Dive Planning ( ); Rapid Visualisation Of Set Data ( ); Program Parameters Setting (Depthometer/Timer) - Cressi Archimede II Manual De Instrucciones

2.3.2 - Dive planning (
While on the surface it is possible to go to the Plan function
( ) in order to visualize the remaining time available at dif-
ferent depths, without having to make decompression stops
(curve time), only by primary mixture MIX1.
The values are given both for the first of a (possible) series of
dives and during the surface interval between two or more
subsequent dives; in such case, Archimedes II takes into
account the residual nitrogen, therefore reducing the curve
times.
When the computer is set on
button B (Mode) twice, you view to the function (
shown by the alphanumeric display. The display will show (pic-
ture 5, air; picture 5.1., Nitrox) no decompression depths times
between 30 – 157 ft., in depth increments of 10 ft. This is obtai-
ned by depressing C ( ), or by manual depth decreases, each
of ft. 10, by depressing button A ( ).
Depress button B (Mode) for several seconds in order to get
back to the normal display (picture 1).
NOTE: PLAN function will be switched off in
and in this case the computer shows Error.

The Archimedes II computer is equipped with a third program
( program or depth meter/timer) that may be used for
both apnea (free divers) divers and for the use in technical
dives with helium-based binary and ternary mixtures. In this
case, the instrument gives only the dive's basic depth and dive
time parameters. It does not make tissue saturation and de-
saturation computation, which must be programmed and
computed by means of proper software and/or tables.
Cressi-sub reminds you that sport dives must be carried out
within the no-decompression guidelines, and at the maximum
depth of 132 ft. This is the limit of sport diving. To exceed these
limits remarkably increases the risk of decompression sickness.
