A300 CS OPERATING MANUAL

© 2002 Design, 2014

Doc. No. 12-7287-r03 (7/14/14)

ALTITUDE SENSING AND ADJUSTMENT

Prior to the first dive of a series of repetitive dives, Altitude (i.e., ambient pressure) is measured upon activation then every 15 

minutes until a dive is made.  

  

>  Measurements are only taken when the unit is dry.  

>  Two readings are taken, the second reading 5 seconds after the first.  The readings must be within 1 foot (30 cm) of each 

other to record that ambient pressure as the current Altitude. 

>  No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged.    

When diving in high altitude waters from 3,001 to 14,000 feet (916 to 4,270 meters), the A300 CS automatically adjusts to 

these conditions providing corrected Depth, and reduced No Deco and O2 Times at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters).  

At an elevation of 3,001 feet (916 meters), Depth calibration automatically changes from feet of seawater to feet of fresh water.  

This is the first adjustment to the algorithm.

When the Conservative Factor feature is set On, NDLs are calculated based upon the next higher 3,000 foot (915 meter) Alti-

tude.  All adjustments for Altitudes greater than 11,000 feet (3,355 meters) are then made to allowable dive times for 14,000 

feet (4,270 meters).  At Sea Level, calculations are based upon an Altitude of 6,000 feet.  

The A300 CS will not function above 14,000 feet (4,270 meters). 

---------------------------------------------------------

CARE AND CLEANING

Protect your unit from shock, excessive temperatures, exposure to chemicals, and tampering.  Protect the lens against scratches 

with a Instrument Lens Protector.  Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater. 

•  Soak and rinse the A300 CS in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the 

low pressure (depth) sensor (Fig. 95a), data port (Fig. 95b), and buttons are free of debris or obstructions.  Soak and rinse 

the regulator with the transmitter attached. 

•  To dissolve salt crystals, use lukewarm water or  a slightly acidic bath (50% white vinegar/50% fresh water).  After removal 

from the bath, place the A300 CS and the regulator assembly with transmitter under gently running water and towel dry 

before storing.  

•  Transport your A300 CS system cool, dry, and protected.

INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE

Your A300 CS should be inspected annually

 

by an Authorized AERIS Dealer who will perform a factory prescribed function 

check and inspection for damage or wear.  To keep the 2 year limited warranty in effect, this inspection must be completed one 

year after purchase (+/- 30 days). 

AERIS recommends that you continue to have an inspection performed every year to ensure it is working properly.  The costs of 

annual inspections are not covered under the terms of the 2 year limited warranty.

To Obtain Service:

Take your A300 CS to an Authorized AERIS Dealer.

To return your A300 CS to AERIS:

•  Record all data in the viewable Log and/or download the data in memory.  All data will be erased during factory service. 

•  Package it using a protective cushioning material.

•  Include a legible note stating the specific reason for return, your name, address, daytime phone number, serial number(s), 

and a copy of your original sales

 

receipt and Warranty Registration Card.

•  Send freight prepaid and insured using a traceable method to AERIS.

•  If shipping to AERIS, obtain an RA (Return Authorization) number by contacting AERIS Customer Service at 510/346-0010 

x764 or send an email to [email protected].

•  Non warranty service must be prepaid. COD is not accepted.
