Cressi-sub B.C.’S JACKETS Manual De Instrucciones página 65

64 English
A correct design is the starting point to reach the best
results.
After many tests and researches, CRESSI-SUB has
created a modern back-piece assuring a vertical
adjustment of the back support in order to fit each waist.
The newly designed handle makes it easier to carry the
jacket everywhere.
You can also buy an additional strap to fasten the tank or
it is possible to fasten the tank in two different positions.
FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM INFLATOR
Its largely known functions are to inflate or deflate, but
differently from the traditional inflator with ID hose, the
new Flight Control System consists of two new
elements (by-pass and deflation valve) and provides the
following great advantages:
• A fixed by-pass position designed in such a way that
controls are always visible and can be easily reached
by the hand (even when wearing gloves) thus enabling
to control buoyancy in any driver's position.
• The inflation and deflation controls are associated to
different mechanical movements for higher safety.
• The by-pass shape provides an ergonomic handgrip
and allows to operate controls always with the same
hand without moving it (you just have to move only
some fingers); moreover, the special soft pipe
(connection between bag and by-pass) allows the
hand to move more freely.
A detailed description of the characteristics of
each component is given below.
BY-PASS
Its function is to control bag inflation or deflation.
It is located in the lateral left part of the jacket and the
pocket is shaped in such a way not to hinder the hand
movements during use.
The by-pass quick connection is located in order to
facilitate connection/disconnection of the low pressure
hose coming from the first stage.
The inflation function is carried out by pressing a
push-button (Fig. 1) allowing air to enter the bag.
The deflation function is carried out by moving a slider
forward, (Fig. 2) allowing air to escape from the bag, in
this way you can have a gradual deflation or a quick
deflation by immediately taking the slider to the end of its
stroke.
