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.

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.

TISSUE LOADING BAR GRAPH

The TL (Tissue Loading) Bar Graph represents your relative No Decompression or Decompression status. As your depth and elapsed dive time increase, the bar graph will grow in length, shift from green to amber, and ultimately to red (indicating a Decompression condition). As you ascend the bar graph recedes, indicating that additional No Decompression time is available. The ProPlus X monitors multiple theoretical nitrogen compartments simultaneously. The TL Bar Graph displays the one that is in control of your dive at any given time.

DUAL ALGORITHM®

The ProPlus X is congured with 2 algorithms which allows you to choose which set of NDLs (No Decompression Limits) will be used for nitrogen/

oxygen calculations and displays relating to Plan Mode and DTR (Dive Time Remaining) for NORM dives.

You can select DSAT or Z+ prior to new dives. Also, the selection can be changed after dives once Desaaturation Time decreases to 0:00, otherwise the selection will lock in for 24 hours after the last dive.

DSAT was the original standard used by Oceanic in all of its dive computers until the dual function was implemented several years ago. It features NDLs that are based on exposures and test data which also formed validation for the PADI RDP. It imposes restrictions for repetitive Decompression dives which are considered more risky than general No Deco dives.

Z+ (the Pelagic Z+ algorithm) performance is based on Buhlmann ZHL-16c. It features NDLs that are considerably more conservative than the DSAT version especially at shallower depths.

To create even greater margins of safety with respect to decompression, a Conservative Factor as well as Deep and Safety Stops are available and can be activated for NORM No Decompression dives.

CONSERVATIVE FACTOR

When the CF (Conservative Factor) is set On, the dive time remaining, No Decompression/Oxygen Time Remaining, which are based on the algorithm and used for N2/O2 calculations and displays relating to Plan Mode, will be reduced to the values available at the altitude level that is 3,000 ft (915 m) higher than the actual altitude at activation. Refer to the charts in the back of this manual for dive times.

DEEP STOP

When the DS (Deep Stop) selection is set ON, it will trigger after descending deeper than 80 ft (24 m). The ProPlus X then calculates (continually updating) a Stop Depth equal to ½ the Max Depth.

NOTE: The Deep Stop feature only works in Norm mode while within No Decompression times.

• While 10 ft (3 m) deeper than the calculated Deep Stop, you will be able to access a Deep Stop Preview screen that will display the current calcu-

lated Deep Stop Depth/Time.

• Upon initial ascent to within 10 ft (3 m) below the calculated Stop Depth, a Deep Stop screen displaying a Stop Depth at ½ the Max Depth will appear with a countdown timer beginning at 2:00 (min:sec) and counting down to 0:00. If you descend 10 ft (3 m) below, or ascend 10 ft (3 m) above, the calculated Stop Depth for 10 seconds during the countdown, the No Decompression Main will replace the Deep Stop Main display and the Deep Stop feature will be disabled for the remainder of that dive. There is no penalty if the Deep Stop is ignored.

SAFETY STOP

Upon ascent to within 5 ft (1.5 m) deeper than the SS (Safety Stop) depth set for 1 second on a No Decompression dive in which depth exceeded 30 ft (9 m) for 1 second, a beep will sound and a Safety Stop at the depth set will appear on the Dive Main display with a countdown beginning at the Safety Stop time set and counting down to 0:00.

• If the Safety Stop was set for OFF, 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 Decompression Main screen will replace the Safety Stop Main screen which will reappear upon ascent to within 5 ft (1.5 m) deeper than the Safety Stop depth set for 1 second.

• In the event that you enter Decompression during the dive, complete the Decompression obligation, then descend below 30 ft (9 m); the Safety

Stop Main will appear again upon ascent to within 5 ft (1.5 m) deeper than the Safety Stop depth set for 1 second.

• If you ascend to 3 ft (0.9 m) of the surface for 1 second, the Safety Stop will be canceled for the remainder of that dive.

• There is no penalty if you surface prior to completing the Safety Stop or choose to ignore it.

Within this submenu you can change the available gas mixes from OFF, AIR, or to any nitrox mix between 21 - 100 FO2 (% O2). Nitrox mixes are

displayed with their corresponding MOD (Maximum Operating Depth) and the current PO2 Alarm setting for the selected gas. Default settings are FO2 Air with no PO2 alarm value for Gas 1, and OFF for Gas 2, 3, and 4. Settings revert to the defaults when 24 hours elapse without conducting a dive. If you save a nitrox mix value for any gas, the ProPlus X will highlight the PO2 alarm value allowing it to be set. Additionally, the ProPlus X allows for each gas (1 - 4) to have individual PO2 alarm settings.

NOTE: Once any Gas is set for Nitrox, any other Gas set for AIR will automatically be set to 21%. The AIR option will not be dis-

played as an FO2 setting until 24 hours elapse after the last dive.

NOTE: When FO2 is set for AIR, oxygen related data (such as PO2, % O2) will not be displayed at any time during the dive, on

the surface, or in Plan Mode. Though these oxygen values will be tracked internally for use in any subsequent nitrox dives.

NOTE: Gas 1 cannot be set to OFF.

The Sample Rate controls how frequently the ProPlus X stores a data snapshot for PC Download during a dive. Setting options are 2, 15, 30, or 60 second intervals. Shorter intervals will provide a more precise record of your dives.

NOTE: New data will automatically overwrite the oldest data in memory when the memory becomes full. The ProPlus

X Log and PC Download data is stored separately in different partitions of the memory. The Log only stores a short summary of each dive. Alternately, the PC Download function stores much larger files for each dive. Depending on the chosen settings and dive durations, it is possible to see dives stored in the ProPlus X's onboard Log that have already been overwritten in the PC Download Partition. Choosing a longer Sample Rate interval will consume less memory per dive. Remember to download your dives more frequently if you are using a shorter Sample Rate interval.

WARNING: Historically, many accidents and near misses have occurred by switching to the wrong gas at the wrong

depth. DO NOT attempt gas switch decompression dives without proper education and training to do so from an internationally recognized training agency.

Overview

• All dives begin with gas 1.

• The GAS defaults to # 1 after 10 minutes on the surface.

• Gases cannot be switched while in surface mode.

• The Gas Switch Menu cannot be accessed during the sounding of alarms.

• If an alarm strikes while in the Gas Switch Menu, the switch operation is terminated (reverting to the Dive Main screen.

• If a gas has a prohibitive PO2 value (≥ 1.6 PO2), a warning will be displayed. Though the diver will not be prevented from chosing the gas. If the diver proceeds to select said gas a high PO2 alarm will then trigger.

COMPLICATIONS

The preceding information has described standard dive operations. Your new ProPlus X is also designed to help you to the surface in less than ideal situations. The following is a description of these situations. Take some time to familiarize yourself with these operations before diving your ProPlus X.

DECOMPRESSION

Decompression (deco) mode activates when theoretical No Decompression time and depth limits are exceeded.

• Once within 10 ft (3 m) below the required Stop Depth (stop zone) and Stop Time will be displayed in amber.

To fulll your decompression obligation, you should make a safe controlled ascent to a depth slightly deeper than, or equal to, the required stop

depth indicated and decompress for the stop time indicated. The amount of decompression credit time that you receive is dependent on Depth, with slightly less credit given the deeper you are below the Stop Depth indicated. You should stay slightly deeper than the required Stop Depth indicated until the next shallower Stop Depth appears. Then you can slowly ascend to that indicated Stop Depth but not shallower.

DECOMPRESSION ENTRY

Upon entry into decompression (deco) the audible alarm will sound until the audible is silenced. The message DECO ENTRY, up arrows, and full Tis-

sue Loading Bar Graph will ash. Additionally, the stop depth and stop time values will be displayed.

CONDITIONAL VIOLATION

Upon ascent above the required Decompression (deco) Stop depth, operation will enter Conditional Violation during which time no off gassing credit will be given. The Audible alarm will sound. Additionally, the full Tissue Loading Bar Graph, down arrows, and DOWN TO STOP message will

ash until the audible alarm is silenced, then the Tissue Loading Bar Graph will be solid.

• The down arrows continues to ash until descending below the required Stop Depth (within stop zone).

• If you descend deeper than the required Decompression Stop before 5 minutes elapse, Decompression operation will continue with no off gassing credit given for time above the stop. Instead, for each minute above the stop, 1½ minutes of penalty time will be added to the required stop time.

• The added penalty (decompression) time will have to be worked off before obtaining off gassing credit.

• Once the penalty time is worked off, and off gassing credit begins, required Decompression Stop Depths and Time will decrease toward zero. The Tissue Loading Bar Graph will recede into the No Decompression zone, and operation will revert to No Decompression mode.

DELAYED VIOLATION 1

If you remain shallower than a Deco Stop Depth for more than 5 minutes, operation will enter Delayed Violation 1* which is a continuation of

Conditional Violation with penalty time still being added. Again, the audible alarm will sound and the full Tissue Loading Bar Graph will ash until it

is silenced.

*The difference is that 5 minutes after surfacing from the dive, operation will now enter Violation Gauge Mode.

• Down arrow and DOWN TO STOP message continues to ash until descending below the required Stop Depth.

• If the Delayed Violation 1 status is ignored, the ProPlus X will enter Delayed Violation 1 Surface mode for 5 minutes upon surfacing from the dive.

Down arrows and Deco Stop depth/time will alternate with VIOLATION. After 5 minutes on the surface in DV1 mode, the unit will enter VGM

(Violation Gauge Mode).

VIOLATION GAUGE MODE (VGM) DURING A DIVE

During Dive mode dives, operation will enter VGM when Decompression requires a Stop Depth greater than 70 ft (21 m). Operation would then continue in VGM during the remainder of that dive and for 24 hours after surfacing. VGM turns the ProPlus X into a digital instrument without any decompression or oxygen related calculations or displays. Upon activation of VGM, the audible alarm will sound. The message VIOLATION GO UP

with up arrows will ash. After the audible alarm becomes silent (10 seconds), the NDC (No Decompression) and Tissue Loading Bar Graph will not

display for the rest of the dive.

VIOLATION GAUGE MODE (VGM) ON THE SURFACE

The message VIOLATION is displayed until 24 hours elapse with no dives. During that 24 hours, VGM lockout does not allow access to the Set Gas,

Plan, and Desat features/screens. The Compass function will be allowed.

• The Fly countdown timer provides the time remaining before normal operation can resume with full features and functions.

• In the event that a dive is made during the 24 hour lockout period, a full 24 hour surface interval must then be served before all functions are restored.

OVERVIEW

The ProPlus X is equipped with an advanced 3D digital compass. Compass Mode can be activated while in Dive or Gauge operation modes by pressing the right button.

• The ProPlus X reverts back to the previous operation mode after 1 minute unless the Compass Mode is reset by pressing any of the buttons. See the Timeout section at the end of this chapter for further details.

• There are three modes (North, Reference, Reverese Reference) of compass operation.

• North Mode is the default Compass operation. Though if another compass operation mode is selected, the ProPlus X will return to that function when the compass is selected during the activation cycle.

NOTE: You may need to calibrate the compass from time to time to compensate for any magnetic interference (new dive loca-

tion, or other surrounding changes). The Calibrate Compass function is found in the Home > Setup Menu, see p. 15.

NOTE: Magnetic declination or variation measures the angle between the Earth's magnetic north and true north. The declina-

tion value for any region can be found on current geographical charts. By correcting for declination, you can achieve a more accurate compass reading. Remember magnetic north changes over time; so use only current geographical charts to obtain the declination value for any geographical region. The Set Declination function is found in the Home > Setup Menu, see p. 16.

NOTE: Similar to an analog compass, magnetic and ferrous metals can cause erratic and erroneous readings.

WARNING: You must become thoroughly familiar with the setup and operation of the ProPlus X digital compass before using it

as your primary device for navigation. Failure to do so could result in serious errors relating to activities involving navigation.

NORTH MODE

North Mode is the standard compass function displaying the current heading.

PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL

UPLOADING/DOWNLOADING DATA

As previously described (page 13), the ProPlus X can be paired using the Bluetooth® feature. This requires a PC, Mac, or mobile device running Diverlog software and equipped with Bluetooth® functionality. If your personal computer is not equipped with internal Bluetooth® hardware, a Bluetooth® dongle can be purchased separately from a computer store.

Alternately, The ProPlus X is congured with a data/charging connection port located on the back of the case. It can be used with the included

adapter to connect the ProPlus X with a PC or Mac using a USB cable. Connect the adapter clip to the ProPlus X. When connecting the adapter clip to the ProPlus X, ensure that the adapter is connected as shown. Then connect the USB interface cable to the adapter clip. The ProPlus X and USB cable assembly can now be connected to a PC or Mac running Diverlog software.

NOTE: If a USB cable is connected to the ProPlus X, Bluetooth® connection will be blocked or disabled. Though any active down-

loads, uploads, or firmware updates using Bluetooth® will be allowed to finish first.

CARE AND CLEANING

Protect your ProPlus X from shock, excessive temperatures, exposure to chemicals, and tampering. Protect the lens against scratches with the stick on ProPlus X lens protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater.

• Soak and rinse the ProPlus X in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the low pressure (depth) sensor, PC interface data port, and buttons are free of debris or obstructions.

• To dissolve salt crystals, use lukewarm water or a slightly acidic bath (50% white vinegar/50% fresh water). After removal from the bath, place

the ProPlus X under gently running fresh water. Towel dry before storing.

• Keep your ProPlus X cool, dry, and protected during transport.

INSPECTIONS AND SERVICE

Your ProPlus X should be inspected annually by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer who will perform a factory prescribed function check and inspec-

tion for damage or wear. To keep the 2 year limited warranty in effect, this inspection must be completed one year after purchase (+/- 30 days).

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.

To Obtain Service: Take your ProPlus X to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer or send it to the nearest Oceanic Regional Facility. To return your ProPlus X to Oceanic:

• Record all dive data in the Log and/or download the data stored in memory. All data will be erased during factory service.

• Package it using a protective cushioning material.

• Include a legible note stating the specic reason for return, your name, address, daytime phone number, serial number(s), and a copy of your

original sales receipt and Warranty Registration Card.

• Send freight prepaid and insured using a traceable method to the nearest Oceanic Regional Facility, or to Oceanic USA.

• If shipping to Oceanic USA, obtain an RA (Return Authorization) number by contacting Oceanic at 510/562-0500 or send an e-mail to service@

oceanicusa.com.

• Non-warranty service must be prepaid. COD is not accepted.

• Additional information is available at the Oceanic web site OceanicWorldwide.com

PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL

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 rst. The readings must be within 1 foot (30 cm) of each other to record that

ambient pressure as the current Altitude.

• 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 ProPlus X automatically adjusts to these conditions providingcorrected Depth, and reduced No Deco and O2 Times at intervals of 1,000 feet (305 meters).

• When the Conservative Factor is set On, NDLs are calculated based upon the next higher 3,000 foot (915 meter) Altitude.

• At Sea Level, calculations are based upon an Altitude of 6,000 feet.

• All adjustments for Altitudes greater than 11,000 feet (3,355 meters) are then made to allowable dive times for 14,000 feet (4,270 meters).

• The ProPlus X will not function as a Dive Computer above 14,000 feet (4,270 meters).
