GALILEO 2 TEK (G2TEK) USER MANUAL
The altitude classes are defined in terms of
approximate elevations because the effect
of weather conditions can make the switch
point pressure occur at different levels.
WARNING
At altitude class 4 the G2TEK functions in
Gauge mode only (automatic switch from
computer mode).
F
NOTE: You can check your elevation
by activating the altitude meter. Refer
to chapter:
Altimeter to learn how
to do so .
F
NOTE: The G2TEK deals with
altitude automatically. It monitors
the atmospheric pressure every 60
seconds and if it detects a sufficient
drop in pressure, it indicates the
new altitude range and, if applicable,
the prohibited altitude range. It also
indicates the desaturation time which,
in this case, is an adaptation time to
the new ambient pressure. If a dive is
started during this adaptation time, the
G2TEK considers it a repetitive dive
since the body has residual nitrogen.
3 .3 .3 Prohibited altitude
Going to altitude, as well as flying after
diving, exposes your body to a reduced
ambient pressure. In a manner similar to
no-fly time, the G2TEK advises you the
safe altitude classes to reach after a dive,
and those which are not safe. If you have to
drive over a mountain pass to return home
after a dive, this information can be quite
important.
The prohibited altitude classes are displayed
by yellow (factory initial setting color)
segments inside the stylized mountain icon.
These can be combined with gray (initial
factory setting color) segments indicating
the current altitude. In the example above,
the diver is presently at altitude class 1
and should not reach altitudes of class 4
or higher.
The G2TEK has an altitude warning. If you
reach an altitude that the G2TEK considers
incompatible with your current residual
nitrogen levels, it will warn you with an
altitude warning.
3 .3 .4 Decompression dives in
mountain lakes
In order to ensure optimal decompression,
even at higher altitudes, the decompression
stop starts from 2m/7ft in altitude classes
1, 2 and 3.
If atmospheric pressure is below 610mbar
(altitude higher than 4000m/13300ft), no
decompression calculation is carried out
by the G2TEK (automatic Gauge mode). In
addition, the dive planner is not available in
this altitude class.
