Can I use the Vr3/Drager interface with a Vr2

IanPR · 20th January 2006, 20:01

Hi,
I'm just getting into SCR diving on a Drager Dolphin, I have a Vr3 PO2 interface which came with the DD. Will the Vr3/Drager interface work with a Vr2 as this suit's my diving and budget!!!

er yes at a guess.

I can't see any reason why not so long as the two ports are the same.
There both Fisher connectors.

If it's an old interface then chances are it's the old two pin style.

Newer VR3's and VR2's have a 7 pin connector.

If the connectors right, then yes you can...
If it's not, a new SCR cable will cost around £170!!! not Cheaper.

If this is the case, you might be better off getting a used/second hand 2 pin VR3.

Nope, it's a 7-pin. I know 'cause it's the interface & the rebreather I sold to Ian

Now I have to admit I've never seen a VR2, so I don't know if it fits, but it sure fits a new style VR3.

In which case it will indeed fit a new VR2.

You can get the port enabled and SCR rebreather option.

One of my dive buds uses an old VR2 like this.

Have a look at:-
