VR3 acting strangly

Pierre Farrugia · 5th June 2005, 16:06

Hello,

On sat. before dive my VR3 started a dive on land showing 20min dive time but depth 0. Then just switched off! Jumped in and worked perfectly even depth was ok, then at end of dive while surfacing with set point 0.7, at 3m or less, noticed that the setpoint was changing and at a point was showing 0.4!! I don't use an external cell and unit was not bumped or dropped!!! Anyone had same problem? Today I dove it again and worked just fine!

Regards

Pierre

I have noticed this, say a couple of times, in the last few years and from memory it was when I was teaching on Air Diluent on the vary rare occassion that I was not using mix.

I must say that I completely forgot about it until you posted this today.

Email Delta-P and see what they say....

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.
