Advanced depth gauge/timer
The D.I.P. (Diving Instrument for Professionals) is an advanced depth gauge/timer for Technical or Professional divers.
This instrument is a strong, wrist worn piece of equipment with a “navigation” function enabling pre-recording of details designed to help a diver control the direction of his dive and his horizontal movements more accurately than by traditional “hit and miss” methods. “NAV” mode: One or several dive scenarios are loaded into the instrument’s memory in the form of a series of numbers or ‘segments’, each segment taking into account a specific compass heading and swimming time (h/min/sec). The diver just follows the dive instructions indicated by the D.I.P. and can concentrate on non-navigational aspects of his dive.
Features: •Clarity of information • Timer mode • Digital display of ascent rate • Time: Hours/Minutes/Seconds • Automatic altitude compensation • Replaceable battery
The D.I.P. includes two separate and commutable modes:
1) Normal depth gauge/timer mode “NORM”: • Actual depth/maximum depth • Dive time (H : Min : Sec) • Ascent rate in bar graph form with speed warning alarm • A choice of two ascent rates is offered: • French Navy (MN) tables and international sport diving standards • Digital display of ascent rate in real time • Local time (h/min/sec) • Timer mode: On/Off/Reset • Altitude • Temperature, actual PPO2 • High PPO2 alarm.
2) “Navigation” mode “NAV”: • Depth information display: current depth • Segments of dive recorded by PC interface with : • Compass heading (H) • Time/countdown (CDT) • Segment n° (SN). Maximum number of recordable segments: 99 • Total time elapsed since beginning of the dive (H : Min) (EDT)
Main characteristics: • Maximum dive time: 9 h 59 min • Automatic altitude compensation. Maximum altitude: 4270 m/14000 feet • Maximum operating depth: 120 metres/400 feet • Operating temperature when immerged: -2°C/+35°C. When stored out of water: -6°C/+60°C • Electro luminescent low consumption lighting (switch activated) • Automatic turn on and off (wet contact activated) or manual • Power: 3 V lithium type CR2450 battery. Easily replaced by user. Shelf life: 5 years • Battery life (with lighting on, permanently set at 50% of power): 50 hours in “NAV” mode • Maximum number of dives recorded: 24 most recent (Memo mode) • Data transfer by PC interface. • Data management to PC: • Download: Dive profiles in depth/time chart format • Upload: Pre-recorded dive scenario: n° of segments/compass headings + swim times • PC interface system (cable/USB port + software CD) • Ref. 340 095 supplied separately.
