Shearwater & the Meg

jkeep · 2nd April 2008, 20:29

Hi,
Has anybody wired all 3 cells into their shearwater
yet & if so have you had any problems?

My friend has wired his shearwater into all 3
cells on his classic without a problem so was wandering
if anybody has any reports on the meg

Regards,

Jeff

Hi jeff

I kow people have done it but. I was talking with jerry at isc recently and there is a very small chance you could have problems with either the apecs software or the sherwater.

It has somethig to do with the inpedence or resistance being to high. i am sure an electronics wizz can explain it easy. my understanding is if you put a buffer betewe the two circuits then you take away the problem and you are up and running.

In fact ISC are going to offer this as an option shortly.

there is a possible problem with the old GF but the new pursuit is fine,
we have done a plug and play conversion for mike woods as we were going to do for you jeff, mikes set up is working a treat.

I've got a Pursuit wired into a COPIS head and it works perfectly. I use my COPIS LED and my Shearwater with the COPIS handset clipped off.

The Shearwater is very clear and uber reliable.

As John says, mine works fine, i have checked Mv outputs with it connected and disconected and there is no change on the APECs 2.06 display. The unit has performed so far. I am using a GF and the Po2 displays match the meg displays. I now have on board deco.

Thanks everyone for there replies

I spoke to IS and they dont reccommend it, something to
do with wizzy, sparky, volty type things

but having spoke
to both john & bruce it seems it will be fine. Probobly IS covering
there asses.

Ive been onto John at Narked@90 who is bakeing me
a plug and play setup so I can just plug my shearwater
strait in (and unplug it if nessesery)

I must say, John has been more than helpful (and pacient

)
so if anybody needs any help/bits, i would reccommend him.

I should be out diving it soon so will put a report up.

Regards,

Jeff
