Terms used in this Guide
IAW: In Accordance With

Introduction
NOTE
Further information pertaining to the Surface Supplied MOD-1
can be found in the Description and Operational Specifications
and General Information KMDSI Products modules, along with
the Kirby Morgan website: www.kirbymorgan.com.
The Surface Supplied Pod is the latest addition to our Modular Full Face
Mask product line.
The new Surface Supplied Pod is constructed of specialty polymers/elasto-
mers and machined components of titanium and high grade stainless steels.
The oral cavity has extremely low volume and greatly reduces residual
levels of CO2. The volume also works well for communications. This Pod is
designed to be operated only in the surface supplied diving configuration.
Serial Number Location
8© MMXXII Kirby Morgan Dive Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Document # 220623001
Serial Number Location
The M-48 MOD-1 serial number is printed on the left side of the upper
leading edge of the mask frame along with the part number for the mask
and the CE mark on the right hand side.
The serial number is located on the bridge of the Surface Supplied Pod
Assembly.
Communications
© MMXXII Kirby Morgan Dive Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Document # 220623001 9
Communications
The communications are modu-
lar, with earphone/microphone
elements routed to an externally
mounted communication module
which is easily removed and re-
placed if needed. Current model
has the microphone easily remov-
able as a complete plug-in micro-
phone assembly, or the micro-
phone element can be separated
by itself. Future improvements will
be independent attachments for
the earphone elements as well.
Hood Assembly
Includes earphone pockets. The attached hood is easily removed for re-
placement.
Regulator
The main tube assembly is a slight variation from the main tube assembly
of the balanced SCUBA regulator. All parts are interchangeable except the
balance spacer, P/N 850-170 and adjustable nipple P/N 550-163.
The regulator assembly has been designed and manufactured with pride,
according to Kirby Morgan's world renowned exacting standards for qual-
ity and performance. The Kirby Morgan Balanced SCUBA Regulator is a
high performance regulator which was designed for the professional diver.
The second stage is a modified version of the same regulator used on the
Kirby Morgan 97 helmet and stand alone 455 balanced regulator. Many of
the parts used in this regulator are identical to those used on the KM 97
helmet and 455 balanced regulator. This is helpful to dealers in stocking
parts for service and repair.
Provided it has been purchased new from an Authorized KMDSI Dealer,
your regulator assembly is covered by KMDSI's Limited Warranty. Be sure to
read and fill out the warranty card completely and return the bottom por-
tion within ten (10) days of purchase. Also save your sales receipt. A copy
of your receipt must be presented whenever obtaining warranty service.
Perhaps more than any other piece of diving equipment, your regulator's
function and performance relies greatly on the care and maintenance it will
receive, in addition to regularly scheduled dealer service. Before you dive
with your new Kirby Morgan regulator, it is important to read this guide
in its entirety; to become familiar with its features, as well as the correct
procedures for setup, pre-dive inspection, and post-dive maintenance.
Side Block
10 © MMXXII Kirby Morgan Dive Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Document # 220623001
Side Block
The linking component to the regulator, from the side block, is made out
of titanium for strength and to eliminate corrosion, and excess weight. The
body and additional metal components are made from 316L stainless steel.
The design of the control valves is extremely simple and easy to maintain.
Mask
All current models of the MOD-1 modular full face masks can be converted
into the Surface Supplied version with the Pod and associated hardware
with a simple modification by an authorized, trained KMDSI dealer.
We do not recommend that this product be operated in contaminated
water. No matter what the Pod configuration used this diving system is
not an acceptable form of protection against biological contaminates.
Vent Holes
The mask skirt has two
vent holes located in each
eye cavity of the mask.
Using the defogger con-
trol knob and inhaling
through the nose, defogs
the lenses with ease.
