Upon inspection if the unit can not be repaired an ATEX approved unit will have be to be purchased. NOTE: In the case of the DSX MKII the only noticeable difference will be the rear Label.

 Diktron DSX MKI
Important notice to all BA Departments and agents.
Diktron give notice that from 1st of January 2002 we are no longer able to repair the DSX MKI Distress Signal Unit.
As you are aware this product was introduced to the market some 15 years ago and due to the lack of stocked spares has become uneconomical to repair. We do however provide the MKII version, which is identical in operational use but is much smaller in size.
To assist Brigades in this matter Diktron will provide the MKII when units become uneconomical to repair on a one for one basis at a Discounted price.
Many Brigades are already slowly turning to the MKII version by this means and find no difficulties in operational use. Diktron assures all users that we will continue to repair until the above date as long as spares are available.

 RE: above
You should have by now received the above letter form Diktron explaining the situation regarding the DSX MKI ADSU.
PROCESS
When DSX MKI units arrive, the casings are scrutinised first of all to ascertain whether or not we can repair them.
a. If the box front is cracked or badly warped the unit is unrepairable.
b. If the battery compartment lid is cracked or badly warped the unit is unrepairable.
The above is due to exhausted spare parts which have become uneconomical for Diktron to produce and store. Should you be holding some spare battery compartment lids of your own then please inform us. We can then carry out the repair of that unit. We will inform your brigade store/maintenance department of any units that we deemed unrepairable.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience that may be caused.
