Smart dive computers
1 System description
TEC displays all important dive and decompression data and comes with a unique multichannel receiver,
which can receive tank pressure data from up to 3 transmitters. Each transmitter is mounted at the high
pressure (HP) outlet of the regulator, where it measures the tank pressure and radio transmits the infor-
mation to TEC. UWATEC's specially patented transmission process prevents interference and ensures con-
tinuous and reliable reception
TEC has a data memory which stores the dive data. The data can be transmitted with an infrared inter-
face (IrDA) and the SmartTRAK software to a Windows
®
personal computer.
The SmartTRAK CD software is included with the TEC Package. Infrared interfaces are available in PC sto-
res. A list of recommended interfaces is available on the UWATEC homepage (www.uwatec.com).

On page 5 you will find an operating schematic.
2.1 Operating elements
TEC has 4 operating contacts B, E, +, – on the outside of the housing. For
manual operation, touch base contact B and any one of the other three contac-
ts above the display with moistened fingers («bridging» contacts).
Contact B:
Base contact, which has to be touched for all operations.
Contact E:
Enter contact. It serves to switch on TEC and to confirm or enter the
displayed value. It is therefore comparable to the ENTER or RETURN key of a
keyboard.
+ / – Contacts:
These allow to navigate between menus and, once inside a
menu, to increase or decrease the indicated value.
