8 1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the SUUNTO VYTEC advanced dive computer . The Vytec builds on the Suunto tradition of delivering feature-rich dive computers. The Suunto V ytec provides many new and enhanced features that cannot be found in other dive computers, such as gas switching and optional wireless air-integration. Push [...]

9 In order to optimize how to respond to different added risk situations an additional category of stop, referred to as a Mandatory Safety Stop, has been introduced. Also a countdown for the Recommended Safety Stop is included. The combination of stop types will depend on the speci fi c dive situation. T o get the most from the safety bene fi ts [...]

10 1.1.2. Dive Computer Limitations While the dive computer is based on current decompression research and technology , you must realize that the computer cannot monitor the actual physiological functions of an individual diver . All decompression schedules currently known to the authors, including the U.S. Navy T ables, are based on theoretical ma[...]

11 The timekeeping display is the default display of the instrument (Fig. 2.1.). If a button is not pressed within 5 minutes, the dive com puter beeps and returns to the timekeeping display automatically (except in Diving and Simula- tion modes). The timekeeping display shuts off after two hours, but pressing the PLAN or TIME button activates it. M[...]

12 Press the SMART (MODE) button • T o activate the dive computer . • T o change from the Surface Mode to the menu based modes. • T o select, con fi rm or quit a submode (short press). • T o immediately exit any submode to the Surface Mode (long press). • T o activate the electroluminescent backlight (in the Surface Mode hold down the mo[...]

13 2.4. WIRELESS CYLINDER PRESSURE TRANSMISSION The V ytec can be used together with an optional wireless cylinder pressure transmitter that can easily be attached to the high-pres- sure port of the regulator (Fig. 2.5). By using the transmitter the diver can bene fi t from cylin- der pressure and remaining air time data. In order to use the trans[...]

14 2.4.2. Pairing and Code Selection In order to receive wireless data the transmitter and the V ytec wrist unit need to be paired. During the pairing procedure the transmitter and wrist unit select a common transmission code. The transmitter turns on when the pressure exceeds 15bar [218 psi] and it then starts sending pressure data together with a[...]

15 The selected transmission code can later be veri fi ed via the alternative display , by pressing the “TIME” button twice. If needed, the stored code can be manually erased in this display by pressing the “PLAN” (up) button and then pressing “MODE” (select). The V ytec will now erase the stored code and start displaying “SETC” al[...]

16 In case the transmitter battery is running low , a low battery warning “LOBT” will be transmitted and displayed intermittently with the pressure reading on the V ytec (Fig.2.6 d). If the dive is started without that the V ytec and the transmitter have been properly paired, the V ytec will indicate that no cylinder data is available by displa[...]

17 QUIT 3. DIVING WITH THE VYTEC This section contains instructions on how to operate the dive computer and interpret its displays. Y ou will fi nd that this dive computer is easy to use and read. Each display shows only the data relevant to that speci fi c diving situation. 3.1. BEFORE DIVING 3.1.1. Activation and Prechecks The dive computer wil[...]

20 If the battery symbol is displayed in the Surface mode or if the display is faded or weak, the battery may be too low to operate the dive computer and battery replacement is recommended. NOTE! For safety reasons the backlight cannot be activated when the low battery warning is indicated by the battery symbol. 3.1.2.2. Wireless T ransmitter Batte[...]

21 The surface interval must be at least 5 minutes for a dive to be considered a repetitive dive. Otherwise, it is considered a continuation of the same dive. The dive number will not change and the dive time will continue, where it left off (see also section 3.6.2. “Dive Numbering”). 3.1.4. User De fi nable Functions and Alarms This V ytec ha[...]

22 3.2.2. Mandatory Safety Stop When the ascent rate exceeds 12 meters/min [40 ft] momentarily or 10 meters/min [33ft] con- tinuously the micro-bubble build-up is predicted to be more than allowed for in the decompres- sion model. The Suunto RGBM calculation model responds to this by adding a Mandatory Safety Stop to the dive. The time of this Mand[...]

23 3.2.3. Deep Stops The Suunto V ytec allows the user to choose a deep stop algorithm instead or the traditional recommended safety stop. Deep Stops are decompression stops that occur deeper than traditional stops, with the purpose of minimizing microbubble formation and excitation. The Suunto RGBM model calculates deep stop iteratively , placing [...]

27 3.3.6. Safety Stops and Deep Stops If Deep Stops are not used a 3 minute Recom- mended Safety Stop is prompted after every dive to 10m depth ( fi g. 3.1 1). Continuous ascent rate violations will result in Mandatory Safety Stops ( fi g. 3.14). When enabled, Deep stops are calculated. The length of the recommended Deep Stop is indicated in seco[...]

It will take more time and more air to decompress below the ceil- ing than at the ceiling. W ARNING! NEVER ASCEND ABOVE THE CEILING! Y ou must not ascend above the ceiling during your decompress[...]

30 DISPLA Y ABOVE THE CEILING If you ascend above the ceiling during a de- compression stop, a downward pointing arrow will appear and a continuous beeping starts (Fig. 3.19.). In addition, an error warning Er reminds you that you have only three minutes to correct the situation. Y ou must immediately descend to or below the ceiling. If you continu[...]

Flying or travelling to a higher altitude should be avoided at any time the computer counts down the no- fl ying time. NOTE![...]

38 • If a diver had less than 2 hours total accumulated dive time in the last 48 hours, then a 12 hour surface interval before fl ying is recommended. • Following any dive that required a decompression stop, fl ying should be delayed for at least 24 hours, and if possible, for 48 hours. • Suunto recommends that fl ying is avoided until all[...]
