Inspiration Inspiration flash cards Remember that your unit AVERAGES the two closest cells. Any deviation outside (above or below).15 of the average will cause an alarm or CELL WARNING. The following cards first depict a plain handset. Sometimes a notation of additional info is included. The card following with analysis and corrective action in yellow will have a slide “b” designation. Working these slides should help you to build intuitiveness into handset issue recognition.

MASTER ARE YOU BECOMING POSITIVE? OR NEGATIVE?

MASTER b ARE YOU BECOMING POSITIVE? OR NEGATIVE? DID YOU DESCEND SEVERAL FEET? You would become more negative. More positive buoyancy would be O2 addition. PERFORM DILUENT FLUSH MONITOR FOR CELL MOVEMENT REPEAT DIL. FLUSH AS INDICATED PERFORM BAILOUT PRIOR TO HYPEROXIC MIX. May need to shutdown O2 valve to remain neutral.

Low Battery Warning on Primary 14

Low Battery Warning on Primary 14b Turn off Master Check that secondary has become Master Restart Primary which should now be slave The primary handset and battery drives the solenoid Switching should give you additional time to terminate dive.

Master You have just completed a diluent aprox. 60ft. Which sensors are reasonably accurate? What could be the problem ? How best do attempt to resolve this problem? 15

Master You have just completed a diluent aprox. 60ft. 1. Which sensors are reasonably accurate? 2. What could be the problem ? 3. How best do attempt to resolve this problem? 15b 1. Sensor 1 closest to accurate, 3 is next closest As long as the gas was analyzed and sensors correctly calibrated 2. probable water condensation on sensor faces. 3. Diluent flush should help dry the sensor faces Manual inject should keep condensation due to gas addition away from sensor faces.

If you are utilizing Air as diluent What should sensor readout be when you perform a diluent apox. 100ft ? 16

If you are utilizing Air as diluent What should sensor readout be when you perform a diluent apox. 100ft ? 16b (99 / 33) + 1 = 4 ata 4 x.21 =.84 Be prepared to calculate PO2 of diluent for at least each atmosphere.

You are at 120 fw and perform a diluent flush (diluent is.21) Which sensor is most accurate? 17

You are at 120 fw and perform a diluent flush (diluent is.21) Which sensor is most accurate? 17b 130 ft would be 5 ata 5 x.21 = 1.05 So # 2 and #3 are more accurate.
