Different type of Meg electronics/models

edasque

I am not thinking about switching but for my own education, I'd like to know.

What are the different versions of Megs (not talking about scrubber):

Copis: is that mCCR ?
Apecs: no deco eletronics
HH: Third party head and deco eletronics
Shearwater: no longer supported third party.

Is that correct ?

Basically yes.

The Shearwater Meg was partly 3rd party, the electronic came from
Shearwater Research but Innerspace placed them in their handsets.

For the HammerMeg ISC sends heads without electronic to Juergensen
Marine where the complete Hammerhead system is then added.

The original electronics ISC used were the Juergensen/Smithers electronics,
predecessor of the Hammerhead.

But you could still get the Shearwater installed on any Meg lid by Bruce.

And he will support it directly.

and the copis is the mCCR version, yes ? Does that mean that you get two inflater-like hoses on your shoulders that you can push or is it a valve mounted on the counterloung like on the o2ptima ? Or is it near the tanks valves ?

Hi,
Why does Inerspace not longer support shearwater electronic. I get the Shearwater GF and find it a nice piece of gear. Its so simple and with only a few pushes its possible to change gas, change from CC to OC or change the CCR setpoints. And Bruce from Shearwater is always helpfully on any question. I have a VR3 (OK its nicer not that big) but I like the GF more. Are there involved technical problems on the Meg's? Or only commercial a decisions from Inerspace?

Yes, the Copis is the mCCR version and all the mentioned electronics can also be used on it. As far as the oxygen addition it's located on the inhale counterlug.

See Ron's article at tmishop.com for a great explanation of how the amazing COPIS works.

I think it has something to do with the failures of the early ISC-Shearwater heads.... and a failure to resolve those issues.

We had a "hidden display" of our Bristol-Electronic on my Meg at the last three dive shows (London and Birmingham). Only one keen observer noted "Wait a minute, there's something wrong here..." when he realised the integrated VSI and missing handset. It is still in testing, as we are busy with our real life and the diamond hud for the moment, but it is up and running, and hopefully eventually available for other units, too. So far it is not "more of the same" - we found power consumption and functionality unmatched, but then we would be biased in our judgement. Just as a teaser: the unit has not been turned off for the past 12 months ...
