REPETITIONS WITH INCREASES-DECREASES FOR STATIC AND DYNAMIC PROGRAMS.
During training you often need to repeat the sports performance and the subsequent recovery time with a
gradual increase or decrease of time depending on the kind of result you want to achieve. The
management of the times unfortunately become very difficult if it is not
assisted by a companion or if training is necessarily long. With a particular activated function in the STATIC
and DYNAMIC programs called REPS, Drake allows simple convenient and automatic time management.
The notices on the times can be either visual or visual and acoustic and you can determine which time
increases or decreases.
How to activate the REPS function:
To activate the REPS function scroll the menu of the DYNAMIC or STATIC program using the UP and
DOWN buttons until the ALARMS sub menu. To enter the sub-menu, press the MODE button. Several
values to set the alarm appear. Press the UP or DOWN button until the word REPS (flashing) appears in
the lower right of the dial. Press the MODE button. The flashing word OFF will appear. Press once the UP
or DOWN buttons to display the flashing word ON. At the top, a bar dotted next to positive and negative
signs is displayed. Confirm by pressing the Mode button for a few seconds until hearing an acoustic signal
to confirm the exit from the menu. Alternatively, after the last time the buttons are pressed, the computer
will modify the automatic setting by issuing an acoustic signal to return then to the main screen, and then it
will automatically shut down.
Once activated the REPETITION REPS function, it is valid for the FOLLOWING ALARMS:
- SURFACE OR RECOVERY TIME ALARM (STATIC AND DYNAMIC)
- DIVING TIME ALARM (STATIC AND DYNAMIC)
- ALARM OF THE SUM OF DIVING TIME AND SURFACE TIME (DYNAMIC)
Once the REPS function is activated, it is necessary to return to the alarms of surface time, diving time and
alarm of the sum of diving time and surface time to enter the increases and/or decreases. We have already
seen how to get to these alarms and the difference with the previous method will be added to a further
adjustment called INC that can be either positive or negative and that will be displayed at the bottom of the
display below the numbers of alarms. To set an increase or a decrease as soon as you enter the alarm
time press the MODE button once (if the time is the desired one, press MODE twice). The two digits next
to the word INC will flash. Change the value with the UP or DOWN buttons having in mind that the figures
represent the minutes, seconds (sec.) and if the negative sign appears, it indicates a decrease in the alarm
time. Confirm the set value by holding down the Mode button for a few seconds until hearing an acoustic
signal to confirm the exit from the menu. Alternatively, after the last time the buttons are pressed, the
computer will automatically register the changes by issuing an acoustic signal to return then to the main
screen.
At this point, after setting the increase of the alarm time, it is necessary to define how many times this
event should occur. The operation becomes very simple because just scroll with the UP or DOWN buttons
up to the indicator of the tanks or paths counters placed on the left side of the central part of the display
and marked with the words DIVE MAX (this value will flash). Or, in the STATIC program, it is necessary to
scroll up to the value at the bottom left marked by the gate. Enter with the MODE button and change the
value with the UP or DOWN buttons. Confirm the set value by holding down the Mode button for a few
seconds until hearing an acoustic signal to confirm the exit from the menu. Alternatively, after the last time
the buttons are pressed, the computer will automatically register the changes by issuing an acoustic signal
to return then to the main screen. See the previous chapter.
It is possible to set the repetitions for each alarm when they are available. In this way, they will have, at the
same time, variable diving alarm and recovery alarm times
Let's look at an example: In static or dynamic free diving we set the alarm of the surface time SURF.T MAX
at 30 seconds. We set an increase INC of 5 seconds (negative) and at the same time, the repetitions
counter DIVE MAX to 5. In this way, we will have the first alarm after a recovery of 30 seconds, the second
alarm (next to the second diving) after a recovery of 25 seconds, the third alarm after a recovery of 20
seconds, the fourth alarm after a recovery of 15 seconds and finally the fifth alarm (following the fifth
diving) after a recovery of 10 seconds.
Second example: In static or dynamic free diving we set the alarm of the diving time T at 40 seconds. We
set a decrease DIVE MAX of 3 seconds (negative) and at the same time, the repetitions counter DIVE
MAX to 5. This way we will have the first alarm of diving time after 40 seconds of diving, the second alarm
