•
Tissue compartment halftimes: 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 120, 240, and 480 minutes
(on gassing). The off gassing halftimes are slowed down
•
Reduced gradient (variable) "M" values based on diving habit and dive violations.
The "M" values are tracked up to 100 hours after a dive
•
The EAN and oxygen exposure calculations are based on recommendations by
R.W. Hamilton, PhD and currently accepted exposure time limit tables and prin-
ciples.
Battery:
•
One 3 V lithium battery: CR 2450and O-ring 1,78 mm x 31,47 mm 70 ShA (K5664).
•
Battery storage time (shelf life): Up to three years
•
Replacement: Every two years, or more often depending on dive activity
•
Life expectancy at 20°C/68°F:
•
0 dives/year –> 3 years
•
100 dives/year –>2 years
•
400 dives/year –>1 year
The following conditions have an effect on the expected battery lifetime:
•
The length of the dives
•
The conditions in which the unit is operated and stored (for example, temperat-
ure/cold conditions). Below 10°C/50°F the expected battery lifetime is about 50-
75% of that at 20°C/68°F.
•
The use of the backlight and audible alarms
•
The quality of the battery. (Some lithium batteries may exhaust unexpectedly,
which cannot be tested in advance)
•
The time the dive computer has been stored until it gets to the customer. (The
battery is installed in the unit at the factory)
