4.12 Remaining bottom time RBT (only with pressure transmitter)
RBT is the time left at the current depth until the point of time when the ascent must be started. The RBT
is shown in the lower display. The RBT is calculated on the basis of the current tank pressure, the tempe-
rature, and the dive data so far registered. The RBT is based on the assumption that the tank pressure
should amount to at least 40 bar at the end of the dive. Alterations to this are possible (see page 88).
The RBT-value should never reach <0:>. With a RBT=0 the remaining tank
reserve may not be guaranteed anymore after ascending. It is possible that
the gas reserve will not be big enough for the ascent.
Correct calculation of RBT when using a reserve or “J“-type valve is possible
only if the reserve function of the valve is in the open (down) position during
the dive.
