Dive Phase Description
Petrel Display
PPO2
Calibration
If the PPO2 sensors need calibration,
follow the instructions from your rebreather
manufacturer�
On the PPO2 calibration screen, the top row
displays the millvolt (mV) reading from each
sensor� The middle row is the current PPO2
(from the last calibration)� The bottom row
shows the fraction of oxygen setting�
After calibration completes a results screen
will be displayed� Note that the PPO2 might
not match the FO2 exactly, due to the ambient
pressure not being exactly 1 ata�
Ready to
Dive
The dive is now ready to begin�
Note on
Hypoxic
Diluents
Hypoxic diluents such as the 10/50 in this
example require special training since they can
be deadly near the surface�
Pressing SELECT brings up the first info
screen which shows the diluent PPO2� The red
indicates it is unsafe to breathe directly�
You can view this info at any time to verify
that the diluent is safe or to check what the
expected PPO2 will be when flushing with
diluent at depth�
Auto
Setpoint
Switch
The optional auto setpoint switch was enabled
with a depth setting of 15m�
So as we cross 15m on the descent, the
setpoint automatically switches from 0�7 to 1�3�
