ACTIVATION
• To Manually Activate the d.i.P, press/release either button.
Automatic Activation
Only functional if the Wet Activation feature is set ON (a NORM SET 2 selection).
The
d.i.P
will automatically activate by water contact. This is accomplished by bridging the gap
between contacts located on the stems of the control buttons and pins in the PC Interface data
port.
If the Wet Activation feature is set OFF, the
d.i.P
will only activate by push button and only if
shallower than 1,2 M (4 FT) depth.
• Upon manual push button activation, the unit will enter NORM
(or NAV described later) Diagnostic Mode (Fig. 9), displaying all
segments of the LCD (as 8's), followed by dashes, then a count-
down from 9 to 0.
• Diagnostic Mode checks the display and battery voltage to ensure
everything is within tolerance and functioning properly.
• After manual activation and release of the button, it will check
ambient barometric pressure and calibrate its present Depth as zero.
At elevations of 916 meters (3001 feet) or higher, it will recalibrate
itself to measure Depth in meters/feet of fresh water instead of
meters/feet of sea water.
