DECOMPRESSION MODEL The programs within the Pro Plus 3 simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The Pro Plus 3 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompres- sion theory.
• User Upgradable Firmware • Dual Algorithm INTERACTIVE CONTROL CONSOLE The Interactive Control Console utilizes 2 control buttons that allow you to maneuver through the Pro Plus 3's unique system of menus. The buttons are referred to as S and A.
• On the Surface during a Conditional Violation. PC INTERFACE Interface with a PC, to allow uploading settings and downloading data, is accomplished by connecting the Pro Plus 3 to a PC USB Port using the special Pro Plus 3 USB Interface Cable.
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL POWER SUPPLY • Battery >> (1) 3 vdc, CR2, Lithium battery • Shelf life >> up to 5 years depending on specific battery • Use life >> 50 dive hours if (1) 1 hour dives per dive day to 150 dive hours if (3) 1 hour dives per dive day •...
• At elevations of 3,001 feet (916 meters) or higher, it will adjust depth calibration for the higher altitude. The Pro Plus 3 is configured with contacts located on the stems of the buttons and pins of the PC Data Port that will automatically activate the unit and cause it to enter dive mode when the contacts become wet and it senses depth of 5 FT (1.5 M).
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL FLY/SAT TIME Time to Fly is a countdown timer that begins counting down from 23:50 to 0:00 (hr:min) 10 minutes after surfacing from a dive. Time to Desaturate, also a countdown timer, provides calculated time for tissue desaturation at sea level taking into consideration the Conservation Factor setting.
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL LOG MODE (NORM/GAUG) Information from the latest 24 NORM and/or GAUG dives is stored for viewing. > After exceeding 24 dives, the most recent dive is stored while the oldest is deleted. > Dives are numbered from 1 to 24 starting each time NORM (or GAUG) Dive Mode is activated. After the post dive 24 hour period has elapsed and the unit shuts off, the first dive of the next activation period will be #1.
Sequence >> Gas 1 >> Gas 2 >> Gas 3 >> FO2 50% Default. With the FO2 50% Default selection set Off, the Pro Plus 3 will remain set at the last FO2 set point for that period of activation.
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL • S (< 2 sec) to save the FO2 setting and flash the PO2 digits if Nitrox, or access Set Gas 3 if OFF or Air. • S (2 sec) to revert to Set Gas Lead-in.
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL Set TLBG Alarm, information includes (Fig. 23): TLBG > Graphic OFF (or ON) flashing. > TLBG, last value saved (number of segments). > Graphic TLBG. • A (< 2 sec) to step through selections OFF, ON, and Set, one at a time.

PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL Set Date Format, information includes (Fig. 37): Date Format establishes the location that the Month (M) digits are displayed relative to the Day (D) digits, on the left or right. > Graphics dAtE FORM. > Graphic M.D (or D.M), flashing.
> Graphic SN with the factory programmed serial number (up to 199999). > Graphic R1A (or higher), indicating the revision level of the firmware (Pro Plus 3's current operating software). • A (< 2 sec) to revert to Surface Main.
30 + ALGORITHM The Pro Plus 3 is configured with 2 algorithms which allows you to choose which set of NDLs (No Deco Limits) will be used for nitrogen/oxygen calculations and displays relating to Plan and DTR (Dive Time Remaining).
DTR on the Dive Main (Fig. 50a), identified by the OTR icon. CLEAR (RESET) The Pro Plus 3 is configured with a feature that clears nitrogen and oxygen calculations. This is intended for facilities using the Pro Plus 3 for rental or training activities, not for general use by individual divers.
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL Dive Mode is activated when a descent is made to 5 FT (1.5 M) for 5 seconds TLBG VARI and continues until ascent is made to 2 FT (0.6 M) for 1 second. NO DECO DIVE MAIN, information includes (Fig. 52A/B) - >...
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL DEEP STOP MAIN, information includes (Fig. 57): TLBG VARI > Current Depth with FT (or M) icon. > NX, DSAT (or Z+), Gas 1 (2, 3), CF, DS icons - those that apply. > Stop Depth with FT (or M) icon.
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL DECOMPRESSION TLBG VARI Decompression mode activates when theoretical No Decompression time and depth limits are exceeded. Upon entry into Deco, the audible will sound and the alarm LED will flash. The full TLBG, Stop Bar with Up Arrow icon, and graphic DECO will flash (Fig.
(Fig. 68), and Current Depth, DTR (NDC), and Max Depth will only display dashes ( - - ) signifying that you are Too Deep. *MOD is the Max Operating Depth at which the Pro Plus 3 can properly perform calculations or provide accurate display information. Refer to the Specifications in the back.
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL HIGH PO2 (NORM only) TLBG VARI Warning >> at .20 less than the Alarm value set for the Gas in use. Alarm >> at the value set for the Gas in use (1.00 to 1.60), except in Deco then at 1.60 only.
PRO PLUS 3 OPERATING MANUAL GAUG SURF MAIN, information includes (Fig. 77): > Surface Interval time (hr:min) with SURF icon; if no dive yet, this is time since activation. > Dive number with # icon, up to 24 for that operating period; #0 if no dive made yet.
Instrument Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater. • Soak and rinse the Pro Plus 3 in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the Low Pressure (Depth) Sensor (Fig.
• Closely examine the inside of the Battery Compartment for any signs of corrosion indicating entrance of moisture into the unit. • If corrosion is found, return the Pro Plus 3 to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer, and DO NOT attempt to use it until it has re- ceived factory service.
> No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged. > When diving in high altitude waters from 3,001 to 14,000 feet (916 to 4,270 meters), the Pro Plus 3 automatically adjusts to these conditions providing corrected Depth, and reduced No Deco and O2 Times at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters).
