The other unique feature pertaining to set-point maintenance is the algorithm used
to hold the selected set-point. Each manufacture comes up with their own unique
formula to determine when oxygen is injected; the user generally has no control over this
function. The Hammerhead has two user selectable modes, standard mode, which allows
a user defined deviation below set-point before the solenoid will fire, or Juergensen mode
which adapts to depth and distance from set-point to determine firing duration and
frequency.
Each handset has two buttons, which are used for programming and control.
Pressing either button will activate the backlight for the user chosen time, and will wake
up a handset that is in sleep mode. The left
button scrolls through menu selections and
values while the right button selects the current
value. The handsets will timeout after a 10
second period of inactivity, and return to the
normal operation mode. Several options will
require confirmation. Failure to confirm action
cancels any changes. The handset Backlight
and LEDs also serve as a CRITICAL
ALARM. This alarm is disabled on the
primary while operating in open circuit mode
The design goal of the HammerHead electronics was to make the safest CCR
controller in the industry. All reasonable attempts have been made to prevent a single
failure from becoming a life-threatening occurrence. When the electronics were being
designed, Kevin Juergensen sketched out what he called a “Threat Matrix”, listing
possible conditions along with generated warnings and solutions.
