Information about the wiring in the Inspiration classic rebreather

This page is made as a reference for the wiring in the Inspiration rebreather. The wiring is produced in the same way during the years 1998 – 2002. It is however very important to check if this diagram is correct for your rebreather. The layout shown here refers only to my personal rebreather, and should not be used for other models, unless checked !

Therebreathersite Batteryhousing 004 — Here you see the location of the cells batterys, and solenoid in the scrubberlit.

Therebreathersite Batteryhousing 001 — Here you see the real thing. The battery lit is unscrewed. On the right side you recognize the connection box where the battery wiring and the handset (computers) wiring are connected.

Therebreathersite Batteryhousing 002 — If you unscrew the batteryholder and take of the bottom, you will see that the wiring on the closest battery to the connectionbox is from battery one, leading to handset one, located left on the diver !

Therebreathersite Batteryhousing 003 — Now we know all parts it is easy to understand the wiring. APD also labelled the wires to the according parts. It is however better to see how it is made to understand the layout in detail.

Therebreathersite was founded by Jan Willem Bech in 1999. After a diving career of many years, he decided to start technical diving in 1999. He immediately noticed that at that time there was almost no website that contained the history of closed breathing systems. The start for the website led to a huge collection that offered about 1,300 pages of information until 2019. In 2019, a fresh start was made with the website now freely available online for everyone. Therebreathersite is a source of information for divers, researchers, technicians and students. I hope you enjoy browsing the content!
