6.2.3. Oxygen limit fraction (OLF)
If set to NITROX mode, in addition to tracking the diver's exposure to nitrogen, the
instrument tracks the exposure to oxygen. These calculations are treated as entirely
separate functions.
The dive computer calculates separately for Central Nervous System oxygen toxicity (CNS)
and Pulmonary Oxygen toxicity, the latter measured by the addition of Oxygen Toxicity
Units (OTU). Both fractions are scaled so that the maximum tolerated exposure for each
is expressed as 100%.
The Oxygen Limit Fraction (OLF) displays only the value of the higher of the two
calculations. The oxygen toxicity calculations are based on the factors listed in Section 10.3.

6.2.4. Gas change and multiple breathing gas mixes
The Suunto Vyper

AIR

allows gas changes to enabled gas mixes during the dive. Gas

changes are made by following the procedure below:

CHANGING GAS MIX. SCROLL

THROUGH ENABLED MIXES BY

PRESSING THE UP OR DOWN

BUTTONS. SELECT NEW MIX BY

PRESSING THE SELECT BUTTON.

NOTE

Mix number, O

2

% and PO

2

for the mixes are shown when scrolling.

If the set PO

2

limit is exceeded , it will be shown with the PO

2

value

blinking. The dive computer does not allow you to change to a gas
whose set PO

2

is exceeded. In such a case, the mix is shown but

cannot be selected.
