QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. 

What causes my PO

2

 reading to fluctuate when exposed to air?

A.

Two major reasons you may see the PO

2

 fluctuate while exposed to air.

FIRST: If your connection is not tight or has been allowed a build up of
oxidation/corrosion on the contacts. You may clean the contacts with
electronics cleaner or WD40.
SECOND: If you did not properly calibrate your unit.

Q.

Must I use 100% Oxygen for calibration.

A.

Yes!

 The computer uses 2 reference points for calibration. One being

21% while the other is 100%.

Q.

Should I turn my WU off when it is not in use?

A.

Yes.  While your WU is powered by two alkaline ‘N’ batteries that will
provide a long battery life, you still should turn the WU off when you are
going to be away from the CTU for an extended time.

Q.

Shouldn’t I take the batteries out of the CTU when it is not going to be
used for several months?

A.

No

!  Inside your CTU is a small lithium " COIN CELL " that provides

power for long-term data storage.  Removing the main batteries, or
leaving fully discharged batteries in the CTU, will cause this coin cell to
gradually lose its power.  Also, the time stamp clock does not operate
when the main batteries are removed.

Q

.

Is this coin cell replaceable?

A.

The coin cell can only be replaced by Cochran Undersea Technology
since it requires the opening of the CTU.  By keeping charged batteries
in the CTU, the life of this coin cell is expected to be over ten years.

Q.

When I change the batteries in my CTU, will my unit retain data for the
current dive?

A.

Yes, providing you follow the instructions on battery replacement.

Q.

When I tapped the CTU on, it did not issue the five confirmation beeps?

A.

The CTU may already be on.  Turn your WU on to see if the CTU is
transmitting data.  If it is not, check the batteries to see if their voltage is
low.  In a noisy environment, such as on the boat when it is underway, it
may be difficult to hear the confirmation beeps.

Q.

At what battery voltage will my CTU cease to operate?

A.

Fully charged, the four AA alkaline batteries provide six volts.  When
they discharge to below 4.8 volts, your CTU will not turn on.
