The transmitter enters power saving mode with slower data transmission rate if the tank
pressure remains unchanged for more than five (5) minutes.
The optional transmitter sends out a low battery (batt) warning when its battery voltage is
getting low. This is shown intermittently instead of the pressure reading. When you get this
warning, the tank pressure transmitter's battery needs to be replaced.
3.19.2. Installing and pairing transmitter
When purchasing the Suunto Wireless Transmitter, we strongly recommend that you have
your Suunto representative attach the transmitter to the first stage of your regulator.
The unit needs to be undergo a pressure test after installation and typically this requires a
trained technician.
In order to receive wireless data, the transmitter and the Suunto D6M need to be paired.
The wireless transmitter activates when the tank pressure exceeds 15 bar (300 psi). The
transmitter then starts sending pressure data together with a code number.
When your Suunto D6M is within 0.3 m (1 ft) of the transmitter, it receives and stores that code.
The transmitter and Suunto D6M are now paired. Suunto D6M will then display the pressure
data it receives with this code. This coding procedure prevents data mix-up from other divers
also using a Suunto Wireless Transmitter.
NOTE: The pairing procedure normally only needs to be done once. You may need to
redo the pairing procedure if another diver in your group uses the same code.
To assign a new transmitter code:
1. Slowly open the tank valve fully to pressurize the system.
2. Immediately close the tank valve.
3. Quickly depressurize the regulator so that the pressure is reduced to less than 10 bar (145
psi).
4. Wait about 10 seconds, and slowly open the tank valve again to re-pressurize above 15 bar
(300 psi).
The transmitter assigns a new code automatically. To re-pair the transmitter with your Suunto
D6M:
1. While in a dive mode other than Gauge, keep [DOWN] pressed to enter the settings.
2. Press [DOWN] to scroll to Tank Press Pairing and press SELECT.
3. Make sure TANK PRESS PAIRING is set to ON and press [SELECT] .
4. A code number is displayed. Press [UP] to clear the code.
5. Press [SELECT] .
6. Press [MODE] to exit.
With the system pressurized to above 15 bar (300 psi), bring your Suunto D6M close to the
transmitter. When pairing is completed, the dive computer displays the new code number and
the transmitted tank pressure.
The wireless transmitter indicator is displayed every time a valid signal is received.
3.19.3. Transmitted data
After pairing, your Suunto D6M receives tank pressure data from the transmitter.
