Basic Setup
Before using the computer there are several things that need to be configured. This is not an
exhaustive list of the pre-requisites for diving the system, but a suggestion of key tasks�
• On a system with external oxygen sensors,
calibrate the oxygen sensors
�
• In the System Setup menu
set the units
to metric or imperial, also set the date and time�
• Depending on the model of computer,
enter the gases
that you will use for the closed
circuit portion of your dive, and/or enter the gases for you will use for open circuit�
• The system will use the gases that are available in the order of oxygen content during the
Time To Surface (TTS) prediction� The system will use the next available gas that has a
PPO2 of less than 1�0 for closed circuit diving�
• If the computer is in open circuit or is switched to open circuit during a dive, the system will
calculate the TTS based on the configured open circuit gases that are available. It will use
the next available gas that has a PPO2 of less than 1�6 for open circuit diving�
NOTE:
These gases are used automatically only for TTS predictions� The gas used to
calculate the current tissue load and the current ceiling is always the gas actually selected by
the diver�
