    • The DSX enters Violation Mode (see "Complications" p. 54) when a situation exceeds its capacity to predict an ascent procedure. These dives represent gross excursions into decompression that are beyond the boundaries and spirit of the DSX's design. If you are following these dive profiles, Apeks advises that you should not use a DSX.

    PROXIMITY OF THE TMTS (TRANSMITTERS) AND DSX The DSX can be used with the Apeks Transmitter (P/N NS119115). The TMTs emit low frequency signals that radiate out in semicircular patterns parallel to the length dimension of the TMT. A coiled antenna inside the DSX wrist unit receives the signals when it is positioned within a zone parallel to or at a 45 degree angle to the TMT as illustrated.

    The DSX can use up to 6 transmitters (P/N NS119115) in Dive Mode to monitor gas supplies. The Transmitters Menu allows for the programming of the wrist unit to receive the signals from selected Apeks transmitters.

  • Page 85: Calibration Errors

    DSX may require you to calibrate again. If this is the case, the DSX will prompt you to do so. 1. Start with dry breathing grade gas from a reputable supplier. 2. Confirm Helium content separately with a helium analyzer if using a helium mix. The Apeks O2 Analyzer is not capable of analyzing helium.
