FINLAND (29 Jan 2002) -- Looking for a full-featured, user-friendly, multigas decompression dive computer from a company that understands divers can change a battery? Suunto's new top-of-the-line Vytec raises the bar on tech-friendly dive computers. The full decompression computer utilizes three operating modes: ability to set multiple gasses, optional wireless pressure transmission and a user-friendly operator interface (as in Vyper, not Mosquito). Versatile Decompression Computer The Vytec has three operating modes including Air (standard air), Nitrox (up to three nitrox mixes containing 21-99% oxygen) and Gauge (simple bottom timer). Decompression calculations are based on Suunto's adjustable RGBM model. Multiple Gases The Vytec enables tech divers to switch gases during the dive. When in Nitrox mode the user can preset up to three different gas mixes containing 21-99% oxygen. Preferred gas mixes can be stored as default (e.g. EAN32, EAN50, EAN99), and be set ON or OFF for each dive, or modified as needed. The Vytec provides easy and reliable gas switching between enabled gases during the dive. Gas switching is allowed only for gases that lie within chosen maximum PO2 limits. CNS and OTU values are displayed using a Oxygen Limit Fraction (OLF) bar graph. Optional Wireless Pressure Transmission The Vytec is available with an optional wireless pressure transmitter that can be attached to the high-pressure port. The wireless operation can be enabled or disabled in the Vytec's settings. With the wireless transmission enabled, the Vytec displays tank pressure and calculates remaining air time based on current gas consumption. The wireless transmission can be used in Air, Nitrox and Gauge modes. The pressure transmitter is 300bar (4000psi) compatible, and has a user replaceable battery. | | Accurate Gauge Mode With Stopwatch In Gauge mode the Vytec works as a bottom timer also providing accurate profile sampling and book marking functions. A dive timer with reset function also displays the dive time in minutes and seconds, a feature extremely useful for timing accurate bottom times and decompression stops. © CDNN - CYBER DIVER NEWS NETWORK |
