Gauge/Bottom Timer Mode - DEEPBLU cosmiq+ Product Manual

SECTION 5 – INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Depending on the Safety Factor setting you dive with, a No-Dive Time may lead to a lockout. This is
to encourage you to conduct a surface interval for the minimum amount of time represented by the
No-Dive Time. The lockouts are dynamic and only last for the duration of the No-Dive Time.

With a Conservative or Normal Safety Factor:
If your No-Dive Time is longer than 1 hour, COSMIQ
screen with the letters 'SUF' and will go into lockdown after you reach the surface. The letters 'SUF'
are a reminder that you should stay on the surface in order to allow for nitrogen desaturation. The
length of the lockdown time will depend on calculations of residual nitrogen levels in your body, and
is equal to the No-Dive Time value.
A lockout will only kick in when the No-Dive Time is calculated to be 1 hour or longer. This means that
the lockout will most likely only happen after a decompression dive where the NDL was exceeded
and decompression stops were not properly performed.
With a Progressive Safety Factor:
COSMIQ will not lockdown no matter how long the calculated No-Dive Time is. The No-Dive icon

5.3 GAUGE/BOTTOM TIMER MODE

When diving with Bottom Timer Mode, only depth, time and temperature are measured. No
decompression calculations are done in Bottom Timer Mode. Use this mode when COSMIQ
being used as a secondary dive computer or as a depth gauge and timer only. Note: in the original
COSMIQ model, this mode was called Gauge Mode.
COSMIQ will also keep track of average depth and display a secondary time, which are useful to
+
monitor staged dives, for example where you need to make decompression stops. COSMIQ
start tracking these values when the bottom timer kicks in at the beginning of the dive and both of
these measurements can be reset at any time by pressing the ADJUST button.

activation.
