There is place in the head to accept the cable from a VR3 / HS Explorer, you can then connect this to a 4th Cell.

Bruce Partridge has done this to his Meg with a VR3 and a fourth cell.

I am expecting my cable from Gene at HS next week so will be doing same to my Meg with an Explorer, although I am unddecided as to whether to use a 4th cell or just wrre it into an existing cell.

Use a 4th cell because a) you don't want to mess with the setpoint related wiring and b) I want to know where you fit it. Then post some pics.

CAn you provide us with pics of the setup for the 4th cell, when you get it all together?

Cheers

I don't see why not. Although I won't be drilling holes into my PRISM when I finally
get it. Not in the head, anyway. Maybe, just maybe, a T-piece hose adapter.

Interesting…I was waiting to see what you said.

I can’t see you either drilling into the head with all potted electronics and goodies forget that!

T-hose connection: That’s going to be murder on that poor single sensor when you practice emptying the loop and the sensor takes a bath… in the nasty slim… yuck!

I wonder if there was a reason behind the separation of sensors and life support operation? Hummm, I wonder what the future will hold.

When I was diving the Prism (in a pool) I was truly enjoying myself. The system design is incredible and diving was a dream. Whatever, Peter decides in the future I will gladly be listening too.

As some said to me “You don’t know, what you don’t know.” and for me that translates into being a total neophyte.

Right I got it all set up with the 4th cell, which I have mounted on the exhale side of the head.

I am going to try it out this Wednesday, although it seems to track ok in the garage between air and 90ish % O2.

If It all works

i shall post piccies and a walk through.

Any updates on how this worked? I've thought about adding a 4th cell for my vr3 when I get my meg.
