DECOMPRESSION MODEL The programs within the ProPlus X simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The ProPlus X dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory.

Page 6: Basics
The ProPlus X is an easy to use dive computer utilizing a four button interface. Divers may choose between either Dive or Gauge Mode. Though the ProPlus X is easy to use, you will get the most out of your new ProPlus X if you take some time to familiarize yourself with its displays and operation.

Page 15: 4: Calibrate Compass
You may need to calibrate the compass from time to time to compensate for any magnetic changes (new dive location or other surround- ing changes). Follow the prompts to calibrate the compass. The ProPlus X will then indicate if the calibration passed or failed.
Page 16: 5: Set Declination
PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL 5: SET DECLINATION Magnetic declination or variation measures the angle between the Earth's magnetic north and true north. The declination value for any region can be found on current geographical charts. By correcting for declination, you can achieve a more accurate compass reading.

Page 19: Dtr (Dive Time Remaining)
DTR (DIVE TIME REMAINING) The ProPlus X constantly monitors No Decompression status and O2 Accumulation, and will display whichever time is the least amount available as DTR on the No Decompression Dive Main screen. The time being displayed will be identified by the NDC (no decompression) or OTR (Oxygen Time Remaining) icons.

(915 m) higher than the actual altitude at activation. Refer to the charts in the back of this manual for dive times. DEEP STOP When the DS (Deep Stop) selection is set ON, it will trigger after descending deeper than 80 ft (24 m). The ProPlus X then calculates (continually updating) a Stop Depth equal to ½ the Max Depth.
Page 21: Safety Stop
• There is no penalty if you surface prior to completing the Safety Stop or choose to ignore it. LOW BATTERY WARNING: DO NOT dive with a low battery. Charge the battery before diving if your ProPlus X indicates the Battery Low Warn- ing or Alarm.
Page 22: Audible Alarm
PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL AUDIBLE ALARM While operating in Norm or Gauge mode, the audible alarm will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds when alarms strike. During that time, the audible alarm can be acknowledged and silenced by pressing the UP button.
Page 24: On The Surface Before A Dive
PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL ON THE SURFACE BEFORE A DIVE The Norm Surface Main screen will display the SURF (Surface Time), dive number, gas pressure, any residual nitrogen loading, and the selected of the breathing gas. The surface time displayed is the time since activation or the surface interval after a dive.
Page 25: Last Dive Data
PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL LAST DIVE DATA This screen displays essential data from the last dive. If there has been no dive within the current activation cycle, the the max depth and elapsed dive time will be displayed as zero.
Page 26: Set Gas
FO2 Air with no PO2 alarm value for Gas 1, and OFF for Gas 2, 3, and 4. Settings revert to the defaults when 24 hours elapse without conducting a dive. If you save a nitrox mix value for any gas, the ProPlus X will highlight the PO2 alarm value allowing it to be set. Additionally, the ProPlus X allows for each gas (1 - 4) to have individual PO2 alarm settings.

PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL 5: ALGORITHM This feature allows the choice of using the Z+ or DSAT algorithms, for nitrogen and oxygen calculations. See page 20 for further Dual Algorithm details. NOTE: Changing the algorithm is blocked during 24 hours after NORM dives unless Desat time decreases to 0:00.
Page 32: 7: Sample Rate
7: SAMPLE RATE The Sample Rate controls how frequently the ProPlus X stores a data snapshot for PC Download during a dive. Setting options are 2, 15, 30, or 60 second intervals. Shorter intervals will provide a more precise record of your dives.

Page 37: 3: Gas Switch
PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL 3: GAS SWITCH WARNING: Historically, many accidents and near misses have occurred by switching to the wrong gas at the wrong depth. DO NOT attempt gas switch decompression dives without proper education and training to do so from an inter- nationally recognized training agency.
Page 38: Earmark
By holding the left button for more than 2 seconds during a dive you can manually record a data snapshot. The snapshot can later be accessed us- ing the ProPlus X's download feature. The message "EARMARK APPLIED" will be displayed for 3 seconds as confirmation after an earmark is made.
Page 39: Decompression
COMPLICATIONS The preceding information has described standard dive operations. Your new ProPlus X is also designed to help you to the surface in less than ideal situations. The following is a description of these situations. Take some time to familiarize yourself with these operations before diving your ProPlus X.
Page 40: Delayed Violation 1
Only dashes will display for Current Depth and NDC (No Decompression) time signifying that you are too deep. * The maximum functional depth (Dive/Gauge = 330 ft / 100 m) is the depth at which the ProPlus X can properly perform calculations or provide accurate display information.
Page 41: Violation Gauge Mode During A Dive
During Dive mode dives, operation will enter VGM when Decompression requires a Stop Depth greater than 70 ft (21 m). Operation would then continue in VGM during the remainder of that dive and for 24 hours after surfacing. VGM turns the ProPlus X into a digital instrument without any decompression or oxygen related calculations or displays.
Page 42: High O 2 2 Sat (Oxygen Saturation)
PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL ALARM If PO continues to increase and reaches the alarm set point, the audible alarm sounds again. The PO value, GO UP message, and up arrows will flash during the audible alarm. After the audible alarm is silenced, they alternate with NDC (No Decompression) and EDT (Elapsed Dive Time) until PO decreases below the alarm set point.
Page 43 PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL WARNING DURING DECOMPRESSION When O2 SAT reaches the Warning Level, the audible alarm sounds and the O2 SAT value will flash in the middle of the screen. When the audible alarm is silenced, the O2 Sat value will alternate with Decoo Stop/Time.
Page 45: On The Surface Before A Dive
INITIATING A DIVE With the ProPlus X in Gauge Mode, a dive will commence upon descending to 5 ft (1.5 m) for longer than 5 seconds. Below is a diagram to help you navigate Gauge Dive Mode functions. The dive will end and revert to Surface Mode upon ascent to 0.9 m (3 ft) of depth for at least 1 second.

ProPlus X lens protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater. • Soak and rinse the ProPlus X in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the low pressure (depth) sensor, PC interface data port, and buttons are free of debris or obstructions.
Page 53: Altitude Sensing And Adjustment
• No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged. • When diving in high altitude waters from 3,001 to 14,000 feet (916 to 4,270 meters), the ProPlus X automatically adjusts to these conditions pro- vidingcorrected Depth, and reduced No Deco and O2 Times at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters).
