- Page 5 Limitations of use: Xstream Deco, Oxygen and Duration models no higher oxy- gen content than 99,95% by volume Xstream Deep models only for use with air or Trimix with a maximum oxygen content of 21%, and a maximum Helium content of 77% Xstream Dive and octopus only for use with air and a maxi- mum depth of 50 meters.
- Page 6 EN 250 limits. Although Xstream Deep is certified to 200m (656 ft) depth and Xstream Deco is for use with pure oxygen, you must al- ways make sure all of your equipment is suitable.
- Page 7 The Xstream regulators are not designed to be breathed up on by more then one person at a time. If you configure WARNING! your Xstream regulator for more then one diver to breath from it at a time, the cold water performance may not meet minimum safety standards.
- Page 8 21% oxygen by volume. All accessories and other SCUBA equipment connected to Xstream must be approved by the manufacturer for use with the same oxygen content which is used with the Xstream. Cylinder valves must always be opened carefully and slowly, to avoid pressure shocks.
- Page 9 PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS The Xstream regulator models have been developed based on experience gained from deep diving, cave diving, wreck diving and cold water diving. The different types all share some common requirements on safety through functiona- lity, simplicity and performance.
- Page 10 Because of the unique Poseidon valve technology, there is no need for external adjustments. Xstream is fitted with the new ergonomic mouthpiece Posei- don AIR, with asymmetrical lugs for the most comfortable bite.
- Page 11 DEEP / DEEP90 1:ST STAGE (TRIMIX, AIR) All materials in Xstream Deep are chosen and tested to be optimised for Helium and high flow. This requires special attention to leak tightness, since Helium gas has such a Xstream Deep90 low density.
- Page 12 Directly from the box, it is cleaned to NASA Specification [1] Cleaning test Level 100 (particle contamination) and NVR levels less than ASTM G63 Level C, <50 mg/m2 (hydrocarbons). The Xstream Oxy90 1st stage is only used on the Mk VI Discovery Rebreather. Xstream Oxygen (0100-002) The Xstream Deco was discontinued in 2005.
- Page 13 Xstream Dive90 1st stage XSTREAM LP HOSES All Xstream hoses are made of high quality SBR/NR, and are av- ailable in different lengths. For deep dives or in particularly cold conditions a long hose 2.15m (7 ft) has the benefit of warming the gas by as much as 12°C (22°F) under certain conditions.

- Page 16 DIVING What is most distinctive about the Xstream is that it is easy to use – there aren’t any valves or switches to change the flow of gas, reducing breathing performance, etc. You can leave the function and performance of the regulator in our hands and concentrate on what you want to do - dive.

- Page 25 It is strictly prohibited to use the Poseidon Xstream Oxy- gen/Deco/Duration/Duration90 with oxygen (ref. “defini- tions”) without being fully trained and certified in the use of oxygen by a recognised training agency.
- Page 26 Service should be done at regular intervals to ensure that the regulator maintains its functionallity. It is recommend- ed that you service your Xstream regulator at least once every 24 months as a minimum but preferbly once every 12 months or as often as it is estimated to be necessary.
- Page 27 Adding decals and other outer means for oxygen/ Nitrox identification, as well as marking with a pen is not regarded as modifications. Do not lubricate the regulator beyond that done by Poseidon or your authorised Poseidon dealer. Spraying lubricants into WARNING!
