power mode. You must wake the device from low power mode
to complete the pairing process.
NOTE: If a transmitter was packaged with your dive computer,
they are already paired.
1Install the transmitter on the first-stage regulator (Installing
the Transmitter on Your Tank Regulator, page 1).
2Gradually open the tank valve to pressurize the first-stage
regulator.
When the transmitter detects pressure, it wakes from low
power mode. The transmitter plays a tone when it wakes
from low power mode and is ready to pair.
3On the compatible Descent dive computer, hold MENU, and
select Dive Setup > Air Integration > Transmitters > Add
New.
The dive computer starts searching and displays a list of
nearby transmitters.
4From the list of transmitters, select the transmitter ID you
want to pair.
The transmitter ID is printed on the housing.
When the pairing process is complete, Connected appears on
the dive computer screen. The transmitter begins sending tank
pressure data, and it is ready to use on a dive. The next time the
transmitter and dive computer are turned on and within wireless
range, they connect automatically when you start a dive.
If you are diving with a group, you can pair up to 5 Descent T1
transmitters with the dive computer.
Transmitter Settings
You can customize the settings for paired transmitters prior to a
dive.
On the paired Descent dive computer, hold MENU, select Dive
Setup > Air Integration > Transmitters, and select a
transmitter.
Status: Enables a connection to the transmitter, and shows
current connection status.
Identify: Plays a tone on the selected paired transmitter. This
helps you to identify the transmitter without needing to look at
the transmitter ID printed on the transmitter housing.
Units: Sets the pressure units for your tank. The device defaults
to psi if your depth setting is in feet, and bar if your depth
setting is in meters.
Working Pressure: Sets how much pressure the tank has when
full. This value is used to determine the upper end of the
pressure gauge, and to calculate respiratory minute volume
(RMV) for tanks using psi units.
Reserve Pressure: Sets the threshold values for reserve
pressure and critical pressure alerts to appear on the dive
computer.
Volume: Allows you to enter the air volume of the tank. You can
use the Reset Volume option if you move the transmitter to a
different size tank.
NOTE: This value is required to calculate volumetric surface
air consumption (SAC) and respiratory minute volume (RMV)
(Selecting the Gas Consumption Rate Metric, page 3).
SAC/RMV/ATR: Enables the transmitter to be included in
volumetric surface air consumption (SAC), respiratory minute
volume (RMV), and air time remaining (ATR) estimates
(Including Transmitters in Gas Consumption Calculations,
page 3).
Set Transmit Power: Allows you to adjust the power setting if
your transmitter is losing connection with the paired dive
computer underwater.
About: Displays the transmitter ID, software version, and battery
status.
Name: Allows you to enter an easily identifiable name for the
transmitter.
Remove: Allows you to remove a paired transmitter.
Dive Terminology
Air time remaining (ATR): The time you may remain at the
current depth until an ascent at 9 m/min. (30 ft./min.) would
result in surfacing with the reserve pressure.
Pressure-based surface air consumption (PSAC): The
change in pressure over time, normalized to 1 ATM.
Respiratory minute volume (RMV): The change in gas volume
at ambient pressure over time.
Volumetric surface air consumption (SAC): The change in
gas volume over time, normalized to 1 ATM.
Selecting Paired Transmitters to View on Your Dive
Data Screens
You can view two paired transmitters at-a-glance on the primary
dive data screen. You can customize which paired transmitters
appear on the screen. By default, the first and second
transmitters that you pair appear.
1On the paired Descent dive computer, hold MENU.
2Select Dive Setup > Air Integration > Display Setup.
3Select a field to customize.
4Select a paired transmitter.
Selecting the Gas Consumption Rate Metric
1On the paired Descent dive computer, hold MENU.
2Select Dive Setup > Air Integration > Display Setup > Gas
Consumption Rate.
3Select an option.
NOTE: The dive computer can estimate volumetric surface
air consumption (SAC) or respiratory minute volume (RMV)
only if the air volume of the tank is entered in the dive
computer (Transmitter Settings, page 3). The dive computer
can estimate pressure-based surface air consumption
(PSAC) with or without the air volume of the tank.
Including Transmitters in Gas Consumption
Calculations
Gas consumption and air time remaining estimates are
calculated using the tank pressure from the included
transmitters. By default, the first transmitter that you pair with
your compatible dive computer is included. You can include
additional paired transmitters in gas consumption calculations.
1On the paired Descent dive computer, hold MENU.
2Select Dive Setup > Air Integration > Transmitters.
3Select a paired transmitter.
4Select the SAC/RMV/ATR toggle switch to include the
transmitter in gas consumption calculations.
5If necessary, repeat steps 2 through 4 to include additional
paired transmitters in gas consumption calculations.
Adding the Transmitters Data Screen to a Dive Mode
You can add the transmitters data screen to the data screen
loop for a dive mode.
1On the paired Descent dive computer, hold MENU.
2Select Activities & Apps.
3Select a dive mode, and select the dive mode settings.
4Select Data Screens > Add New > Transmitters.
Diving
You can use a compatible Descent dive computer paired with
your Descent T1 transmitter to start a diving activity. See the
Descent Series Owner's Manual for more information.
