FO2 MODE
After Activation, the Versa Pro will operate as an Air computer
without displaying information associated with oxygen calcula-
tions, unless it is set for a percentage of oxygen (FO2) other
than Air (a numerical value between 21 and 50 %).
When set with an FO2 value of 'Air' (Fig. 10), the Versa
Pro will perform calculations the same as if FO2 were set for
21% oxygen, internally accounting for oxygen loading for any
subsequent Nitrox dives. However, oxygen related displays,
warnings, and the O2 Bar Graph will not appear on the
display for that dive, or subsequent dives, unless FO2 is set for
a numerical value (21 - 50).
Once a dive is made with the unit set as a nitrox computer
(FO2 set for a numerical value), it cannot be programmed to
operate as an 'Air' computer until 24 hours after the last dive.
'Air' will not be displayed as an option in the FO2 Mode.
However, you can set FO2 for 21% for use with Air.
When FO2 is set at a value of 21% (Fig. 11), the unit will
remain set at 21% for subsequent nitrox dives until FO2 is set
to a higher value, or until it automatically turns off and is
reactivated.
Setting FO2 is described on Page 23.
