the factory and should not need opening. If so contact us and send it back to the factory for review.
Yes, You would need an adapter for the plug.
Plug Power cord into charger, plug charger into wall, plug battery cord into charger and then plug into battery last.
On a single tank, doubles and what type of switching is used to activate them. They are run side by side on the same strap with 2 brackets. It will use two switches strapped together.
You should always follow all dive rules, but it will run during ascend or descend, all diving rules apply.
This allows for easier control to stay at a specific depth, it levels the diver while under way.
