Hi Dave, long time,
Having done lots of trip rebuilds like the idea of having a 'trip saver' in case one o2 inject system fails - but that is a different thing I think
Of course we could just all dive units with reliable controllers lol! [yeh I know and I aint even drunk!]
If I was diving a KISS unit and it failed on a trip - recon a few o-rings would sufice as a trip saver (pack smaller/lighter and cheaper) than a whole new electronic control system
Ive been forced to dive several of my units with no electronics when they failed - I think its actually good practice to do it now and then anyway so wouldnt let no electronics spoil my trip
Hi Mike, actually, on the hybrid rEvo, you don't have to take anything spare with you: in its basic configuration it already has 3 independent electronic systems: the controller, and 2 independant PO2 gauges with each their own HUD
if the controller fails, you just continue with the 2 gauges, like if you were diving the mCCR rEvo.
even more, without changing anything to the hose routing inside the unit, suppose you have a blocked/stuck open solenoid: you simply plug it with the plug you normally use to close off the orifice if you want to dive deeper then the max CMF depth: it's the same threath !
