PATENT NOTICE

U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features: Air Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 4,586,136 and 6,543,444) and Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,678).

DECOMPRESSION MODEL

The programs within the ProPlus X 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 ProPlus X dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the ProPlus X, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of

avoiding decompression sickness, i.e. “the bends.” Every diver’s physiology is different, and can even vary from day to day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a particular dive prole.

PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL

BASICS

The ProPlus X is an easy to use dive computer utilizing a four button interface. Divers may choose between either Dive or Gauge Mode. Though the ProPlus X is easy to use, you will get the most out of your new ProPlus X if you take some time to familiarize yourself with its displays and operation. Information has been organized into easy to follow sections to aid you in learning all you need to know. There is also a glossary at the end of this guide for any terms that may sound unfamiliar to you.

POWER

The ProPlus X housing contains a rechargeable lithium battery similar to that of a cell phone. The level of battery charge is displayed on the primary

screens. Charge the battery fully before rst use. With a full charge you can expect to average 55-60 dive hours at 60% brightness (35-40 hours at 100% brightness) before needing to recharge.

Keep in mind that the ProPlus X screen is the biggest draw of power. Using full brightness settings will reduce the interval between charges. This setting can be fully customized to your preferences in the ProPlus X settings. Additionally, the ProPlus X screen will sleep after 2 minutes of inactivity to conserve power. Pressing any button will wake the screen up again.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Use the included adapter and cable to charge the battery. This process will take 3-4 hours for a full charge.

ACTIVATION

To activate the ProPlus X, press and release any button. The ProPlus X will also turn on if its metal contacts become wet and you descend below 5 ft (1.5 m) for 5 seconds.

• Upon activation, the unit will display the Welcome screen and perform a diagnostic check. The ProPlus X checks the display and voltage at this time to ensure that everything is within tolerance.

• It will also check ambient barometric pressure, and calibrate present depth as 0 ft (m). When at 3001 ft (916 m), or higher, it will adjust for the higher altitude.

• After the Diagnostic check, the ProPlus X will display the Home Menu (or Norm Main if wet activation).

NOTE: The ProPlus X has no off button or command. If no buttons are pressed or dives made, the unit will enter sleep mode af-

ter 2 minutes. Within 2 hours of no buttons being pressed or dives made, the unit will shut itself off. However, the ProPlus X will stay on for a 24 hour period after a dive, counting down Time To Fly and Desat (desaturation) time if a dive has been made.

PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL

QUICK DISCONNECT HOSE

The Quick Disconnect allows for convenient removal and storage of your ProPlus X console.

Removal

• Turn the locking collar counterclockwise to loosen.

• Then push the hose tting towards the ProPlus X and turn it counterclockwise ¼ turn. The hose will release from the console.

Assembly

• Visually inspect the ttings and connection O-ring for damage, corrosion, or deterioration.

WARNING: If damage, corrosion, or deterioration is found, return your ProPlus X to an authorized Oceanic dealer, and DO NOT

attempt to use it until it has received factory prescribed service.

• Line up the Quick Disconnect Hose tting with the male tting on the ProPlus X console.

• Then push the two ttings together while turning clockwise ¼ turn.

• Secure the hose by tightening the locking collar clockwise.

Magnetic declination or variation measures the angle between the Earth's magnetic north and true north. The declination value for any region can be found on current geographical charts. By correcting for declination, you can achieve a more accurate compass reading.

NOTE: Magnetic north changes over time; so use only current geographical charts to obtain the declination value for

any geographical region.

LOG

The log stores Information from Norm or Gauge Mode dives for viewing.

• If no dives are recorded, the message NO DIVES RECORDED YET will be displayed.

• There is a maximum 24 entries per day with a maximum of 99 entries overall in the Log.

• After exceeding 24 entries in a day or 99 overall the oldest entries will be deleted to allow space for the new entries.

• Dives are numbered starting with 1 each time Norm (or Gauge) mode is activated. After 24 hours elapse with no dive, the rst dive of the next

period of operation is called Dive #1.

• I n the event that elapsed dive time exceeds 599 min, the data at the 599 interval is recorded in the Log upon surfacing of the unit.

NOTE: New data will automatically overwrite the oldest data in memory when the memory becomes full. If you do not remember

to log or download your dives, they will be lost when the memory overwrites. See the PC Download section of this manual for instructions on downloading dives.

DTR (DIVE TIME REMAINING)

The ProPlus X constantly monitors No Decompression status and O2 Accumulation, and will display whichever time is the least amount available as

DTR on the No Decompression Dive Main screen. The time being displayed will be identied by the NDC (no decompression) or OTR (Oxygen Time

Remaining) icons.

NO DECOMPRESSION

No Decompression is the maximum amount of time that you can stay at your present depth before entering decompression. It is calculated based on the amount of nitrogen absorbed by hypothetical tissue compartments. The rates each of these compartments absorb and release nitrogen is mathematically modeled and compared against a maximum allowable nitrogen level.

Whichever compartment is closest to this maximum level is the controlling compartment for that depth. Its resulting value NDC (no decompression) will be displayed. It will also be displayed graphically as the Tissue Loading Bar Graph, see Bar Graphs later in this section.

As you ascend, the Tissue Loading Bar Graph 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 Aqua Lung dive computers offer.

OTR (OXYGEN TIME REMAINING)

When set for nitrox operation, O2 SAT (Oxygen Saturation) during a dive is displayed on the More Dive Data screen as a percentage of allowed

saturation identied by O2 SAT. The limit for O2 SAT (100%) is set at 300 OTU (Oxygen Tolerance Units) per dive or 24 hour period. See the chart at the back of this manual for specic times and allowances. O2 SAT and OTR (Oxygen Time Remaining) values are inversely related; as the O2

SAT value increases the OTR (Oxygen Time Remaining) value decreases.

When the OTR (Oxygen Time Remaining) value becomes less than the No Decompression calculations for the dive, DTR (Dive Time Remaining) will

be controlled by O2 SAT and the OTR (Oxygen time Remaining) value will be displayed as the DTR on the Dive Main screen, identied by the OTR

icon.
