FEATURES and DISPLAYS

5

OVERVIEW

Your

d.i.P

presents the information that you need before, during, and after your Normal (NORM) or Navigation (NAV) dives using a combination of easy to read displays and identification icons.

• When set to operate in NORM mode, it functions as a digital depth gauge/timer.

• When set to operate in NAV mode, Headings with Countdown Times that are uploaded from the associated PC Interface program are provided.

• While operating in either NORM or NAV Mode, all data associated with NAV Mode can be deleted (cleared) if necessary to prevent missions from being retraced.

This instructional guide is intended to help you become familiar with the functions and features available and show you examples of displays that you could expect to see in the operational modes. Read through the complete manual thoroughly.

The rules that you learned during your training still apply to the diving you will do while using the

d.i.P

- some will become even more important. Technology is no substitute for common sense and the

d.i.P

only provides the person using it with data, not the knowledge to use it.

CONTROL BUTTONS

The two Control Buttons allow you to select operating modes and display options, access specific information when you want to see it, and operate the Backlight. In NAV mode, they allow you to start/stop Elapsed Dive Time and call up, start/stop NAV SNs (Legs).

The Left button (Fig. 1a) is named A (Advance) and the Right button (Fig. 1b) is named S (Se-

lect).

6

ASCENT RATE BAR GRAPH (ASC)

The Ascent Rate Bar Graph (Fig. 1c) provides a visual representation of Ascent Speed (i.e., an ascent speedometer). More segments indicate faster Rates of Ascent.

The segments of the Ascent Rate Bar Graph represent 2 Scales referred to as Standard and Navy (based on French Navy tables) which can be selected using the associated PC Interface program.

Standard has 2 sets of speeds that change at a reference depth of 18

M (60 FT). Refer to the Specifications section for segment values.

WARNING: When set for Standard and at depths greater than 18 M (60 FT), Ascent Rates should not exceed 18 MPM (60 FPM). At depths of 18 M (60

FT) and shallower, Ascent Rates should not exceed 9 MPM (30 FPM). When set for Navy, Ascent

Rates should not exceed 18.5 MPM (60 FPM).

INFORMATIONAL DISPLAYS

Each numeric and graphic display represents a unique piece of information. It is imperative that you understand the formats, ranges, and values of the information represented to avoid any possible misunderstanding that could result in error.

Depth Displays

During a dive, the Current Depth display (Fig. 2a), indicates

Depths from 0 to 120 M (400 FT) in 0,1 M (1 FT) increments or 1

M increments when greater than 99,9 M. The Maximum Depth reached during that dive will be displayed during the first 5 minutes on the surface after a NORM (Normal) dive (Fig. 2b).

Time and Date Displays

Time displays are shown in hour:minute format (i.e., :02:36 represents 2 hours and 36 minutes, not 236 minutes!). The colons blink twice per second when the display is indicating real time.

• Time of Day identified by the h icon (Fig. 3a) can be set for 12 hour format or 24 hour format.

Date is displayed only to identify dive data while it is viewed in the Memo Mode.

• When Units of Measure are set for Metric, the Month appears to the right of Day (Fig. 3b). When set for Imperial units, the

Month appears to the left of Day.

8

Fig. 3 - DATE/TIME

Temperature Display

Ambient Temperature identified by the degrees and C (or F) icons (Fig. 4a) is displayed while in the Surface Mode and can be viewed as part of an Alternate Display when the A (Advance/Left) button is pressed while in NORM Dive mode.

NOTE: The Informational Displays are described in detail as the various operating modes they appear in are presented throughout this manual.

a

AUDIBLE ALARM

Fig. 4 - TEMPERATURE

A single short beep is emitted after the Diagnostic check. When most warning situations activate the Alarm, the unit will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds, or less if the situation is corrected, or it is acknowledged by pressing the A (Advance/Left) button for

2 seconds. If acknowledged by the diver and the situation corrected, the Alarm will sound again upon reentry into the warning situation, or entry into another type of warning situation.

Warning situations that will sound the Alarm, if ON -

• NORM or NAV Max Depth > Alarm Set Point (user set).

• NORM PO2 > Alarm Set Point (user set).

• NORM Elapsed Dive Time > Alarm Set Point (user set).

• NORM Ascent Rate exceeds 18 MPM (60 FPM) if > 18 M (60 FT) or 9 MPM (30 FPM) if =<

18 M (60 FT) when Ascent Scale is set for Standard.

• NORM Ascent Rate exceeds 18.5 MPM (60 FPM) if > 18 M (60 FT) when Ascent Scale is set for Navy.

• NAV Serial Number (Leg) Count Down Timers reach :00:03 (:min:sec)

9

BACKLIGHT

• The Backlight does not operate during a Low Battery condition. If it is ON at the time, it will automatically turn OFF.

To turn the Backlight ON while operating in NORM mode when on the Surface or during a dive:

> press and release the S (Select/Right) button momentarily (< 2 seconds).

• The screens will be illuminated for button depression time plus 0, 5, or 10 seconds (the Backlight Duration time set by the user).

> Press the button again to activate as desired.

• The Backlight does not operate when the Chrono Start/Stop screen is being displayed.

To turn the Backlight ON or OFF while operating in NAV mode when on the Surface or underwater:

> press and release the S (Select/Right) button momentarily (< 2 seconds).

• If NAV Backlight Mode is set for Constant, the screens will remain illuminated until the S button is pressed again to deactivate it.

• If NAV Backlight Mode is set for Time Out, the screens will remain illuminated for 0, 5, or 10 seconds (the Backlight Duration time set in NORM Set Mode).

> Press the button again to activate as desired.

• When operating in NAV mode, Backlight Level (illumination) will be 50% of the NORM

100% Level of illumination.

• Using the PC Interface program, the Backlight can be selected to come ON when NAV Serial

Number (Leg) Count Down Timers reach :00:03 (:min:sec)

10

POWER SUPPLY

The d.i.P utilizes one (1) type CR 2450 Lithium 3 volt cell that will provide a minimum of 50 hours operation with the Backlight ON constantly at 50% in NAV mode.

Battery Status Indication

The status of the Battery is displayed on an Altitude/Battery Status screen that appears after Activation and the Diagnostic check.

If battery voltage is satisfactory (=> 2,75 volts), the graphics bAtt and OP will be displayed (Fig. 5a/b).

If voltage is below 2,75 volts, the graphic bAtt will be displayed with the Low Battery icon (flash symbol) that will continue to be displayed in Surface Mode, flashing (Fig. 6a).

Low Battery Condition

Voltage level is checked upon activation and every minute during operation on the surface.

• If a Low Battery Condition exists when the unit is activated (by pressing a button), the Low Battery icon will appear flashing once per second for 5 seconds followed by shutdown of the unit.

a b

Fig. 5 - BATTERY STATUS a

Fig. 6 - LOW BATTERY

(ACTIVATION)

11

• If a button is not pressed to activate the unit prior to a dive, and a Low Battery Condition exists, the Low Battery icon will appear flashing as a warning upon descent to 1,2 M (4 FT) if set for NORM mode operation or 0,6 M (2 FT) if set for NAV mode operation. No other information will be displayed.

• If the unit did not display the Low Battery icon 'prior to' entering the Dive Mode, and a Low

Battery Condition occurs during the dive, there will be sufficient battery power to maintain unit operation for the remainder of 'that dive'. The Low Battery icon will then appear upon ascending to 0,6 M (2 FT) if set for NORM or NAV mode operation.

When the Battery is removed, Settings are reset to their default values after 8 seconds. If a new

Battery can be inserted within 8 seconds, the Settings will be retained.

NOTE: Battery change procedures are described later in this manual.

12

NORM FO2

NOTE: FO2 applies only to NORM mode. Setting

FO2 is described later in NORM SET 1.

After Activation, the d.i.P will operate in NORM mode with a default FO2 setting of AIR (Fig. 7) unless the user sets FO2 for a numerical value between 21 and 100 % (Fig. 8).

When FO2 is set for AIR, the unit will perform PO2 calculations the same as if FO2 were set for 21% oxygen, internally accounting for oxygen loading for any repetitive NORM dives. However, PO2 displays and warnings will not appear on the display for that dive, or subsequent dives, unless FO2 is set for a numerical value (21 to

100%).

NOTE: FO2 will remain at the value set by the user until changed or the unit shuts Off at which time

FO2 will default to AIR and operate set at AIR upon reactivation. FO2 can then be set by the user to the value desired for each dive.

ACTIVATION and SETUP

15

ACTIVATION

• To Manually Activate the d.i.P, press/release either button.

Automatic Activation

Only functional if the Wet Activation feature is set ON (a NORM SET 2 selection).

The d.i.P will automatically activate by water contact. This is accomplished by bridging the gap between contacts located on the stems of the control buttons and pins in the PC Interface data port.

If the Wet Activation feature is set OFF, the d.i.P will only activate by push button and only if shallower than 1,2 M (4 FT) depth.

• Upon manual push button activation, the unit will enter NORM

(or NAV described later) Diagnostic Mode (Fig. 9), displaying all segments of the LCD (as 8's), followed by dashes, then a countdown from 9 to 0.

• Diagnostic Mode checks the display and battery voltage to ensure everything is within tolerance and functioning properly.

• After manual activation and release of the button, it will check ambient barometric pressure and calibrate its present Depth as zero.

At elevations of 916 meters (3001 feet) or higher, it will recalibrate itself to measure Depth in meters/feet of fresh water instead of meters/feet of sea water.

16

Fig. 9 - NORM DIAGNOSTIC

• During the next 5 seconds, the Altitude Level and Battery Status screen will be displayed. The Altitude icon (Mountain symbol) and graphic ALt appear with the Level number 0 or 2 through 7

(Fig. 10a). The graphic bAtt also appears with the graphic OP indicating that the Battery is operational or the Low Battery icon

(Lightning bolt symbol) indicating that the Battery should be replaced.

• If values are acceptable, the unit will enter Surface Mode. If any value is not acceptable, the unit will shut down in 5 seconds.

• If no dive is made within 3 hours after initial activation, the unit will automatically deactivate. If the wet contacts are still bridged, the unit will then reactivate and display the H2O graphic.

WARNINGS AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

• The percentage of oxygen (FO2) in the Nitrox mix being used must be

'set before each Nitrox dive'.

• Until it has shut itself off, you should not use the d.i.P at a different Altitude than the Altitude at which it was activated. Doing so will result in an error equal to the difference in barometric pressure, and possibly a false dive mode with erroneous data.

• To provide proper Altitude compensation for Depth and PO2, the d.i.P

must be manually activated at the new Altitude. Digital instruments such as the d.i.P cannot sense changes in barometric pressure if activated by immersion in water at higher Altitudes.

• Every effort should be made to keep the Ascent Bar Graph in the normal zone throughout your dives to reduce your risk of the effects of excessive Ascent Rates.

• In the event that High PO2 occurs, you should focus on reducing PO2 by slowly Ascending to a shallower depth at a safe rate in accordance with your training to reduce the risk of oxygen toxicity.

NOTE: At any time when the d.i.P is Activated, while operating in any mode on the surface or underwater, depressing the A (Left) button for

10 seconds will stop NAV Elapsed Dive Time (if running) and after another 20 seconds Delete (Clear) all NAV Serial Number (Leg) data.

ALTITUDE SAMPLING/COMPENSATION

NOTE: This information relating to Altitude pertains to calibration/compensation and adjustments of Depth readings and calculations of NDLs. It does not affect Altitude levels appearing on operating displays.

Atmospheric (barometric) Pressure decreases as Altitude increases above sea level. Weather systems and ambient temperature also affect barometric pressures. Consequently, Depth reading instruments that do not compensate for the decrease in pressure indicate Depth readings shallower than the Depth they are actually at.

The DIP automatically compensates for decreased ambient pressure when activated at high Altitudes up to 4,270 meters (14,000 feet).

The DIP senses ambient pressure when it is manually activated, every 15 minutes while it is operating on the surface, or every 30 minutes when it is not activated. At an Altitude of 916 meters

(3,001 feet), it will automatically recalibrate itself to measure Depth in meters (feet) of fresh water rather than feet of sea water. It will then readjust the calibration at additional intervals of 305 meters (1,000 feet). Therefore, when returning to lower Altitudes, diving should not be conducted until the unit automatically resets to operate at the new lower Altitude level.

WARNING: The MDG will not sense ambient pressures or provide Altitude

Compensation when it is wet. DO NOT dive at any different Altitude until the unit shuts Off and is reactivated at the new Altitude level. If the unit is activated at elevations higher than 4,270 meters (14,000 feet), it will perform a Diagnostic check followed by immediate shutdown.

52

NOTE: At any time when the d.i.P is Activated, while operating in any mode on the surface or underwater, depressing the A (Left) button for

10 seconds will stop NAV Elapsed Dive Time (if running) and after another 20 seconds Delete (Clear) all NAV Serial Number (Leg) data.

NAV MODE

53

OVERVIEW OF NAV (NAVIGATION) MODE

As indicated previously, the d.i.P is configured with a unique

NAV (Navigation) Mode. Information such as SNs (Serial

Numbers) or NAV Leg #s, SN Headings, and SN CDTs (Count

Down Times) are entered only using the PC Interface program.

Fig. 55 - PRIOR TO FIRST DIVE

Once a Dive is started in NAV Mode, it essentially stays in Dive

Mode and data displayed continues without regard to Depth

(e.g., there is no real Surface Mode, only Dive Mode while on the surface with zero Depth).

Fig. 56 - DURING NAV DIVE

If the diver surfaces after an initial Descent is made, Depth will be displayed as 0,0 M (0 FT) instead of as 3 dashes as it is upon surfacing after a NORM Dive.

When NAV Mode is set ON, the d.i.P will initially enter NAV

Dive Mode upon Descending to 0,6 M (2 FT) for 3 seconds and display the NAV DIVE MAIN screen.

Sample screens:

• Fig 55 - Depth prior to the first Descent as 3 dashes (- - -) M

(FT).

• Fig 56 - Depths after Descent to 0,6 M (2 FT) as actual.

• Fig 57 - Depths of 0,3 and 0,0 M (1 and 0 FT) as 0,0 M (0

FT).

Fig. 57 - AFTER SURFACING

54

Once NAV Mode is set ON, the d.i.P will remain in NAV Mode until NAV Mode is set OFF. Upon reactivation or after selecting

NAV Mode ON, if it was previously set OFF, NAV Diagnostic

Mode will be displayed then NAV Pre Dive Surface Mode.

CARE AND CLEANING

Protect your d.i.P from shock, excessive temperatures, chemical attack, and tampering. Protect the Lens against scratches with an Instrument Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater.

CAUTION: Never spray aerosols of any kind on, or near, the instrument. The propellants may chemically attack the plastic.

• Soak and rinse the d.i.P in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the low pressure (Depth) sensor (Fig. 75a), PC Interface Port (Fig. 75b), and

Buttons are free of debris or obstructions.

• To dissolve salt crystals, soak the unit in a bath consisting of

50% white vinegar and 50% fresh lukewarm water.

• After removal from the bath, place the unit under gently running water and towel dry before storing.

• Transport your unit cool, dry, and protected.

WARNING: Never force any object through any slots or holes of the Housing. Doing so may damage the Depth Sensor, possibly resulting in erroneous Depth readings.

WARNING: If a Low Battery Condition is indicated prior to a dive, DO NOT attempt to dive with the d.i.P until the Battery is replaced.

INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE

Your d.i.P should be inspected annually by an Authorized d.i.P Service Technician who will perform a factory prescribed function check and inspection for damage or wear.

It is recommended that you continue to have this inspection performed every year to ensure it is working properly.

WARNING: If you are in doubt about the accuracy of your d.i.P's Depth readings, DO NOT attempt to dive with it until it has been inspected by an Authorized d.i.P Service Technician.

It is possible to damage the Depth Sensor of the d.i.P if it is not pressure tested properly. Ensure that the Service Technician adheres to the following Warning.

WARNING: Ensure that the d.i.P is never pressure tested in an air environment. Doing so may damage the Depth Sensor, possibly resulting in erroneous Depth readings.

To Obtain Service

Take your d.i.P to an Authorized d.i.P Service Technician.

Fig. 76 -RING REMOVAL

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The Battery Compartment should only be opened in a dry and clean environment with extreme care taken to prevent the entrance of moisture, sand, debris, or dust.

As an additional precautionary measure to prevent formation of moisture in the Battery Compartment, it is recommended that the

Battery be changed in an environment equivalent to the local outdoor temperature and humidity (e.g., do not change the Battery in an air conditioned environment then take it outside during a hot sunny day).

Battery Hatch Removal

• Inspect the Buttons, Lens, and Housing to ensure they are not cracked or damaged.

• If there is any sign of moisture in the module, DO NOT use the

d.i.P until it receives proper service by an Authorized d.i.P Service Technician, or the factory.

• Locate the Battery Compartment on the back of the Housing.

• While applying steady inward pressure on the clear Battery

Hatch, rotate the Hatch Ring clockwise 10 degrees by turning it with the Battery Hatch tool, or by pressing on the upper/right arm of the Ring with a small blade screwdriver (Fig. 76).

• An adjustable face spanner tool or a pair of pointed pliers can also be used instead of the Battery Hatch tool by inserting the tips of the spanner tool in the small holes in the Ring (Fig. 77).

• Lift the Hatch Ring up and away from the Housing.

• Remove the Battery Hatch.

WARNING: If damage, moisture, or corrosion is found, it is recommended that you return your d.i.P

to an Authorized d.i.P Service Technician, and DO

NOT attempt to use it until it has received factory prescribed service.

NOTE: If the old Battery can be removed and the new one inserted within 8 seconds settings will be retained.

Battery Removal

• Remove the Retaining Bar located across the lower portion of the Battery (Fig. 78a).

• Remove the Hatch O-ring. DO NOT use tools.

• Using care not to damage the Battery Contacts (Fig. 78 b/c), slide the Battery up and out of the right side of the Battery Compartment.

Battery Installation

• Slide a new 3 volt type CR2450 Lithium Battery, negative (-) side down into the Battery Cavity from the right side and ensure that it slides under the contact clip on the left rim of the cavity.

• Orient the Retaining Bar across the lower portion of the Battery

(Fig. 79a) and carefully push it down into position.

Battery Hatch and Hatch Ring Installation

• Lightly lubricate the new Hatch O-ring with silicone grease and place it on the inner rim of the Battery Hatch. Ensure that it is evenly seated. This O-ring must be a genuine d.i.P part.

• Slide the Hatch Ring, top portion first (small opening), onto your thumb (Fig. 80).

• Carefully place the Battery Hatch (with O-ring) into position on the rim of the Battery Compartment, then press it evenly and completely down into place with your same thumb.

• Maintain the Battery Hatch securely in place and, using your other hand, slide the Hatch Ring down off your thumb and into position around the Battery Compartment (Fig. 81). The tabs on the Ring fit down into the slots located at the 2 and 9 o'clock positions.

• Using your fingers, turn the Ring counter clockwise 5 degrees until the tabs engage, then tighten it 5 more degrees by turning it counter clockwise with the aide of the Battery Hatch tool, or a small blade screwdriver, pressing against the upper/left arm of the Ring (Fig. 82).

• An adjustable face spanner tool or pair of pointed pliers can be used by placing the tips in the small holes of the Ring.
