HelmetView Remote Display

HelmetView is an optional remote display that can be mounted on
a Kirby Morgan

dive helmet using an accessory screw. The

display will show the measured thickness value or the echo bars

just like the DIVE’s display. HelmetView enables the diver to view

thickness measurements in limited visibility or black water.

HelmetView is supplied as a remote display unit with 1.5 meters of
cable with connector and a mounting bracket to suit the Kirby
Morgan

helmets.

HelmetView is simply plugged into the spare connector on the

opposite side to the probe cable. When the DIVE gauge is turned
on the remote display will

reflect the gauge’s display.

Fitting the Mounting Bracket

The mounting bracket is screwed to the rear of the HelmetView
display using two M3 x 6mm screws.
