SUUNTO Vyper Air - Manual (Page 19)

In order to use the transmitter, the wireless integration needs to be enabled in your Suunto
Vyper
AIR
's settings. To enable or disable the wireless integration refer to Section 5.8.10.
Setting the tank pressure.
5.7.1. Installing the wireless transmitter
When purchasing the Suunto Vyper
AIR
, we strongly recommend that you have your Suunto
representative attach the transmitter to the first stage of your regulator.
However, if you decide to attach it yourself, do the following:
1.
Remove the high pressure (HP) port plug on the first stage of your regulator using an
appropriate tool.
2. Thread the high pressure transmitter of the Suunto Vyper
AIR
into the HP port of your
regulator with your fingers. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Maximum torque is 6 Nm/4.4
lbsft or 53 lbsin. The seal is based on a static O-ring, not force!
3. Attach the regulator to the scuba cylinder and slowly open the valve. Check for leaks
by submerging the regulator first stage in water. If leaks are detected, check the
condition of the O-ring and sealing surfaces.
5.7.2. Pairing and code selection
In order to receive wireless data, the transmitter and the Suunto Vyper
AIR
need to be
paired. During the pairing procedure, the transmitter and dive computer select a common
transmission code.
The transmitter is activated when the pressure exceeds 15bar/218 psi and it then starts
sending pressure data together with a code number. During the pairing procedure, the
Suunto Vyper
AIR
stores the code number and starts displaying pressure values that are
received with that code. This coding procedure inhibits data mix-up from other divers also
using a Suunto Vyper
AIR
transmitter.
When there is no stored code, the Suunto Vyper
AIR
displays “cd:--” and receives data
with lowered sensitivity from a very short distance only. By taking the Suunto Vyper
AIR
close to the transmitter, it will store the received code and start receiving with full sensitivity
and display data received with this code only. The code is stored until you reset it manually.
To pair the transmitter and the Suunto Vyper
AIR
dive computer:
1. Make sure that the transmitter is properly attached to the regulator’s HP port and that
the regulator is properly attached to the cylinder.
2. Ensure that the Suunto Vyper
AIR
is turned on, and that the wireless integration is
enabled in the Suunto Vyper
AIR
settings (HP set ON, see Section 5.8.11. Setting the
HP code). The Vyper
AIR
should display “cd:--” in the lower left corner of the alternative
display.
3. Slowly open the cylinder valve fully and pressurize the regulator. The transmitter starts
transmitting when the pressure exceeds 15 bar/218 psi.
4. Take the Suunto Vyper
AIR
wrist unit close to the transmitter. The unit will then quickly
display the selected code number and then start displaying the transmitted cylinder
pressure. The wireless transmitter indicator is displayed every time the Suunto Vyper
AIR
receives a valid signal.
WARNING If there are several divers using Suunto Vyper
AIR
diving instruments
with wireless transmission, always ensure that each diver is using a
different code before starting the dive.
Reset the transmitter's code manually, see Section 5.8.11. Setting
the HP code.
The transmitter will then select a new code. The Suunto Vyper
AIR
must be in “cd:--“ mode to pair on the new code. This procedure can
be used if, for example, your dive buddy has the same code and you
need to change it.
