Yes, I have had one on my KISS Classic for about 18 months. Probably 80-90 dives. It has been trouble free and easy to use. My only comment would be that it would be nice if it had a back light.....

Carl wired it into my KISS kidney and also wired in my VR3 to one of the sensors. I therefore have the Sartek display and the VR3 reading all 3 sensors. This gives a bit more redundancy in the event either would fail.

Thanks Peter,
Does it stay on continuously or shut off after a few minutes to save battery power like the KISS pendant display? And how much time are you getting from the battery?

Steve: It operates continuously. I replaced the battery once so far. Not because it went dead, but as a precaution. There is no low battery alert so changing it once a year would be prudent.

Incidently, I wear it on a chest D ring and a couple of times, I have brushed the switch with my hand or arm and turned the display off. No big deal, I just switch it on again.

The battery lasts quite a long time, but I can't remember exactly what Carl told me about battery life. Peter

Thank you Peter. I'll most likely get one...

Carl custom made one of his triple meters with a Bendix connector for my Mk 15.5. Have been using it for the last few weeks. Very simple and considerably bulkier than my other digital secondary from Colkan/Sub Sea.
