PATENT NOTICE

U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features: Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,678). Set TLBG Alarm and other patents pending. User Setable Display (U.S. Patent no. 5,845,235) is owned by Suunto Oy (Finland).

DECOMPRESSION MODEL

The programs within the VEO 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 VEO dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the VEO, 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 proﬁle.

Sample Menu

(all selections shown)

There are 9 Menus that include the -

• NORM Menu

• GAUG Menu

• FREE Menu

• Set F Menu

• Set A Menu

• Set M Menu

• Set T Menu

• Set U Menu

• Set FA Menu

Each Menu has a Start (First) selection and a Stop (Last) selection. Upon entering a Menu, movement through it starts at the Start (First) selection, then continues in a rolling manner showing one selection at a time.

• The sample at the left shows how a menu would look if all of the selections would be displayed on one screen.

Page 11

Menu button action >>

A (< 2 sec) - to access and step forward through menu selections A (hold) - to scroll forward through menu selections S (< 2 sec) - to access or save selections

Pressing A (< 2 sec) while viewing the last selection in the menu will revert to the ﬁrst selection (such as Surface Main).

At any time while on the surface, depressing the A and S buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds will revert operation to the Surface Main. Exception is during the ﬁrst 10 minutes after surfacing from NORM/GAUG dive, or ﬁrst minute after surfacing from a FREE dive.

SMARTGLO® Backlight

The VEO is conﬁgured with a sensor capable of measuring the intensity of ambient light. The Backlight will only come on when light level is low.

To activate the SmartGlo Backlight >> press the S button.

• If ambient light level is low, the Backlight will activate and illuminate the display for button depression time* plus the Duration time set (0, 5, or 10 seconds), for a maximum of 20 seconds.

(*The Backlight will turn Off if S is depressed for more than 10 seconds.)

• Press S again to activate as desired.

Extensive use of the Backlight reduces estimated Battery life. Also, the Backlight does not operate during a Low Battery Condition or when the VEO is connected to a PC.

Page 12

AUDIBLE ALARM

While operating in NORM or GAUG Mode, the Audible will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds when alarms strike, unless it is set Off. During that time, the Audible can be acknowledged and silenced by pressing the S button (less than 2 seconds).

An LED Warning Light, on the lower end of the housing, is synchronized with the Audible and ﬂashes as the Audible sounds. It will turn Off when the Alarm is silenced. The Audible and LED will not be active if the Audible is Set OFF (a group A setting).

FREE Dive Mode has its own set of Alarms which emit 3 short beeps either 1 or 3 times which cannot be acknowledged or set Off.

Situations that will activate the NORM/GAUG 10 second Alarm include ** Items activate only in NORM mode.

• Descent deeper than the Depth Alarm Set Point selected.

• Dive Time Remaining at the Set Point selected**.

• Elapsed Dive Time at the Set Point selected.

• PO2 at the Set Point selected**.

• High O2 of 300 OTU (100%)**.

• TLBG at the Set Point selected**.

• Ascent Rate exceeds 60 FPM (18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 30 FPM (9 MPM) at 60 FT (18 M) and shallower.

• Entry into Decompression Mode (Deco)**.

• Conditional Violation (above a required Deco Stop Depth for less than 5 minutes)**.

• Delayed Violation (above a required Deco Stop Depth for more than 5 minutes)**.

• Delayed Violation (a Deco Stop Depth greater than 60 FT/18 M is required)**.

Page 13

• Delayed Violation (Max Operating Depth of 330 FT/100 M is exceeded in NORM or FREE mode, or 399 FT/120 M in GAUG mode).

A single short beep (which cannot be disabled) sounds when -

• After 10 minutes on the surface after the Violation dive.

3 short beeps (which cannot be disabled) sound when -

• Ascent Rate is 51 to 60 FPM (15.1 to 18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 26 to 30 FPM (7.5 to 9 MPM) at 60 FT (18 M) and shallower.

• FREE Dive Elapsed Dive Time Alarm (3 beeps every 30 seconds if set On).

• FREE Dive Depth Alarms 1, 2, 3 (set sequentially deeper) - each 3 beeps 3 times.

• FREE Dive TLBG Alarm (Caution zone, 4 segments) - 3 beeps 3 times.

• Entry into Deco during a FREE Dive (Violation) - 3 beeps 3 times.

• Free Dive Mode Countdown Timer reaches 0:00 - 3 beeps 3 times.

During the following NORM Dive situations, the 10 second continuous tone will be followed by a 5 second steady beep that will not turn off when acknowledged -

• Ascent above a Deco Stop for more than 5 minutes.

• Deco requires a Stop Depth deeper than 60 FT/18 M or deeper.

• 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 VEO to a PC USB Port using the special VEO USB Interface Cable.

The software program together with the USB Driver required is on the Oceanlog CD, and can be downloaded from the OceanicWorldwide web site. The program's HELP** serves as the user manual which can be printed for personal use.

** Prior to attempting to Download data from your VEO or Upload Settings to it, review

the HELP section of the Oceanlog program. Recommended is to print those sections of HELP that you consider appropriate for your Interface activities.

The Settings Upload portion of the Oceanlog program can be used to set/change Set A (Alarms), Set U (Utilities), Set T (Time, Date), and Set FA (Free Alarms) using the same Interface System. FO2 related items must be set using the control buttons.

Information available for retrieval (download) from the VEO to the PC Download portion of the program includes dive data such as dive number, surface interval time, maximum depth, elapsed dive time, no deco status, start date/time, lowest temperature under water, sampling rate, dive proﬁle, and Set Points.

The Oceanlog program also allows upgrade of select versions of the VEO's ﬁrmware (operating system software) after which the VEO resets all operating data. Since the upgrades require reset of the VEO, they are blocked during 24 hours after dives.

• Refer to page 88 for more details relating to Oceanlog and PC Interface.

OPERATING MODES

NORM Mode >> for Air and Nitrox SCUBA activity GAUG Mode >> for SCUBA activity FREE Mode >> for breath hold diving activity with Depth/Time indication

If no previous dive has been taken within the past 24 hours, NORM is the default upon activation. Others accessed using the Surface Menu.

At any time while operating in Surface Modes, operation will enter the Dive Mode selected upon descent to 5 FT (1.5 M) for 5 seconds.

• When Wet Activation is set Off, Dive Mode will not be activated unless the unit is turned On while on the surface.

• When Wet Activation is set On, immersion in water will activate the unit which will then enter the Dive Mode selected upon descent.

Operation will revert from Dive Mode to Surface Mode upon ascent to 4 FT (1.2 M) for 1 second. During the ﬁrst 10 minutes after a NORM/GAUG dive or 1 minute after a FREE dive, the Dive Main screen will remain on displaying Max Depth and Elapsed Dive together with Surface Interval Time with the colon ﬂashing.

• A descent during the ﬁrst 10 minutes after surfacing from a NORM or GAUG dive, or the ﬁrst 1 minute after surfacing from a FREE dive, is a continuation of that dive.

• After the 10 minute (or 1 minute) interval has elapsed, the normal Surface Main will be displayed. A descent is then considered a new dive.

HISTORY

ACTIVATION

To activate the VEO, press/release any button.

• The unit will enter Diagnostic Mode displaying all segments of the LCD as 8's, followed by dashes (- -), then a countdown from 9 to 0. It checks the display and voltage to ensure that everything is within tolerance.

• After manual activation, it will also check the ambient barometric pressure, and calibrate its present depth as 0. At elevations of 3,001 feet (916 meters) or higher, it will adjust depth calibration for the higher altitude.

The VEO 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).

After activation and diagnostics, the VEO will enter NORM Surface Mode displaying the Main screen and allow access to the NORM Surface Menu.

SET F MENU (NORM FO2)

Sequence >> FO2 value >> 50% Default

With the FO2 50% Default selection set Off, the VEO will remain set at the last FO2 Set Point for that period of activation.

When the FO2 50% Default is set On and FO2 is set for a numerical value, 10 minutes on the surface after that dive the FO2 will be displayed as 50 and further dives will be calculated based on 50% O2 for oxygen calculations and 21% O2 for Nitrogen calculations (79% Nitrogen), unless FO2 is set before the dive.

Page 29

FO2 will continue to reset to the FO2 50% Default after subsequent repetitive dives until 24 hours elapse after the last dive, or the FO2 50% Default is set Off.

FO2 set to Air

The default FO2 setting for each new activation period will be Air.

When FO2 is set for Air -

> calculations are the same as when FO2 is set for 21%. > it will remain set for Air until set for a numerical FO2 value (21 to 50%). > O2 data (such as PO2, O2%) will not be displayed at any time during the dive, on

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).

TLBG (NORM only)

The TLBG represents your relative No Deco (Fig. 46a) or Deco status (Fig. 47a). The ﬁrst 4 segments represent No Deco status and the ﬁfth indicates a Deco condition.

As your Depth and Elapsed Dive Time increase segments add.

As you ascend segments recede, indicating that additional no deco time is available.

The VEO monitors 12 different nitrogen compartments simultaneously and the TLBG displays the one that is in control of your dive at any given time.

Page 47

VARI (NORM and 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.

When ascent is too fast, all segments will be displayed ﬂashing (Fig. 49) until ascent is slowed.

WARNING: When deeper than 60 FT (18 M), ascent rates should not exceed 60 FPM (18 MPM). At depths of 60 FT (18 M) and shallower, ascent rates should not exceed 30 FPM (9 MPM).

ALGORITHM

The VEO 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).

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. It imposes restrictions for repetitive Deco dives, considered more risky.

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

To create even greater margins of safety with respect to decompression, a Conservative Factor as well as No Deco Deep and Safety Stops can be included for No Deco dives.

CONSERVATIVE FACTOR (CF)

When the CF is set On, the NDLs which are based on the algorithm selected and used for Ni/O2 calculations and displays relating to Plan and DTR, will be reduced to the values available at the altitude level that is 3,000 feet (915 meters) higher. Refer to the charts in the back of this manual for times.

Page 49

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 Preview screen that will display the current DS Stop Depth/Time.

Upon initial ascent to within 10 FT (3 M) below the calculated Stop Depth, a DS screen displaying a Stop Depth at 1/2 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 Deco Main will replace the DS Main display and the DS feature will be disabled for the remainder of that dive. There is no Penalty if the DS is ignored.

> In the event that you enter Deco, exceed 190 FT (57 M), or a High O2 condition (=>

80%) occurs, the DS will be disabled for the remainder of that dive.

> The DS is disabled during a High PO2 Alarm condition (=> Set Point).

SAFETY STOP (SS), No Deco only

If set On: Upon ascent to within 5 FT (1.5 M) deeper than the SS Depth set for 1 second on a No Deco dive in which Depth exceeded 30 FT (9 M) for 1 second, a beep will sound and a SS at the Depth set will appear on the Main display with a countdown beginning at the SS Time set and counting down to 0:00 (min:sec).

Page 50

• 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.

• In the event that you enter Deco during the dive, complete the Deco obligation, then descend below 30 FT (9 M); the SS Main will appear again upon ascent to within 5 FT (1.5 M) deeper than the SS Depth set for 1 second.

• If you ascend 2 FT (0.6 M) shallower than the SS Depth for 10 seconds prior to completing it, the SS will be canceled for the remainder of that dive.

• There is no Penalty if you surface prior to completing the SS or ignore it.

If set for Timer On: Upon ascending to 20 FT (6 M) for 1 second on a No Deco dive in which Depth exceeded 30 FT (9 M) for 1 second, 1 beep will sound and a Run Timer will appear (if set On) displaying 0:00 (min:sec) until started.

• If the SS was set for Off or On, the Timer display is not to appear.

• If you descend deeper than 30 FT (9 M) for 10 seconds, the No Deco Main will replace the Timer screen which will reappear upon ascent to 20 FT (6 M) for 1 second.

• If you ascend above 10 FT (3 M) for 10 seconds, or enter Deco, or a High O2 alarm condition occurs (100%), while the SS Timer is active, the SS Timer will be disabled for the remainder of that dive.

Page 51

DTR (DIVE TIME REMAINING)

The VEO constantly monitors No Deco status and O2 Accumulation, and will display whichever Time is the least amount available as DTR on the No Deco Dive Main screen. The Time being displayed will be identiﬁed by the NDC or O2 icon.

NDC (No Deco DTR)

NDC is the maximum amount of time that you can stay at your present Depth before entering Deco. 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 one is closest to this maximum level is the controlling compartment for that Depth. Its resulting value (NDC) will be displayed as DTR (Fig. 50a). It will also be displayed graphically as the TLBG (Fig. 50b).

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. 51 - NO DECO ALT 1

Fig. 52 - NO DECO MAIN

OTR (O2 DTR)

When set for Nitrox operation, O2 during a dive is displayed on an ALT screen as a % 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. As time before reaching the limit decreases, % O2 increases and OTR (O2 DTR) decreases.

When OTR becomes less than the NDC, calculations for the dive will be controlled by O2 and OTR will be displayed as DTR on the Main (Fig. 52a), identiﬁed by the O2 and min icons.

To fulﬁll 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, but not shallower than that indicated Stop Depth.

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.

• The mathematical models currently used in the VEO are based on no decompression/ decompression multilevel repetitive dive schedules.

• These algorithms do not take into account the physiological changes associated with the high pressures that competitive type Free diving can expose a diver to.

WARNINGS

• Ensure that you know which Operating Mode is selected (NORM, GAUG, or FREE) prior to commencing any dive.

• Conducting Free dives within a 24 hour period after conducting SCUBA dives, combined with the effects of multiple rapid Free Dive ascents, increases your risk of decompression sickness. Such activities may result in accelerated entry into decompression which could cause serious injury or death.

• Combining competitive type Free dive activities that involve multiple descents/ ascents with activities utilizing SCUBA during the same 24 hour period is not recommended. Presently, there is no data relating to such activities.

• It is highly recommended that anyone planning to become involved in competitive type Free dive activities obtain proper instruction and training from a recognized Free Diving trainer. It is imperative that the physiological affects be understood and the diver is physically prepared.

improper battery replacement is not covered by the VEO's warranty.

Page 92

MODULE REMOVAL FROM BOOT

If the module is in a console, bend the rubber console boot back to expose the edge of the module. If the boot is ﬂexible enough to permit, you may bend it back far enough to scoop the module out with your ﬁnger. Otherwise, it may be necessary to insert a blunt screwdriver until the tip rests just underneath the module.

DO NOT pry the module from the console! Slowly increase the pressure under the module by releasing the tension on the rubber boot. The module will slide up the screwdriver and exit the console.

If the module is in a wrist boot, it will be necessary to peel the lips of the boot downward off the module while applying pressure from underneath, working it out slowly.

When the battery is removed, settings and calculations for repetitive dives

are retained in the unit's memory while a new battery is installed.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The battery compartment should only be opened in a dry and clean environment with extreme care taken to prevent the entrance of moisture or dust.

To prevent formation of moisture in the battery compartment, it is recommended that the battery be changed in an environment equivalent to the local outdoor temperature and humidity (e.g., do not change the battery in an air conditioned environment, then take it outside during a hot sunny day).

Page 93

Battery Cover Removal

• Turn the module over to expose the Battery Cover.

• While applying steady inward pressure on the center of the Battery Cover, rotate the Retaining Ring 10 degrees clockwise by pressing against the upper tab of the Ring with a small blade screwdriver (Fig. 109).

• Lift the Ring up and away from the Housing, or turn the Module over to allow the Ring to drop out into your hand.

• Remove the Battery Cover.

Battery Removal

• Remove the Retaining Bar located across the lower portion of the Battery (Fig. 110a).

• Remove the Cover O-ring. DO NOT use tools.

• Slide the Battery up and out of the Battery Compartment.

Fig. 109 - COVER RING

Inspection

• Closely check all of the sealing surfaces for any signs of damage that might impair proper sealing.

• Inspect the Button, Lens, and Housing to ensure they are not cracked or damaged.

WARNING: If damage or corrosion is found, return your VEO to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer, and DO NOT attempt to use it until it has received factory prescribed service.

Battery Installation

• Slide a new 3 volt type CR2450 Lithium Battery, ( - ) negative side down into the Battery Compartment. Slide it in from the right side and ensure that it slides under the contact clip on the left rim (Fig. 111).

• Orient the Retaining Bar across the lower portion of the Battery and carefully push it down into position (Fig. 112).

Battery Cover and Retaining Ring Installation

• Lightly lubricate a new Cover O-ring* with silicone grease and place it on the inner rim of the Battery Cover (Fig.

113). Ensure that it is evenly seated.

*The O-ring must be a genuine Oceanic part that can be purchased from an

Authorized Oceanic Dealer. Use of any other O-ring will void the warranty.

• Slide the Cover Ring, top portion ﬁrst (small opening), onto your thumb.

• Carefully place the Battery Cover (with O-ring) into position on the rim of the Battery Compartment, then press it evenly and completely down into place with your same thumb.

• Maintain the Battery Cover securely in place and, using your other hand, slide the Cover Ring down off your thumb and into position around the Battery Compartment.

• The tabs on the Cover Ring ﬁt down into the two slots located at the 2 and 8 o'clock positions.

Page 95

• Using your ﬁngers, turn the Ring counter clockwise 5 degrees until the tabs engage (Fig. 114), then tighten it 5 more degrees by turning it counter clockwise with the aide of a small blade screwdriver (Fig. 115).

• While tightening the Retaining Ring, exert continuous inward pressure on it until it is secured in the proper position. A small symbol located on the Ring should be aligned with the Locked symbol located on the Housing (Fig. 116a)

Inspection

• Activate the unit and watch carefully as it performs a full diagnostic and battery check, and enters Surface Mode.

• Observe the LCD display to ensure it is consistently clear and sharp in contrast throughout the screen.

WARNING: If there are any portions of the display missing or appearing dim, or if a Low Battery condition is indicated, return the unit to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer for a complete evaluation before attempting to use it.

RETURNING THE MODULE TO BOOT

• If the boot was ﬁtted with a spacer and it was previously removed, replace the spacer into the boot.

• Orient the module over the opening in the boot, and dip the bottom edge into it while pressing the top edge with the palm of your hand. Stop pressing when the bottom edge of the module has just entered the boot.

• Correct the alignment of the module as needed so that it is straight.

• Press the module completely into place with your thumbs, watching the alignment, until it snaps into place.

Page 97

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.

> 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 VEO automatically adjusts to these conditions providing corrected 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 VEO will not function as a Dive Computer above 14,000 feet (4,270 meters).
