Suunto EON Steel Black
Gas consumption rate is measured in liters per minute (cubic feet per minute). This is an
optional field and needs to be added to your custom dive mode views in Suunto app. In the
classic view below, gas consumption rate is in the bottom right corner.
For enabling gas consumption metering, see 5.8. How to enable gas consumption metering.
4.21. Gas mixtures
By default, Suunto EON Steel Black has only one gas (air). You can modify O
pO
settings in Gases menu.

You need to define all gas mixtures intended to use during the dive in the Gases menu in
order that the decompression algorithm works properly.
If you need more than one gas, activate multi-gas option on the device menu under Dive
settings » Parameters.
If you want to use trimix gas mixtures (with helium activated), you need to turn helium on
under Dive settings » Parameters. When this is done, you can change helium percentage (He
%) for selected gas in the Gases menu.
You can activate multi-gas diving and helium, configure dive modes and change gas settings
using Suunto app, too.
NOTE: When you have analyzed your gas, you should round the result down when
entering it for Suunto EON Steel Black. For example, if the analyzed gas is 31.8% oxygen, then
define the gas as 31%. This makes the decompression calculations more conservative.
If you need to adjust the computer to provide more conservative calculations, use the
personal adjustment feature to affect decompression calculations or reduce the pO
to affect oxygen exposure according to the entered O
WARNING: THE DIVE COMPUTER WILL NOT ACCEPT FRACTIONAL PERCENTAGE
VALUES OF OXYGEN CONCENTRATION. DO NOT ROUND UP FRACTIONAL PERCENTAGES!
Rounding up will cause nitrogen percentages to be understated and will affect
decompression calculations.
NOTE: You can customize what you see in the Gases menu using the Suunto app.
It is important to understand how the Gases menu works when multiple gases and helium are
activated. For example, you may have the following gases when diving to 55 m (180.5 ft):
tx18/45, MOD 62.2 m (pO
•
tx50/10, MOD 2 2m (pO
•
oxygen, MOD 6 m
•
In the screenshot below, the menu has three gases and tx18/45 is selected as the active gas.
Even though only one gas is active, the decompression algorithm calculates ascent time
(during dive) using all these three gases.
