PATENT NOTICE

U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features:

Dive Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 4,586,136), Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S.

Patent no. 4,882,678), and Ascent Rate Indicator (U.S. Patent no. 5,156,055). User Setable

Display (U.S. Patent no. 5,845,235) is owned by Suunto Oy (Finland).

DECOMPRESSION MODEL

The programs within the XP 5 simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a math-

ematical model. This model is merely a way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of expe-

riences. The XP 5 dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in de-

compression theory. Still, using the XP 5, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decom-

pression 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 pre-

dict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.

CONTENTS (continued)

Pay special attention to items marked with this Warning symbol.

• The XP 5 is not intended for use by military or commercial divers.

• The XP 5 is intended for use by recreational divers who have successfully completed a

nationally recognized course in scuba diving, and diving with enriched nitrogen-oxygen

(nitrox) mixtures.

• It must not be used by untrained persons who may not have knowledge of the potential risks

and hazards of scuba diving, and diving with nitrox.

• You must obtain scuba certification, and certification in diving with nitrox before using

the XP 5, if you have not already done so.

• It is NOT for use by military and commercial divers.

• It should NOT be utilized for any competitive, or repetitive square wave or unplanned decom-

pression diving, it is intended solely for recreational use and multilevel diving.

• As with all underwater life support equipment, improper use or misuse of this product can

cause serious injury or death.

• Conduct your dives in such a manner so as to insure that you continuously check the

computer's proper function.

• If you do not fully understand how to use this dive computer, or if you have any questions,

you should seek instruction in its use from your authorized AERIS dealer before you utilize

this product.

• Never participate in sharing or swapping of a dive computer. Doing so may result in injury or

death.

• If you exceed certain limits, the XP 5 will not be able to tell you how to get safely back to

the surface. These situations exceed tested limits and can result in loss of some XP 5

functions for 24 hours after the dive in which a Violation occurred.

• The XP 5 enters Immediate Violation Mode when a situation totally exceeds its capacity to

predict an ascent procedure. These dives represent gross excursions into decompres-

sion that are beyond the boundaries and spirit of the XP 5 design. If you are following

these dive profiles, SEEMANN advises you not to use an XP 5 dive computer.

WARNINGS AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

FEATURES and DISPLAYS

WELCOME TO SEEMANN !

AND

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THE XP 5 !

Your XP 5 presents the information that you need before, during, and after your air (or

nitrox) dives using a combination of easy to read displays and identification icons. It

can also be set to operate simply as a digital depth gauge/timer. This instructional

guide is intended to help you become familiar with the functions and features available

and show you examples of displays that you could expect to see in the various opera-

tional modes. Relax and read through the complete owner's guide.

Remember that the rules you learned in your basic scuba certification course(s) still

apply to the diving you will do while using a dive computer - some will become even

more important. Technology is no substitute for common sense, and a dive computer

only provides the person using it with data, not the knowledge to use it.

Since the XP 5 can be used when diving with either Air or Nitrox, the term Breathing

Gas is used in this manual.

• Breathing Gas is the gaseous mixture breathed during a dive.

• Air is a breathing gas that contains approximately 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen

(nature's common nitrogen-oxygen mixture).

• Nitrox is a nitrogen-oxygen breathing gas that contains a higher fraction of oxygen

(22 to 50%) than air.

CONTROL BUTTONS

The two Control Buttons allow you to select display options, access specific

information when you want to see it, and activate the Backlight.

The Front button is named Advance (Fig. 1a) and the Side button Select (Fig. 1b).

BAR GRAPHS

Nitrogen Bar Graph

The Nitrogen Bar Graph (Fig. 1c) represents tissue loading of nitrogen, showing your

relative no decompression or decompression status. As your depth and elapsed dive

time increase, segments will add to the Graph, and as you ascend to shallower

depths, the Bar Graph will begin to recede, indicating that additional no decompression

time is allowed for multilevel diving.

The Nitrogen Bar Graph monitors 12 different nitrogen com-

partments simultaneously and displays the one that is in

control of your dive. It is divided into a green No

Decompression (normal) zone, a yellow Caution zone (also

No Decompression), and a red Decompression (danger)

zone.

While you cannot provide a guarantee against the occur-

rence of decompression sickness, you may choose your

own personal zone of caution based upon age, physique,

excessive weight, etc., to reduce the statistical risk. Fig. 1 - Buttons and NiBG

Oxygen (O2) Accumulation Bar Graph

The O2 Bar Graph (Fig. 2a) represents oxygen loading,

your relative oxygen tolerance dosage (OTU), showing the

maximum of either per dive accumulated oxygen, or 24 hour

period accumulated oxygen. As your accumulation in-

creases during the dive, segments will add to the Bar

Graph, and as loading decreases, it will begin to recede, in-

dicating that additional exposure is allowed.

NOTE: Displays associated with oxygen and

the O2 Bar Graph will only appear if FO2 has

been set at a value other than 'Air'.

Variable Ascent Rate Indicator

The Variable Ascent Rate Indicator (Fig. 2b) provides a

visual representation of ascent speed (i.e., an ascent

speedometer). Green is a 'normal' rate, yellow a 'caution'

rate, and red is 'Too Fast'. The segments of the Variable

Ascent Rate Indicator represent 2 sets of speeds which

change at a reference depth of 60 feet (18 meters). Refer

to the chart for segment values.

WARNING: At depths greater than 60 feet (18

m), ascent rates should not exceed 60 feet per

minute (18 mpm). At depths of 60 feet (18 m)

and shallower, ascent rates should not exceed

30 feet per minute (9 mpm).
