KMACS 5 MANUAL
© 2003 KMDSI Document # 041112001
CAUTION: Although the high pressure
gauges on the KMACS 5 are rated to 5000
psi (345 bars), this is a safety precaution
only. The regulator on the KMACS 5 is not
designed to operate at pressures greater
than 4500 psi (300 bars).

sea water) (0-76 meters).

1.4 GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
Only equipment certified and tested according to EN
250/E DIN 58 642 may be used with the KMACS
5 when conducting diving operations in European
EC compliant countries.
The KMACS 5 components are housed in a durable
polyethylene case. However, caution should be used
in transporting the KMACS 5. Rough handling will
rarely cause damage to the case, but it is possible
to damage the calibrated pneumo gauges and/or
tion to the job site is simple and a large surface
support vessel is not needed. At the dive site, full
communications, backup breathing supply, pressure
readouts, and depth monitoring are provided by the
KMACS 5.
This is one of many situations where the KMACS 5
can be used to provide the safe and efficient opera-
tion of SSAir diving.
1.3 SPECIFICATIONS
Use: For SSAir diving only. Pure oxygen MUST
NOT be used. Compressed air from high pressure
tanks (scuba or other types of compressed air tanks),
or from a compressor should be the only supply to
the KMACS 5
CAUTION: Pure oxygen is a potential fire
hazard, its use can lead to explosion of
the KMACS 5. Pure oxygen also presents a
physiological hazard to the diver.
Outer Dimensions: Length = 21 inches
Width = 10 1/2 inches
Height= 17 1/2 inches
Weight: 54 pounds. (24.5 kilos)
Shipping Weight: 60 pounds. (27 kilos)
Recommended Maximum Dive Support Depth:
130 fsw (feet of sea water) (40 meters).
CAUTION: Decompression and other human
limits must be observed. Decompression
diving should not be conducted with the
KMACS 5 unless a properly equipped
recompression chamber facility with
oxygen is immediately available at the
dive site. In-water decompression is not
recommended.
High Pressure Supply Pressure Maximum: 4500
pounds per square inch. (300 bars)
Low Pressure Supply Pressure Maximum: 225
pounds per square inch. (15.5 bars)
