The RS-130 combines the basic functions of the RS-110 with a breathing resistance adjustment function. It features composite materials in the S-30 second stage for superior shock resistance as well as lighter weight and compactness. There's been a major reduction in friction resistance of moving sections and air resistance in the housing for smooth, ideal respiration.
Achieving an ideal intake/exhaust resistance value:What is the ideal intake/exhaust resistance value for a regulator? TUSA's R&D department introduced sophisticated intake/exhaust air resistance measuring equipment to determine the ideal resistance level. Our goal was a light structure that achieves natural breathing with no excessive air intake. The Balanced Piston Type RS-130, 110, offer you superior intake/exhaust properties thanks to a painstaking analysis of the working structure. The second stage features a deflection tube for forced intake of air from the demand valve, and a deflector attached to the inside of the housing. This results in a major reduction in intake resistance.
Balanced piston type first stage (R-100):The very popular balanced piston type first stage offers superior reliability for stable air supply regardless of depth or residual pressure. Maintenance is also a cinch. The first stage offers an extremely high limit value even for maximum operation values. There are two HP ports and four LP ports. The R-100 first stage features a unique patented inline layout to achieve a light weight of just 620 grams during actual use, not to mention its compact size.
Flow Adjustment Mechanism [PAT.P.]:Respiration rate and air consumption rate vary greatly while diving according to environmental conditions (water depth, current, etc.) as well as the skill and physical condition of the diver. A necessary condition for safe and pleasant diving is natural breathing in correspondence to the situation at any time. With the S-30 you simply rotate the flow adjustment knob on the side with its ideal click feeling for free control of the air supply volume according to your needs. The multiple thread screws allow speedy and fine adjustment in which you can appropriately sense resistance to exhaled air to a condition in which you feel almost no resistance.
