Servicing
Another unique safety feature of the Status regulator is that it
monitors the usage, in hours and calendar months, from when the
regulator is first used or last serviced. The diver is informed that the
first stage requires servicing by a flashing “SVC” indicator on the LCD
screen. This will occur when the regulator is initially pressurised. To
keep your regulator in premium condition it is vital that this is regularly
and correctly serviced. You will know by quick examination of the
display that your medium pressure is OK.
Understanding the Status
What is medium pressure?
All first stage regulators are designed to reduce the very high cylinder
pressure down to a more controllable medium or interstage pressure.
This medium pressure which is the driving force of the regulator, is
supplied to the second stage which in turn controls the supply of gas
to the diver. knowing the medium pressure is within its ideal operating
range, gives the diver full confidence that the first stage is at its
optimum before every dive.

Caution: Use a small amount of an appropriate lubricant ( such as
Christo-Lube) LIGHTLY applied to the thread of the Din Handwheel
periodically. This prevents seizing on the Cylinder Valve. DO NOT
OVER LUBRICATE or apply to the internals of the handwheel or
cylinder valve gas-way.
