The Liquivision X-Link is the live PO2 monitoring connection for use with the X1. The X-Link’s construction is the same as the X1, consisting of an aluminum case, lithium polymer battery, and fully potted internal electronics for durability and flood-proofing. Information from the X-Link is transmitted to the X1 optically to ensure no failure points are introduced with the use of the live PO2 monitor.
The X-Link comes in two versions, Fischer Connector and Hardwired. Both can be connected to a rebreather and monitor up to 3 oxygen cells. Additionally, the X-Link offers the possibility of monitoring a fourth channel, such as CO2.
WARNING: The X-Link is designed as a secondary oxygen monitoring device only. It is not designed as a rebreather controller and should never be used as such. It should never be used as a primary or only oxygen monitoring device.
- If you are using an electronic rebreather, your rebreather electronics should control the oxygen flow and constitute your primary oxygen monitoring device. The X-Link may only be used as a secondary monitoring device. It should never be wired to all the same cells as your rebreather electronics - you must have at least one cell that is only connected to your rebreather controller and at least one cell that is only connected to the X-Link - unless you have a manufacturer installed isolation circuit.
- If you are using a manual rebreather, the display provided by your manufacturer should constitute your primary oxygen monitoring device. The X-Link may only be used as a secondary oxygen monitoring device. It should never be used as the only oxygen monitoring device. You should never use two X-Links as primary and secondary oxygen monitoring devices as this does not provide sufficient redundancy.

Liquivision X-Link Versions: Fischer and Hardwired
Fischer X-Link
The Fischer X-Link is equipped with a 7-pin female Fischer socket into which you can plug your Fischer cable.
The Fischer cable is not included. You will need to purchase your Fischer cable separately.
Hardwired X-Link
The standard Hardwired X-Link is equipped with approximately 5 feet/1.5 metres of water-stop cable that must be hardwired into the rebreather head (contact your rebreather manufacturer for assistance with this process).
