Select Nitrox Computations (Off or On):
This option enables and
disables NITROX computations. If this option is disabled, mixtures other
than 21.0% oxygen will be disallowed. Furthermore, if this option is
selected as OFF, the EMC-16 will not compute CNS Toxicity, OTU Dose,
or maximum PO2 alarm. The factory setting for this option is ‘On’.
Enter Normal Blend Oxygen % in FO
2
Nitrox Mixture (21.0 to 50.0):
For Constant FO
2
mode, this option allows the user to enter the desired
Oxygen percentage for the FO
2
Blend in 0.1% increments. Values from
21.0% to 99.9% may be entered. This option may also be set via the
Touch Contact Programming method. As shipped from the factory, this is
set to 21.0%.
Enter Deco Blend Oxygen % in FO
2
Nitrox Mixture (21.0 to 99.9):
For
Constant FO
2
mode, this option allows the user to enter the desired
Oxygen percentage for the FO
2
Deco Blend in 0.1% increments. For
Constant PO
2
mode, this option specifies the FO
2
blend percentage if and
when the unit switches to FO
2
computations. Values from 21.0% to 99.9%
may be entered. This option may also be set via the Touch Contact
Programming method. As shipped from the factory, this is set to 21.0%.
Enter Deco Blend Bottom Time Activation Minutes:
Here, you will
enter the bottom time benchmark for switching to the Deco Blend. The
Field Programming Mode previously described may also modify this
setting. As shipped from the factory, this is set to 600. This option may
also be set via the Touch Contact Programming method.
Enter Deco Blend Ascent Depth Activation:
Here, you will enter the
depth benchmark, which you will need to be above for switching to the
Deco Blend. The Field Programming Mode previously described may also
modify this setting. As shipped from the factory, this is set to 10 feet. This
option may also be set via the Touch Contact Programming method.
Select Deco Blend Nitrox Switching (Enabled or Disabled):
This
option enables the unit to switch to the Deco blend. If it is disabled the
EMC-16 will not switch to the Decompression gas blend. As shipped from
the factory, this set to ‘Enabled’.
High PO2 Alarm Point (0.50 to 1.59):
This option allows the diver to
select a maximum PO2 (Partial Pressure of Oxygen) at which an alarm is
sounded. Values from 0.50 to 1.59 are allowed. This is set to a PO2 of
1.40 at the factory before shipping.
Selectable NDC Conservatism (0% to 50%):
This feature allows the
diver to input an added degree of conservatism to the decompression
algorithm from 0 to 50 percent in one-percent increments. This may be
desirable if the diver is dehydrated, tired, or has some other factor that
warrants added conservatism. This option may also be set via the Touch
Contact Programming. Conservatism is set to ‘0%’ as shipped from the
factory.
Enable Mix Switching In Deco Forecast (Enabled or Disabled):
This
option enables the unit to forecast decompression times utilizing the
programmed deco gas for stops that are shallower than the switch depth.
As shipped from the factory this option is disabled.
High CNS Alarm Point (40% to 80%):
This option allows the diver to
select a maximum CNS (Central Nervous System) exposure at which an
alarm is sounded. Values from 40% to 80% are allowed. This is set to
50% at the factory before shipping.
High OTU Alarm Point (40% to 80%):
This option allows the diver to
select a maximum OTU (Oxygen Tolerance Units) exposure at which an
alarm is sounded. Values from 40% to 80% are allowed. This is set to
50% at the factory before shipping.
Confined Water Protocol (Training Mode) - (Enabled or Disabled):
This option enables the Training Mode for the EMC-16. In this mode the
EMC-16 will enter the Dive Mode at 2 feet instead of 5 feet and exit the
Dive Mode at 1 foot instead of 3 feet. The Training Mode also permits the
selection of an increased Post Dive Interval period from 10 to 30 minutes
in one-minute increments. These changes permit the Instructor to record
a complete training session, including in-water surface periods, as a single
dive. As shipped from the factory, this is set to ‘Disabled’.
This option can
only be ‘Enabled’ via the Professional Edition of the Analyst
®
.
Training Mode Post Dive Interval Period (10 to 30):
If the Training Mode
is enabled this allows the user to select the duration of the Post Dive
Interval period from a minimum of 10 minutes to a maximum of 30 minutes
in one-minute increments. As shipped from the factory, this is set to 10.
This option can only be set via the Professional Edition of the
Analyst
®
.
Select Clock Functions (ON or OFF):
This option allows the diver to
enable or disable the time of day Clock. If set to ON the clock time can be
set via Touch Contact Programming method. As shipped from the factory,
this is set to OFF.
Enter Clock Time:
This allows the diver to set the clock’s time to that of
the P.C. time.
Select Alarm Clock Audible Alarm (ON or OFF):
This option allows the
diver to enable or disable the time of day Clock’s Alarm feature. If set to
ON the Alarm Clock time can be set via Touch Contact Programming. As
shipped from the factory, this is set to OFF.
Enter Alarm Clock Hour (0 to 23):
This allows the diver to program the
time of day Alarm Clock’s hour setting. The Alarm Clock’s time utilizes a
24 hour format, i.e. 0 = 12:00 am, 20 = 8:00 pm, etc. This is also settable
via Touch Contact Programming.
Enter Alarm Clock Minute (0 to 60):
This allows the diver to program the
time of day Alarm Clock’s minute setting. This is also settable via Touch
Contact Programming.
Restore Original Configuration Settings:
This allows the diver to restore
the original factory default settings with a single command.

CLEANING THE EMC-16:
Clean the unit only with fresh water after each
use and towel dry; never use air pressure to dry the unit. This could
damage the unit and will void the warranty. Do not use chemicals to clean
the case or lens as this may damage the unit, or permanently fog the lens.
CHANGING BATTERY:
The
EMC-16 will operate on either one 3V
Lithium Battery (CR12600SE or CR2NP) this is the recommended battery
or two 1.5V N-Cell size Alkaline battery(s) if a 3V Lithium battery is not
available. The batteries should be changed when the ‘BATT’ legend is
seen or battery voltage reaches 2.5 volts as can be seen on the
Information Display. The unit will operate until the battery voltage drops
below 2.0 volts. Only use fresh batteries for maximum battery life. At this
time,
Eveready Energizer
Alkaline is recommended for the N-Cells. Care
should be taken not to activate the TACLITE™ during battery replacement.
Be sure to confirm that the batteries are REALLY new and have not been
sitting on a shelf losing life. Cold temperatures tend to shorten apparent
battery life. Change batteries every two years regardless of battery
condition.
Plus end goes in First.
CAUTION!!!
Putting the battery(s) in backwards may cause
permanent damage to the unit and will VOID the Warranty.
When installing new batteries, ensure that the positive “
+
” end of the
battery is inserted into the battery compartment first. Inspect the battery
cap O-rings for nicks and scratches. If either O-ring is damaged carefully
remove both O-rings and replace with new silicone O-rings. Lightly
lubricate each end of the batteries with silicone grease or petroleum jelly to
help minimize corrosion and therefore extend battery life.
