Idiots Guide to VR3 cell calibration?

***Beanie*** · 4th September 2006, 10:25

I need one

Completely ballsed it up yesterday!
Not quite sure what I did think I told it the cal has was 21% instead of 99%

So I need an idiots guide to VR3 calibration

I can never make head nor tail of the manual

Hi Beanie

I've also faced some problems with calibration when I had my VR3 connected to the SKiss.

Try the guidelines on the link below, hopefully they be useful:

Cheers

Looks like I just go the gas wrong, might have to create a quick crib sheet to calibrate it in future - what a faff.

I still have not managed to get it to calibrate properly and it never seems to track similar to the other cells.... it also seems to need about 20-30 bar O2 before it comes anywhere close, is that normal !!

has anyone got a rough guide to calibration, better than the vr3 manual version

and who knows why: after calibrating with pure O2, the right gas is set (99%), after calibration I get 1.03, even sometimes 1.04

this difference can not come from atmospheric perssure diff?? (I'm at sea-level :-)

(I must admit I don't use the VR3 much anymore :-(

Oh no mine tracked beautifully just at about 1/2 values

But I'm still playing, which is why I didn't bother recalbrating it after I screwed it up.

Hello,

This is how I do it! First go to gases and chooses 99% Oxygen as Calib gas. Then suck all gas out as if I was doing a 6m oxygen flush for 3 times. Then get in Calib screen till last screen, leave reading to settle and done.

Here is a guide from Divermole website Diver Mole, "Your Inspiration Buddy"

Handy thread...might a better location be in Rebreather Dive Computers / Rebreather Electronics ?
