3. Press the middle button again to confirm.
If you are diving with only one gas, ensure you have only that one gas in the Gases menu.
Otherwise, Suunto EON Steel expects you to use all gases in the list and notifies you to
change gases during the dive.
NOTE: When you select CCR mode, gas mixtures are divided to open-circuit and closed-
circuit gases. See 4.28. Rebreather diving.
4.22. Gas time
Gas time refers to remaining air (gas) left with current gas mixture, measured in minutes. The
time is based on tank pressure value and your current breathing rate.
Gas time is also highly dependent on your current depth. For example, all other factors being
the same, including breathing rate, tank pressure and tank size, depth affects gas time as
follows:
At 10 m (33 ft, surrounding pressure 2 bar), gas time is 40 minutes.
•
At 30 m (99 ft, surrounding pressure 4 bar), gas time is 20 minutes.
•
At 70 m (230ft, surrounding pressure 8 bar), gas time is 10 minutes.
•
Gas time information is not visible by default. After customization in DM5, the information will
be visible in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. If you have not paired a Suunto Tank
POD, the gas time field shows n/a. If you have paired a POD but there is no data being
received, the field shows –. This may be because the POD is not in range, the tank is closed,
or the POD battery is low.
NOTE: It is important to adjust tank size, tank pressure and personal gas consumption
to get the gas calculations right. Find these options under Dive planner in the device menu.
NOTE: Gas time reading shows zero and turns red if tank pressure goes below 35 bar
(500 psi).
4.23. Language and unit system
You can change the device language and unit system at any time. Suunto EON Steel
refreshes immediately to reflect the changes.
To set these values, see 5.3. How to set language and unit.
