A) Side & Top Weightsbring unsurpassed balance to the helmet while
providing for accessory mounting areas.
B) Fiberglass and Carbon FiberReinforced
Shell Kirby Morgan has over 50 years experience in composite laminations.
The helmet shell is hand laid up glass fiber reinforced thermal setting
polyester (fiberglass) with carbon fiber reinforcement at key points for
added durability. It is light and highly impact resistant, and provides
a heat/cold barrier as well as being an excellent electrical nonconductor.
C) Defogging Steady Flow Valve provides an additional flow of gas into the
helmet for ventilation and defogging.
D) Emergency (EGS) Valvesupplies backup
breathing gas to the diver. E) Gas Supply Non-Return Valveis Commercially
Rated™. It prevents loss of gas pressure in the event of umbilical
damage.
F) Rapid Change ModularCommunications SystemBecause the module is
easily removed from the helmet, repair or replacement of communications
parts is quick and trouble free. It is available with either a male waterproof
connector or a bare wire post connection.
G) Positive-Lock™ Latch SystemThis
latching system, developed by Kirby Morgan in 1992, consists of two sealed
Positive-Lock™ pull pins which are pulled forward to release the neck
collar and neck dam locking system. Even when the latches are released,
the O-ring sealed neck dam maintains a positive seal and will not allow
the seal to be broken until the collar actually clears the diver's shoulders,
thus helping to prevent any flooding of the helmet. |

H) Head Cushiongives the helmet a secure, well balanced feel
as well as excellent thermal protection during long work periods.
I) Air
Train diffuses the incoming breathing air/gas onto the face plate to defog
the lens.
J) Silicone Oral Nasal Mask is made of a superior silicone material
which is hypo-allergenic and has a longer work life than latex.
K) Nose Block
Device allows the diver to block the nose to equalize ears.
L) Rex® Demand
Valve (patents pending), with it's full adjustment balanced piston is a
breakthrough design that exceeds all requirements of all government or other
testing agencies. It has the best work-of-breathing performance when compared
to ANY other commercial diving helmet.
M) Adjustable Neck PadThe helmet
attached yoke system has an adjustable neck pad which is made from a scuff
resistant elastomer. In conjunction with the spring activated front neck
dam ring lock, it provides protection for the bottom of the Helmet.
N) Internal
Adjustable Chin Strap The adjustable chin support, along with the adjustable
neck pad on the locking collar gives the diver a comfortable, secure fit.
