As you use the LOGIC, remember that the rules you learned in your SCUBA course(s) still apply to the diving you will do while using a dive computer - some will become even more important. Technology is no substitute for com- mon sense, and a dive computer only provides the person using it with data, not the knowledge to use it.
Authorized Sherwood Scuba Dealer before you utilize this product. • The LOGIC is intended for use by recreational divers who have successfully completed a nationally recognized course in scuba diving, and diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen (nitrox) breathing gas mixtures.

A NOTE is used to emphasize an important maintenance technique. Throughout this owner’s manual reference is made to the term ‘breathing gas’. The rationale being that the LOGIC can be used for Air dives or Nitrox dives. For clarity, these terms are defined as - Breathing Gas - the gaseous mixture breathed during a dive.

4 represent No Decompression (NO DECO) status and the fifth at the top indicates a Decompression condition (DECO). When the LOGIC is set to operate in Nitrox mode, the Bar Graph will represent Oxygen accumulation when the O2 data screen (Alternate Display) is ac- cessed temporarily.
Page 10
Ascent Rate Bar Graph (ASC) The ASC provides a visual representation of Ascent speed (i.e., an ascent speedometer), ‘normal’ rate, a ‘cautionary’ rate, and ‘Too Fast’. The segments of the ASC represent 2 sets of speeds which change at a reference depth of 60 FT (18 M).
INFORMATIONAL DISPLAYS Each numeric and graphic display represents a unique piece of information. It is imperative that you understand the formats, ranges, and values of the information represented to avoid any possible misunderstanding that could result in error. Underwater Display “DIVE” During dives, the Current Depth is displayed from 0 to 330 ft (99.9 m) in 1 ft (.1 m) increments (a).
Temperature can be viewed on an Alternate Display which can be accessed during dives as well by pressing the S (Right) button once while underwater. The MODE the LOGIC is on will be displayed at the bottom of the screen (Air, Nitrox or Gauge will be displayed here. (c)

A single short beep is emitted after the Diagnostic check, upon automatic return to Surface Mode from Simulator Mode, upon com- pletion of a battery change with calculations/settings saved, or upon change from Delayed to Full Violation after that dive. If another Alarm situation occurs, any scrolling message will be displayed until it is acknowledged, at which time it will be replaced by a message that was previously scrolling.
Page 14
POWER SUPPLY The LOGIC utilizes one (1) 3 volt, CR2450 Lithium Battery that should provide from 300 dive hours of operation if you conduct one 1 - hour dive each time the unit is activated, to over 600 dive hours of operation if you conduct two or more dives each time the unit is activated.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE The LOGIC will operate in water temperatures from 28° to 95° F (-2 to 35 °C) and out of the water from 20° to 140°F (-6 to 60 °C). At extremely low temperatures, the LCD may become sluggish, but this will not affect its accuracy. If stored or transported in extremely low temperature areas (below freezing), warm the unit and battery with body heat before diving.

NO DECO DEEP STOP During No Deco dives in which Depth exceeds 80 ft (24 m), a Deep Stop Preview screen can be accessed that will revert to the No Deco Main after 5 seconds. •The intent of this screen is to suggest that a Stop should be made as indicated (at 1/2 Max Depth) to help reduce the probability of DCS (decompression sickness).
Page 36
Upon ascending to within 10 ft (3 m) below the calculated Deep Stop, a Deep Stop (DS) Main screen will automatically appear with the alpha graphics DEEP and STOP scrolling at the top of the screen (each On for 2 seconds). Information displayed also includes: The recommended Stop Depth (1/2 the calculated Max Depth) with the 2 minute Countdown Timer that counts down from 2:00 to 0:00 (min:sec), Current Depth, NDC Time Remaining, and the N2BG.
NO DECO SAFETY STOP Upon ascending to 15 ft (5 m) on any No Decompression dive in which Depth exceeded 30 ft (9 m), a Safety Stop screen appears with a countdown timer beginning at 3:00 (min:sec) and counting down to 0:00. NOTE: The Safety Stop is not required and although recommended, it does not have to be taken.
DIGITAL GAUGE MODE When set for Digital Gauge Mode, the unit operates without any decompression or oxygen monitoring functions, ba- sically as a Depth Gauge/Timer, NOT providing NDL minutes. A contiguous 24 hour post dive surface interval is then required for the unit to operate as a full function diving computer. GAUGE DIVE MAIN (Default) Information displayed includes: •...

HIGH PO2 Upon reaching .20 ATA less than the PO2 Alarm Set Point, a cautionary mode is entered. The graphic UP, Up Arrow icon, and PO2 value (x.xx ATA) with graphic PO2 are displayed solid on the Main Dive screen with Current Depth, NDT, and the N2 Bar Graph.
Page 40
HIGH O₂ A cautionary mode is entered when O₂ increases to 80% (240 OTU) of the Maximum allowed for a single dive or 24 hour period (100% or 300 OTU). The Audible Alarm sounds, the graphics HIGH >> O2 flash (each on 1/2 second), and the UP Arrow icon flashes.
DECOMPRESSION DIVE MODE Decompression Dive Mode (DECO) is entered when nitrogen calculations determine that you cannot safely surface without stopping at a predetermined depth to allow off gassing of absorbed nitrogen. The Audible Alarm sounds, and the message DECO >> STOP >> xxFT (or xxM) scrolls at the top of the screen (each on 2 seconds). The UP Arrow icon will be displayed flashing, if 10 ft (3 m) deeper than the required Stop Depth, then is removed once within 10 ft (3 m) below the required Stop Depth.
CONDITIONAL VIOLATION (CV) If you disregard a Decompression obligation (i.e., ascend above the Required Stop Depth), operation enters Condi- tional Violation Mode. The Audible Alarm sounds and the message DOWN >> TO >> STOP scrolls at the top of the screen (each on 2 seconds).
Page 43
DELAYED VIOLATION # 1 (DV1) DV1 is a continuation of CV which occurs if you remain above the Stop Depth for longer than 5 minutes. At 5 minutes, the Audible Alarm will sound (even if set Off), the Down Arrow icon, Total Ascent Time, and full N2BG will flash, and the message DOWN >>...
VIOLATION GAUGE MODE (VGM) When a Decompression Stop Depth greater than 70 ft (21 meters) is required, operation enters VGM for the remainder of that dive and subsequent dives made within a 24 hour period. Once in VGM, the unit operates with limited functions without any nitrogen or oxygen monitoring or calculating func- tions.
Page 45
This rule applies to the use of all dive computers, but is especially important when using the LOGIC, due to the personal information it provides.
Indication of tampering with the module will void the unit’s warranty. WARNING: If you are unsure how to properly replace the LOGIC’s battery and ensure the O-ring is well lubricated and the batery hatch secured after replacing the battery do not hessitate on contacting any authorized Sherwood Dealer for assistance.
CARE AND CLEANING The LOGIC is a sensitive electronic instrument. Although it has been built to endure the rigors of diving, it still must be handled carefully to protect it from shock, excessive heat, chemical attack, and tampering. The housing is made of an impact resistant resin that is shock resistant but susceptible to scratches and attack by strong chemicals.
It is possible to damage the LOGIC Depth Sensor if it is not pressure tested properly. The LOGIC must be placed com- pletely underwater when being pressure tested to protect the Depth Sensor.
LOGIC. If the LOGIC did not display the Low Battery symbol prior to entering the Dive mode, and a Low Battery condition occurs during a dive, there will be sufficient battery power to maintain unit operation for the remainder of that dive, however the Backlight will be disabled.
MODULE REMOVAL FROM BOOT If the LOGIC is in a Wrist Boot, it will be necessary to peel the lips of the Boot downward off the Module while apply- ing pressure from underneath, working it out slowly. Submerging the boot or console in warm water for 5 minutes may facilitate the operation.
Page 51
•Inspect the Buttons, Lens, and Housing to ensure they are not cracked or damaged. •If there is any sign of moisture in the module, DO NOT use the LOGIC until it receives proper service by an Authorized Sherwood Scuba Dealer.
Page 52
•Lift the Hatch up and away from the Housing using a small plastic prying tool. •Remove the Battery Hatch. •Remove the O-ring from the Hatch by hand or using a small plastic tool. •Using care not to damage the Battery Con- Battery Removal tacts, slide the Battery up and out of the Battery Compartment.
Page 53
WARNING: If damage or corrosion is found in the Battery Compartment, return your LOGIC to an Authorized Sherwood Scuba Dealer, and DO NOT attempt to use it until it has received factory pre scribed service. Battery Installation • Slide a new 3 volt type CR2450 Lithium Battery, negative (-) side down into the Battery Compartment. Press the battery inwards and ensure good engagement with the contacts.
Page 54
WARNING: If there are any portions of the display missing or appearing dim, or if a Low Battery condition is indicated, install another new battery, if the condition persist then return your LOGIC to an Authorized Sherwood Scuba Dealer for a complete evaluation before attempting to use it.
Page 55
•The oxygen features of the LOGIC are intended for use only by recreational divers trained for nitrox diving by an instructor certified by a recognized training agency to teach diving with nitrox.
NO DECOMPRESSION LIMITS (NDL) Note how the No Decompression Limits for the LOGIC are contrasted with the U.S. Navy limits. The LOGIC’s Dive Planner does not scroll past 190 ft (57 m), or to depths at which projected dive time is less than one minute .
Page 58
WARNINGS: Using the LOGIC, just as using any other dive computer or the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness (i.e., the bends). Sherwood Scuba advocates responsible diving practices. Decompression diving is inherently hazardous and greatly increases your risk of decompression sickness, even when performed according to the computer’s calculations.

The LOGIC senses ambient pressure when it is activated, every 15 minutes while it is activated, or every 30 minutes when it is not activated. At an Altitude of 3,001 feet (916 meters), it will automati- cally recalibrate itself to measure depth in feet of fresh water rather than feet of sea water.
WARNING: The LOGIC will not sense ambient pressures or provide Altitude compensation when it is wet. DO NOT dive at any different Altitude until the unit shuts off and is reactivated at the new Altitude. If the unit is activated at elevations higher than 14,000 feet (4,270 meters), it will perform a diagnostic check followed by immediate shutdown.
DIVE TIME REMAINING (DTR) One of the most important pieces of information on the LOGIC is the patented DTR numeric display. To numerically display Dive Time Remaining, the LOGIC constantly monitors two critical pieces of information; no decompression status and oxygen accumulation status.
Page 64
This is a feature of the decompression model that is the basis for multilevel div- ing, one of the most important advantages the LOGIC offers. Sherwood Scuba Decompression Algorithm uses a 16-tissue organizational interval model called Bühlmann ZH-L16C.
