Installation
1. Premier Stage Connection (DIN Unsealed)
- Ensure the O-ring on the tank valve is present and in good condition.
- Align the DIN fitting of the first stage with the tank valve.
- Screw the DIN fitting into the tank valve until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
- Slowly open the tank valve to pressurize the system. Listen for any leaks.
2. Raccordements de tuyaux
- Connectez le premier au deuxième stage hose to one of the low-pressure ports.
- Connect the submersible pressure gauge (SPG) hose to a high-pressure port.
- Connect any additional low-pressure hoses (e.g., BCD inflator, alternate air source) to the remaining low-pressure ports. The first stage features five low-pressure ports and two high-pressure ports for versatile configuration.
3. Vérifications avant la plongée
- Vérifiez que tous les raccords sont bien fixés et étanches.
- Check the pressure on your SPG.
- Tester le primaire deuxième stage by taking a few breaths to ensure smooth airflow.
- Test the alternate air source (if connected).
- Ensure the BCD inflator functions correctly.
Operating the Regulator
Automatic Flow Control (AFC)
The B2X regulator is equipped with a patented Automatic Flow Control (AFC) system. This innovative feature automatically adjusts the airflow to maintain optimal breathing effort at varying depths, eliminating the need for manual adjustments during your dive. Divers can experience natural, effortless breathing without turning dials or pushing buttons.
Rapid Adjustment Knob
For specific situations, such as surf entry or when using the regulator as an octopus (alternate air source), the B2X includes an over-molded Rapid Adjustment Knob. This knob allows for quick, temporary adjustments to prevent free-flow or to fine-tune breathing resistance as needed.
Comfort Swivel
The PVD coated comfort swivel on the second stage allows for 30° rotational movement, preventing hose binding or kinking and enhancing overall comfort during your dive.
Entretien
Post-Dive Care
- After each dive, rinse your regulator thoroughly with fresh water while still pressurized to prevent water from entering the first stage.
- Once depressurized, replace the dust cap on the first stage before rinsing again.
- Allow the regulator to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight.
Entretien régulier
To ensure optimal performance and safety, your Atomic Aquatics B2X regulator requires periodic professional servicing. Consult your authorized Atomic Aquatics dealer for recommended service intervals, typically annually or after a certain number of dives, whichever comes first.
Stockage
Store your regulator in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and harsh chemicals. Ensure hoses are not kinked during storage.

|---|---|---|
| Flux libre à partir de la deuxième stage | Incorrect adjustment, debris in valve, cold water. | Adjust Rapid Adjustment Knob, gently tap second stage, or seek professional service if persistent. |
| Hard breathing | Low tank pressure, clogged filter, worn components. | Check tank pressure, ensure regulator is clean, or seek professional service. |
| Fuite d'air au niveau des raccords | Damaged O-ring, loose connection. | Inspect and replace O-rings, tighten connections. If leak persists, do not dive and seek service. |
