Suunto SS019016000 Scuba Diving Equipment User Manual


 
Follow the same procedure as the CC gases to define your open-
circuit gases under the OC Gases settings.
After entering values for Mix1, you can create additional
mixes,Mix2 to Mix8. Each additional mix can be primary, secondary,
or off. Mix1 is always set as a primary gas.
To minimize the risk of error during a dive, it is highly
recommended that the mixes are set in the proper order. This
means that as the mix number rises, so does oxygen content. This is
the order they are usually used during the dive. Before a dive, only
enable the mixes you actually have available and remember to
check the set values to ensure they are correct.
The ascent time is calculated based on the assumption that you start
the ascent profile immediately and all the primary gases are
changed as soon as their maximum operating depth allows it. That
is, using the gases that are set as primary, the most optimal ascent
schedule for the moment is calculated.
To see the most pessimistic ascent schedule, that is, a schedule for
the situation when gases are not changed at all, you can set the
gases as secondary and the time it takes to finish the decompression
using the current breathing gas is shown as the ascent time.
Showing the most pessimistic ascent schedule during a long dive
may result in the ascent time no longer fitting the reserved field,
and the dive watch displays '----'.
