Hi All

On my last dive my master thought it was at 180m (was actually around 25m) so I replaced the pressure censor with a spare. Now even though its sat in my living room it goes straight to dive mode with a depth of 82m showing and starts cal deco.

Thanks for any advice

Paul

first, I am assuming you are replacing the pressure sensor with the battery removed, if not the new cal data will not be loaded, so remove the battery and let it die, then try and restart.. also the wetswitches MUST be dry since it needs to set the surface pressure..

second if the sensor is not exactly perpendicular it will show a depth.. the retaining scres MUST be tightened so that the board is properly seated.. a bit off towards either side and it will register a depth..

The depth sensor is a digital device, if its mounted corrrectly and still registers a bad depth then your "spare" was probably NG.
