Note release written by Martin Parker Teledyne Discontinuing 02 Cells for RebreathersQuestion: when did teledyne stop making rebreather sensors?
I am not the scuba police and definitely have a reputation for doing stupid scary stuff when it comes to my diving. With that said - Be very careful doing this. It has already been proven that many rebreather designs do not like this and the condensation will build up on the sensor face and cause incorrect reading when doing long dives. This can be even worse depending on water temperature too. This was proven doing actual dives and I have personal experience, and have seen it myself. There is one unit that tolerates it much better than others almost at the 100% mark.several years ago You can still get same type sensor but without the hydrophobic membrane. I still use the R22S's in my unit. Just keep water off them. IMO Teledynes are the best out there.
The sensors for RB use also have a coating over the entire circuit board to help keep moisture from that area in addition to the membrane.I know this is a mod.But why can't a stamped out membrane be placed in front of the sensor?Obviously its do at your own risk...
