  • Page 50: Bar Graphs

    BAR GRAPHS The VEO features 2 specific bar graphs. > The one on the left represents nitrogen loading. It is referred to as the TLBG (Tissue Loading Bar Graph). > The one on the right represents ascent rate. It is referred to as the VARI (Variable Ascent Rate Indicator).

  • Page 51: Vari

    VARI (NORM/GAUG) The VARI (Fig. 48a) provides a visual representation of ascent speed (i.e., an ascent speedometer). The segments represent two sets of speeds which change at a reference depth of 60 FT (18 M). Refer to the chart. Fig. 48 - DIVE MAIN When ascent is too fast, the audible will sound and all segments (Ascent normal) of the VARI and the graphic SLO will flash (Fig.

  • Page 52: Algorithm

    You can select to use either the DSAT or the PZ+. The selection will lock in for 24 hours after the last dive. DSAT has been the standard used by Oceanic in all of its dive computers until this time. It features NDLs that are based on exposures and test data which also formed validation for the PADI RDP.

  • Page 53: Deep Stop (Ds)

    DEEP STOP (DS), No Deco only When the DS selection is set On, it will trigger during NORM No Deco dives when you descend to 80 FT (24 M), then calculate (and continually update) a Stop Depth equal to 1/2 the Max Depth. While 10 FT (3 M) deeper than the calculated DS, you will be able to access a DS Pre- view screen that will display the current DS Stop Depth/Time.
  • Page 54 • If the SS was set for OFF or Timer, the display will not appear. • In the event that you descend 10 FT (3 M) deeper than the Stop Depth for 10 seconds during the countdown, or the countdown reaches 0:00, the No Deco Main screen will replace the SS Main screen which will reappear upon ascent to within 5 FT (1.5 M) deeper than the Safety Stop Depth set for 1 second.

  • Page 55: Dive Time Remaining (Dtr)

    As you ascend, the TLBG segments will recede as control shifts to slower compartments. This is a feature of the decompression model that is the basis for multilevel diving, one of the most important advantages that Oceanic dive computers offer. Fig. 50 - NO DECO MAIN...

  • Page 56: Otr (O2 Otr)

    OTR (O2 DTR) When set for Nitrox operation, O2 during a dive is displayed on an ALT (alternate) screen as a percentage (%) of allowed saturation (Fig. 51a), identified by the O2SAT icons. The limit for O2 exposure (100%) is set at 300 OTU (oxygen tolerance units) per dive or 24 hour period.

  • Page 94: Care And Cleaning

    INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE Your VEO should be inspected annually by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer who will perform a factory prescribed function check and inspection for damage or wear. To keep the 2 year limited warranty in effect, this inspection must be completed one year after purchase (+/- 30 days).
  • Page 95 Oceanic recommends that you continue to have an inspection performed every year to ensure it is working properly. The costs of annual inspections, or inspections relating to water tight integrity, are not covered under the terms of the 2 year limited warranty.

  • Page 101: Altitude Sensing And Adjustment

    ALTITUDE SENSING AND ADJUSTMENT Altitude (i.e., ambient pressure) is measured upon activation and every 15 minutes until a dive is made. > Measurements are only taken when the unit is dry. > Two readings are taken, the second reading 5 seconds after the first. The readings must be within 1 foot (30 cm) of each other to record that ambient pressure as the current Altitude.
  • Page 102 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO FREE DIVE MODE • Although breathing apparatus is not utilized for Free Dive activities, nitrogen tissue loading remains a factor. Nitrogen loading is calculated based upon a fixed FO2 of Air. • Since a user has the option of alternating between SCUBA and Free Dive activities within a 24 hour period, nitrogen calculations and the displayed value of No Deco Dive Time Remaining (NDC time) are carried over from one operating mode to the other, which permits the user to maintain awareness of nitrogen absorption and offgasing status.
