DIVE SET 1
WATER:
(SALT/FRESH): It selects the kind of water (SALT= Salty, FRESH= fresh)
Did you know?
The dive computers measure the pressure and convert it depth using the water density as constant.
Without the SALT/FRESH setting the depth reading might be altered (If you dive in fresh water with
WATER=SALT setting the depth detected by the iX3M will be lower than the real one, vice versa if you dive in salt
water with WATER=FRESH setting the depth detected will be higher than the real one.)
DIVE MODE:
It sets your favourite kind of dive which will be activated by the iX3M
when entering water.
ATTENTION
always check that the kind of dive matches with
the one actually carried out.
SCUBA
: the iX3M begins a dive with tanks
GAUGE
: the iX3M begins a dive in Gauge mode
FREE
: the iX3M begins a free dive (without tanks).
it is NOT possible to set the FREE mode as main mode if at least 12 hours have passed from your last SCUBA or GAUGE
dive. The RATIO iX3M sets automatically the SCUBA mode if trying to force the dive with the main mode set on FREE.
Did you know?
If you want to use a different mode without changing the MODE parameter, you can enter the desired mode
pressing the D button in the watch screen and make a dive deeper than 2 m. This way, the iX3M will activate the
mode you have selected without changing the MODE value for that dive only.
PS0, GFL/GFH or R0:
See following pages
DECO CTRL:
(ON/OFF): If activated (ON) the iX3M will not allow to carry out a new dive
during the 12 hrs after a dive in which there have been several deco violations. The
DECO CTRL deactivation (OFF) is not recommended and will remain permanently in the
iX3M Logbook.
ATTENTION: The Safety Stop is NOT considered to be mandatory in those dives carried out within the safety curve. The Safety Stop violation doesn’t
entail penalties in decompression during your next dives and it is not considered to be a “deco violation”. So DO NOT deactivate the DECO CTRL if
you don’t want to carry out the Safety Stop.
