Select Backlight on Display (On or Off): T
his option may also be set via the Field
Programming method. To conserve battery life, it is suggested that the light be turned
off immediately after a dive while in the Surface Mode. Regarding battery life, every
hour the TACLITE is on is equivalent to about five dive hours without TACLITE. From
the factory, the TACLITE is set to OFF.
Temperature Dependent NDC Computations (Off or On):
This feature compensates
the decompression algorithm proportional to the ambient water temperature if the water
temperature is below 25 degrees C. If the diver is using a warm, well-insulated dry suit,
it may be desirable to turn this feature off. See previous explanation of this capability.
The
CO
is shipped from the factory with this feature ON.
Selectable NDC Conservatism (0% to 50%):
This feature will allow the diver to input
an added degree of conservatism to the decompression algorithm from 0 to 50 percent
in one-percent increments. This may be desirable if the diver is dehydrated, tired, or
has some other factor that warrants added conservatism. This option may also be set
via the Field Programming method. Conservatism is set to zero as shipped from the
factory.
Selectable Type of Ascent Rate Alarm (Fixed or Variable):
This option gives the
diver the ability to utilize a fixed ascent rate warning or a warning based on depth.
Should the diver prefer the fixed ascent rate warning, the diver can select the maximum
ascent rate limit, which can be selected in one-metre increments from 6 to 18 metres
per minute (See next topic). As shipped from the factory, this is set to FIXED. If the
VARIABLE rate is selected then the warning will illuminate based on the following table:
