Fig. 3.23. Oxygen
partial pressure and OLF
displays. There is an
audible alarm as oxygen
partial pressure is greater
than 1.4 bar or set value,
and/or the OLF has
reached 80% limit.

relates to OTU.
3.4.3. Oxygen Limit Fraction (OLF)
In addition to tracking the diver’s exposure to nitrogen, the instrument tracks the
exposure to oxygen, if set to Nitrox mode. 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%.
