Page 7: Section 1: Introduction
Initial Checking of the Diver6 System on Arrival On arrival the Diver6 System needs to be checked and accepted by the user for completeness and that all components function as described. These checks need to be completed in a workshop or clean environment and need to be performed prior to the system being used in the water. -
Page 8: Checking Contents
The user has a period of 30 calendar days from delivery date to complete the initial checkout of the Diver6 System. It is during this time that the user has the opportunity to identify any manufacturing faults and return faulty components for direct replacement with new components (at no cost to the user). -
Page 9: Disclaimer
By using the Diver6 System the user agrees with this disclaimer and the disclaimers displayed in the Diver6 System Software. If there is any doubt about the limit of liability for the Diver6 System, the user must not use the Diver6 System. -
Page 10: Warranty
2. The Warranty does not include incorrect use of any component of the Diver6 System. 3. The entire Diver6 System Warranty is void if the user uses tools or equipment on any component of the Diver6 System, other than those as prescribed in this manual. -
Page 11: Procedure For Making A Warranty Claim
Procedure for making a Warranty Claim The procedure for making a Warranty claim is: 1. Within five working days of the discovery of a fault to any component of the Diver6 System, the user must initially contact in writing: a. The local sales representative for the Diver6 System and/or b. -

5. In the event that your Diver6 System or any of your components required service or warranty repair and you are shipping from outside the United States, please contact Azimuth or your Diver6 retailer for return instructions. Warranty Contact Information... -
Page 13: Section 2: System Overview
Figure 1: System Communication 1. The Diver6 System Software transmits a signal to the Topside Modem to query a Diver Modem. Each Diver Modem has an individual address (diver modem will show address on boot up via the LCD on the bottom of the modem). -
Page 14: Expected Range
Expected Range The expected range of the Diver6 System will be dependent upon the conditions of deployment. Extensive range testing of the Diver6 System has demonstrated the following ranges: 1. Over 1,000 m in “ideal” conditions 2. Over 800 m in a marina environment... -
Page 15: Environmental Effects
In general, the higher the power setting is the greater the range. The power setting on the Diver Modem can be changed “on the fly” in the Diver6 System Software (see Section 5 of this manual). The default setting for the Diver Modem is Power Setting 6 (0.5 W, 169 dB). -
Page 16: Diver6 System Specifications
Diver6 System Specifications There are many components to the Diver6 System and only the main components are detailed here. Topside Equipment There are three main elements to the Topside equipment. Topside Modem The Topside Modem (Figure 3) is very robust with 316 stainless steel and acetyl copolymer construction. -
Page 17: Topside Monitoring Computer
• Dimensions: 11.2” (284.4 mm) x 8.25” (209.5 mm) x 1.6” (40.7 mm) (WxHxD) • Weight: 2.4 kg • Optional Peripherals: Desktop and vehicle docking systems • On-board GPS (0.3-meter accuracy) Diver6 User Manual Section 2: Page 16 of 87... -
Page 18: Diver Equipment
Modem Baud Rate: modem set to 300 bps for maximum range and data reliability • Range: up to .62 miles (1000 m) • Enclosure: 316 SS and acetyl copolymer • Depth Rating: 150 psi, 346’ (105 m) Diver6 User Manual Section 2: Page 17 of 87... -
Page 19: Section 3: Getting Started
• Section 7: Trouble Shooting There are three components that need to be set up for the Diver6 System to be operational. These are: 1. Fitting the Diver6 System Equipment to the diver’s SCUBA set. 2. Plugging in the Topside Modem to the Battery Unit and Monitoring Computer and placing it in the water. -
Page 20: Interference With Ocean Technology Systems (Ots) Through Water Communications
The Red dot on the LED will also flash when it receives an Acoustic Signal from the Topside Modem. It is relevant to note that the Diver6 System can be tested through air over a distance of approximately 100 mm (4”). It does not need to be submersed in order to see if the equipment is working properly. To get it working, the Topside Modem needs to be placed adjacent to the Diver Modem. -
Page 21: Modem
LED will appear solid indicating a paired connection. If the LED is flashing, this indicates the USB dongle has not established a connection to the Bluetooth module. Figure 12: Bluetooth Module and USB dongle Diver6 User Manual Section 3: Page 20 of 87... -
Page 22: Topside Modem Mount Instructions
7) Secure the pipe to the upper mount by installing the M6 x 22mm screws and jam nuts (3 of each). First tighten the screws then tighten up the jam nuts. Use the 5mm hex L-key and 10mm combination box wrench. Diver6 User Manual Section 3: Page 21 of 87... -
Page 23: Software
Software The Diver6 System Software is pre-installed on the tablet computer and can be run immediately by clicking on the icon in the task bar (Figure 13). Also pre-installed is Adobe© Acrobat Reader to easily view the dive logs post deployment. -
Page 24: Getting Started Guide Summary
The Diver6 System is a Secondary Advisory System only and does not replace Standard Operational Procedures, therefore the notes below are offered as a guide to getting the best out of the Diver6 System. This section is a summary only with more details given in Section 4. -
Page 25: Diver6 User Manual
Attach the Diver Modem to SCUBA Equipment. • NOTE: If using a Diver6 Accessory that plugs into the connector, the rubber shoulders of the contact pins need lightly lube with silicone grease. A tube of Dow Corning #4 Grease is provided for this purpose in the Tools & Spares Kit. -

Software The following actions are recommended for the Diver6 System Software deployment. For more comprehensive notes on using the software, see Section 5. Pre-deployment Equipment Action Summary Tablet Computer • Ensure the tablet is charged or is connected to a power supply. -
Page 28: Section 4: Diver6 System Operation
This section gives detailed guidance to the deployment of the Diver6 System. The manufacturers and developers of the Diver6 System have taken care not to present this section of the manual as if it is a Standard Operating Procedure. This approach has been taken as the Diver6 System is a Secondary Advisory System only and does not replace existing SOPs associated with Dive Operations. -

Master can run the dive operation and also easily access the Diver6 System monitoring computer. c. It is somewhere other observers can see the Diver6 System in operation, the diver in the water as well as the screen of the tablet computer. -
Page 30: Pier / Wharf
Pier / Wharf Deployment of the Diver6 System from a pier / wharf is straightforward and common practice for first responders (e.g. Police, Fire, Search and Rescue). The Topside Modem placement off a pier needs careful consideration. The Topside Modem needs to be clear of obstructions so as not to cause an acoustic shadow between the diver and the Topside Modem (Figure 15). -
Page 31: Marina
Marina Using the Diver6 System in a marina environment is very similar to that of a pier / wharf environment but has a higher likelihood of boat movements through the operational area. Therefore, all the notes associated with pier/wharf demonstrations also apply here. -
Page 32: Boat
Boat Using the Diver6 System off a boat is more difficult than a stationary structure such as a pier/wharf/marina etc. as the Topside Modem tends to swing around when dangled off the boat. When using the Diver6 System from a boat, the Topside Modem Mount should be utilized (Figure 18). -
