Device settings are organized in 2 screens. The selected function is highlighted. The top button (NEXT) will switch the selected function to the next one (below).

  • Page 31: P Ressure/Salinity

    1 4. Pressure/salinity Shows the current pressure in milibar (green color). 1 PSI ≈ 68,95 milibar. When no pressure is shown, the pressure sensor is defective. The lower line shows the pressure correction (white color) – this value will be added to the raw value of the measured pressure.

  • Page 32: L Og /Speed

    1 5. Log/speed This navigation console can work with an external sensor (speed sensor) or without it (inertial mode). This option can be used to switch between these two modes. The field ‘Calc. distance from’ may switch between ‘External log’ and ‘Const. speed’. The first value needs an external speed sensor (log) to be connected.
  • Page 33 If you want to recalibrate the sensor, set the chosen distance in meters (reference distance) by pressing the lower button and changing the value digit by digit. Then, you will be guided to the next item, which shows how many pulses fall in a distance of 1 00m.

  • Page 34: L Og /Speed Calibration

    When ‘Calc. distance from’’ is set to ‘Const. speed’’, a constant average speed is chosen to calculate the position (on the main screen, no log symbol is visible). The option ‘Calibrate’ will allow you to set a constant average speed used to calculate the current position, the return time and the target time.
  • Page 35 When the external sensor is used and connected to the device (Calc. distance from = External log), the calibration is used to get the best possible distance measurements. The sensor principle of operation is based on pulse counting. The sensor calibration factor equals the number of pulses which the speed sensor will produce while swimming a 1 00m distance.

  • Page 36: G P S

    1 7. GPS This menu option is for information purposes only. When selected, the navigation screen will show the GPS status information as described below: Valid: Y/N – Displays, if GPS information is available now Sat.cnt: 0…1 5 – Number of satellites used to calculate the position Latt.

  • Page 37: Time/Date

    After power on, first GPS readings should be available after 20-60 seconds. The GPS antenna is located between the buttons, so you should not cover this point with any objects. You may tilt the navigation console as far as possible (screen upwards) for a while, to achieve better/quicker GPS readings, but this is not necessary in most cases.

  • Page 38: O Ther Setting S

    1 9. Other settings Miscellaneous other settings are available as a separate screen: Backlight – [1 ,2,3,4,5,auto] – Changes the display backlight intensity. Value 1 means the constant lowest brightness (about 20%), value 5 means the constant maximum brightness, value ‘auto’ means that the backlight will be auto adjusted using the ambient light sensor.

  • Page 39: Units

    20. Units Allows you to choose the units of the values presented on the screen: Temperat.(ure) – Can be °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) Depth – Can be meters or feet Speed – Can be m/min (meters per minute) or knots (nautical miles per hour) Distance –...

  • Page 40: Compass

    21 . Compass Allows to calibrate the magnetometer (compass sensor) and to set the magnetic declination and deviation. Calibration – This option is used for basic magnetometer calibration. You should use this function, when the compass direction shown on this device is improper. This is usually needed when the magnetic properties of the environment have changed.
  • Page 41 Caution: The new calibration can be worse than the existing. If you are not happy with the results, calibrate the compass again or restore the factory settings. After the basic calibration, you should set declination and deviation to 0 (zero), clear the precision calibration (see below), and set it again. Geometry –...
  • Page 42 Current – Raw heading from magnetometer, without correction. Stored – Stored value for this step. The lower button will store the Current value as Stored, each time you press it. The upper button will guide you to the next step. On the last screen you can check, if this calibration improved the heading display. This screen is named ‘Accuracy test’...
  • Page 43 If the corrected values are better than the measured values, press the lower button (ENTER) to store the results. If you press the upper button, no changes will be stored. Caution: Beware of placing another compass near this device when performing this calibration, because it might affect the measurement and affects the calibration procedure.

  • Page 44: Clear Data

    22. Clear data Clears all records from the internal memory. The user will be asked, if he really wants to perform this operation. It is recommended to power off and on the device after using this feature. 23. Factory reset After using this option, all settings will be restored to factory values, and all other data will be lost.

  • Page 45: G Uidelines For Attaching The En C To D P

    25. Guidelines for attaching the ENC to DPVs When using the navigation console with any DPV, you should carefully choose the mounting point for the device. An unfavorable placement may cause magnetic interferences from your vehicle elements (battery, engine) to the ENC compass sensor.
  • Page 46 LIMITATIONS: ENC device should be placed at least 0,2m (7,9”) from any element containing ferromagnetic material (engine, battery), permanent magnets (engine, vehicle handles, speed sensor) or electrical wires connecting the battery with the motor. If this rule is violated, compass indications may be incorrect. Compass indications may be less stable when ENC tilt exceeds 35°...

Disconnect the sensor plug, wash Sensor connector misfit, broken or and/or clean the connector, connect rusted.

  • Page 49: Before Each Dive

    27. Before each dive … Make sure that battery is charged enough. Power on device and check all important settings. In order to connect the log to the device, check the state of the plug and socket, clean any impurities, check the o- rings, apply a delicate layer of silicone grease and gently but firmly tighten.
