The selected transmission code can later be verified via the alternative display, by pressing the “TIME” button twice. If needed, the stored code can be manually erased in this display by pressing the “PLAN” (up) button and then pressing “MODE” (select). The Vytec will now erase the stored code and start displaying “SETC” allowing a new pairing with the trans- mitter.

The alternative display showing the select- ed code reverts to the main display after 15 seconds in order to avoid accidental code changes.

The user can manually change the transmit- ters code by reducing the pressure to less than 10 bar [145 psi] and then immediately (within 10-12s) increasing the pressure above 15 bar [220 psi]. The transmitter will now select a new code. The wrist unit must be in SETC mode to pair on the new code. This procedure can be used e.g. if your dive buddy has the same code and you need to change the code.

NOTE: In order to save battery energy the transmitter shuts off if the pressure remains unchanged for more than 5 minutes and it will continue transmitting with the saved code when any pressure change is measured.

After the pairing procedure the Vytec will receive cylinder pressure data from the transmitter. The pressure is displayed in either bars or psi de- pending on the unit selection. Any time the Vytec receives an appropri- ate signal it flashes the lightning figure in the display’s lower left corner. A pressure reading of over 360 bar [5220 psi] will display as “---“ (Fig. 2.6 b).

If the Vytec is unable to receive a valid signal for more than one minute it will start displaying “FAIL” intermittently with the latest valid pressure reading (Fig. 2.6 c).
