SET GAS - NORM MODE
Each Gas has an individual FO2 setting, and when Nitrox, an associated PO2 Alarm setting.
Default settings are FO2 Air with no PO2 alarm value for Gas 1, and Off for Gas 2, 3, & 4. Settings revert to the defaults when
24 hours elapse without conducting a dive.
When FO2 is set for Air -
> calculations are the same as when FO2 is set for 21%.
> it remains set for Air until set for Nitrox (21 to 100%).
> O2 data (such as PO2, O2%) will not be displayed at any time during the dive, on the surface, or in Plan mode.
> MODs (Max Operating Depths) will not be displayed on the FO2 set screen.
> internally, it will keep track of O2 data for use if FO2 is subsequently set for Nitrox for repetitive dives.
When FO2 is set for Nitrox -
> Once any Gas is set for Nitrox, any other Gas set for Air will automatically be set to 21%.
> The Air option will not be displayed as an FO2 setting until 24 hours elapse after the last dive.
> The default PO2 alarm for each gas will be 1.40 until it is changed.
When FO2 is set for OFF (Gas 2, 3, 4) -
> That Gas will not be available in the Gas Switch routine during dives (no Switch To - screen).
FO2 50% Default -
> When the 50% Default is set OFF, FO2 values will remain set at their last settings saved until 24 hours elapse without
conducting a dive.
> When the Default is set ON and FO2 is set for Nitrox, 10 minutes on the surface after that dive the FO2 will be displayed
as 50 and further dives will be calculated based on 50% O2 for oxygen calculations and 21% O2 for Nitrogen calculations
(79% Nitrogen), unless FO2 is set before the dive. FO2 will continue to reset to the Default after repetitive dives until 24
hours elapse with no dive, or the Default is set OFF.
