  • Page 18: Nitrox Information (O Information)

    Terminology / Symbols 1.3 Nitrox information (O information) For dives with compressed air in normal recreational diving, nitrogen is the decisive gas for the decompression calculations. When diving with Nitrox, the risk of oxygen toxicity rises with the increase of the fraction of oxygen and the increase of depth and can limit dive time and the maximum depth. SPORT includes this in the calculations and displays the necessary information: % mix Fraction of oxygen: The fraction of oxygen in the Nitrox mixture can be set between...

  • Page 19: Attention Messages And Alarms

    Attention messages and alarms 2 Attention messages and alarms SPORT draws the diver’s attention to certain situations and warns the diver of unsafe diving practices. Attention messages and alarms are visual and / or audible. • The audible attention messages can be switched off in "set 1" ->33 or LogTRAK. With LogTRAK they can be switched off selectively.

    Functions during the dive 4.6 Partial pressure of oxygen (ppO max) / Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) The maximum partial pressure of oxygen ppO max (default 1.4bar) determines the Maximum Operating Depth (MOD). Diving deeper than the DEPTH DIVE TIME MOD will expose the diver to oxygen partial pressures higher than the set maximum level.

  • Page 24: Nitrogen Loading Bar Graph

    Functions during the dive • During an ascent and if the CNS O % value does not increase anymore (due to a lower partial pressure of oxygen), the audible warning is suppressed. • During the ascent, the display of the oxygen toxicity is replaced by the ascent rate. If the ascent is stopped, the display changes back to the indication of the CNS value.
