The next option allows the diver to put the handset in
either open circuit or close circuit mode. In open circuit
mode, solenoid control is disabled, unless the PO
2
falls
to 0.19Ata. This function serves two purposes. The first
allows the diver to bail onto open circuit and still have
decompression obligations calculated. The second is to
use the handset as a stand-alone dive computer. The left
button toggles between modes while the right button
selects displayed mode. The system has a short cut out
of open circuit and into closed circuit. If the diver
chooses a set-point while the handset is in operating in
open circuit, the handset immediately switches to closed
circuit mode with the selected set-point.
The next set of options is entered through the
“OPT” menu. Selecting this screen enters a sub-menu
containing programming, calibration, and testing
options. Some of these selections will be locked out for
safety once the handset enters dive mode.
The first function under the “OPT” menu is the “DEFINE GAS” option; this allows the
diver to program up to ten custom mixes. These gases can be any nitrogen-oxygen,
helium-oxygen, oxygen, or trimix. Each gas can have a user-selected name consisting of
6 characters and should be named to allow easy identification..
Once the “Define Gas” screen is displayed, the diver must press the right button to
select. The next prompt is “Gas Mix 1”, continue pressing the left button until the mix to
be programmed is displayed. The right button will enter the gas-naming screen. Choose
any name up to six characters; the current character will be displayed with the character
underlined. The left button will cycle through available characters while the right button
proceeds to the next character. After all six characters have been entered; entry of the gas
composition will be prompted, starting with the oxygen percentage followed by the
helium percentage. The remainder will be assumed nitrogen. For oxygen, enter an oxygen
percentage of 99%.
