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), Dive Computer with Free Dive Mode (U.S. Patent no. 8,600,701). 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 OCL 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 OCL dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in

decompression theory. Still, using the OCL, 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.

HISTORY

Each Menu has a start (ﬁrst) selection and a stop (last) selection. Upon entering a Menu, movement through it begins at the

start (ﬁrst) selection, then continues in a rolling manner showing one selection at a time.

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

Sample Menu

(all selections shown)

Menu button action >>

A (< 2 sec) - to access and step forward through menu selections.

A (hold) - to scroll forward through menu selections.

M (< 2 sec) - to step backward through menu selections.

M (2 sec) - to revert to Main screen for the mode in use.

S (< 2 sec) - to access or save selections.

S (2 sec) - to step back to the previous selection.

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

Pressing M (< 2 sec), while viewing the Surface Main, will jump to the last menu selection (such as Set T or SN), then continued presses will step

back through menu items.

BACKLIGHT

To activate the Backlight at any time >> press the L button.

• 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 L is depressed for more than 10 seconds.

• Press L again to activate as desired.

Extensive use of the backlight reduces estimated battery life. Also, the backlight does not operate during a low battery condi-

tion or when the OCL is connected to a PC or Mac.

OCL OPERATING MANUAL

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 edge 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 for the Gas in use**.

• 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**.

• 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)**.

• Delayed Violation (Max Operating Depth is exceeded).

• A Gas Switch would expose the diver to PO2 => 1.60 ATA**.

• Watch Daily Alarm reaches time set (disabled during Dive Modes).

• Watch Mode Countdown Timer reaches 0.

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

• After 5 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.

• Upon Surfacing during a Conditional Violation.

PC/MAC INTERFACE

Interface with a PC or Mac, to allow uploading settings and downloading data, is accomplished by connecting the OCL to a PC or Mac USB Port

using the special Oceanic 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 OCL 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 PC and Mac programs can be used to set/change the selections in the Watch Time group, NORM/GAUG Set

A (Alarms) groups, NORM/GAUG Set U (Utilities) groupd\s, and FREE Set FA (Free Alarms) group. NORM Set Gas items must be set using the

control buttons.

Information available for retrieval (download) from the OCL to the PC/Mac programs includes dive data such as number, surface interval time,

maximum depth, elapsed dive time, no deco status, start date/time, lowest temperature under water, sampling rate, dive proﬁle (with Earmarks),

and set points.

The PC/Mac programs also allow upgrade of select versions of the OCL's ﬁrmware (operating system software) after which the OCL resets all oper-

ating data. Since the upgrades require reset of the OCL, they are blocked during 24 hours after dives.

WATCH MODE

WATCH MAIN TIME

Selection of Main Time is a Set T (Time) menu item.

Time of Day and Date can be set when either Home or Away time is selected as the Watch Main.

Home Time is the current time at your home location and is normally selected as the Watch Main Time.

Away Time, set by Hour Differential, is the current Time at a remote travel location. Upon arrival at the location, Away

Time can be interchanged with Home Time to make it the Watch Main Time while visiting the travel location.

Fig. 4A - WATCH MAIN

(Home with Date)

Dual Time is the second time (Away or Home) that can be displayed simultaneously with Watch Main Time with set On. It

is a +/- Hour Differential based on the Watch Main Time that is selected (Home or Away).

Once a differential is set, it will automatically change when Time of Day is changed. Also, when Away Time is selected to

be the Watch Main Time (while at a travel location), it can be changed by changing the differential instead of the Time of

Day.

MAIN TIME, information includes (Fig. 4A/B/C):

> Alarm (speaker) icon, if the Daily Alarm is set On.
