Apeks XTX40 / XTX40 Stage 3 Set

De XTX40 valt in de middencategorie van de Apeks-lijn maar valt toch bij hun onder best presterende ademautomaten. De XTX40 komt met alle specificaties als de XTX50 met de uitzondering dat van de XTX50 het adem-comfort regelbaar is.

Deze set komt met de DST Eerste Trap en de XTX40 Tweede Trap + XTX40 Octopus.

First Stage:

• Use the DST first stage.
• Unique over-balanced, diaphragm design - as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a rate faster than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
• 2 HP ports and 4 MP ports on a rotating turret are angled for optimum hose routing.
• An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out.

Second Stage

• Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing.
• The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used - press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the centre for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
• The large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip, which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation.
• Easy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in control.
• The second stage is manufactured with active protection against infection as all molded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mould, yeast and algae.
• A silicone exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator.
• The Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue.
• A heat exchanger (patented) which surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water.

XTX40 Octopus

• The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used - press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the centre for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
• Can be converted from a right-handed hose configuration to a left handed one. The process of changing the regulator to a left-handed configuration is both quick and simple. However, this procedure must ONLY be performed by an APEKS Authorised Service Technician.
• Braided flexi-hoses are now standard on all models. These hoses are lighter weight, more flexible and more durable.
• Suitable for coldwater use (below 10 C / 50 F).
• Compatible with EAN40 out of the box.
• Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing.
• The large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip, which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation.
