OVERVIEW The VEO 2.
MENU SYSTEM The LCD viewing area is used to display alpha numeric messages and measured values as well as Menu type systems for selection of settings and various auxiliary functions.
Menu button action >> A (< 2 sec) - to access and step forward through menu selections A (hold) - to scroll forward through menu selections S (< 2 sec) - to access or save selections Pressing A (< 2 sec) while viewing the last selection in the menu will revert to the first selection (such as Surface Main). At any time while on the surface, depressing the A and S buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds will revert operation to the Surface Main.
AUDIBLE ALARM While operating in NORM or GAUG Mode, the Audible will emit 1 beep per second for 10 seconds when alarms strike, unless it is set Off. During that time, the Audible can be acknowledged and silenced by pressing the S button (less than 2 seconds). An LED Warning Light, on the lower end of the housing, is synchronized with the Audible and flashes as the Audible sounds. It will turn Off when the Alarm is silenced.
• Delayed Violation (Max Operating Depth of 330 FT/100 M is exceeded in NORM or FREE mode, or 399 FT/120 M in GAUG mode). A single short beep (which cannot be disabled) sounds when • After 10 minutes on the surface after the Violation dive. 3 short beeps (which cannot be disabled) sound when • Ascent Rate is 51 to 60 FPM (15.1 to 18 MPM) when deeper than 60 FT (18 M), or 26 to 30 FPM (7.5 to 9 MPM) at 60 FT (18 M) and shallower. • FREE Dive Elapsed Dive Time Alarm (3 beeps every 30 seconds if set On).
PC INTERFACE Interface with a PC, to allow uploading settings and downloading data, is accomplished by connecting the VEO to a PC USB Port using the special VEO USB Interface Cable. The software program together with the USB Driver required is on the Oceanlog CD, and can be downloaded from the OceanicWorldwide web site. The program's HELP** serves as the user manual which can be printed for personal use.

CLEAR (RESET) The VEO is configured with a feature that allows data to be cleared, including nitrogen and oxygen calculations and Log entries. This is intended for facilities using the VEO for rental or training activities, not for general use by individual divers. WARNING: Reset after a dive and subsequent use for a repetitive dive conducted by the same diver could result in serious injury or death. Upon access, a factory assigned code number is displayed with the graphics CLR and id, all solid (Fig. 45).
DIVE MODE FEATURES 45
a BAR GRAPHS The VEO features 2 specific bar graphs. Fig. 46 - NO DECO > The one on the left represents nitrogen loading. It is referred to as the TLBG (Tissue Loading Bar Graph). > The one on the right represents ascent rate. It is referred to as the VARI (Variable Ascent Rate Indicator). TLBG (NORM only) The TLBG represents your relative No Deco (Fig. 46a) or Deco status (Fig. 47a). The first 4 segments represent No Deco status and the fifth indicates a Deco condition.
a VARI (NORM and GAUG) The VARI (Fig. 48a) provides a visual representation of ascent speed (i.e., an ascent speedometer). The segments represent two sets of speeds which change at a reference depth of 60 FT (18 M). Refer to the chart. When ascent is too fast, all segments will be displayed flashing (Fig. 49) until ascent is slowed. Fig. 48 - DIVE MAIN (Ascent normal) WARNING: When deeper than 60 FT (18 M), ascent rates should not exceed 60 FPM (18 MPM).
ALGORITHM The VEO is configured with 2 algorithms which allows you to choose which set of NDLs (No Deco Limits) will be used for nitrogen/oxygen calculations and displays relating to Plan and DTR (Dive Time Remaining). You can select to use either the DSAT or the PZ+. The selection will lock in for 24 hours after the last dive. DSAT has been the standard used by Oceanic in all of its dive computers until this time.
DEEP STOP (DS), No Deco only When the DS selection is set On, it will trigger during NORM No Deco dives when you descend to 80 FT (24 M), then calculate (and continually update) a Stop Depth equal to 1/2 the Max Depth. While 10 FT (3 M) deeper than the calculated DS, you will be able to access a DS Preview screen that will display the current DS Stop Depth/Time.
• If the SS was set for OFF or Timer, the display will not appear. • In the event that you descend 10 FT (3 M) deeper than the Stop Depth for 10 seconds during the countdown, or the countdown reaches 0:00, the No Deco Main screen will replace the SS Main screen which will reappear upon ascent to within 5 FT (1.5 M) deeper than the Safety Stop Depth set for 1 second.
DTR (DIVE TIME REMAINING) The VEO constantly monitors No Deco status and O2 Accumulation, and will display whichever Time is the least amount available as DTR on the No Deco Dive Main screen. The Time being displayed will be identified by the NDC or O2 icon. NDC (No Deco DTR) NDC is the maximum amount of time that you can stay at your present Depth before entering Deco. It is calculated based on the amount of nitrogen absorbed by hypothetical tissue compartments.
a Fig. 51 - NO DECO ALT 1 OTR (O2 DTR) When set for Nitrox operation, O2 during a dive is displayed on an ALT screen as a % of allowed saturation (Fig. 51a) identified by the O2SAT icons. The limit for O2 exposure (100%) is set at 300 OTU (oxygen tolerance units) per dive or 24 hour period. As time before reaching the limit decreases, % O2 increases and OTR (O2 DTR) decreases.

To fulfill your decompression obligation, you should make a safe controlled Ascent to a depth slightly deeper than, or equal to, the required Stop Depth indicated and decompress for the Stop Time indicated. The amount of decompression credit time that you receive is dependent on Depth, with slightly less credit given the deeper you are below the Stop Depth indicated. You should stay slightly deeper than the required Stop Depth indicated until the next shallower Stop Depth appears.

REFERENCE 87
PC INTERFACE The VEO is configured with a Data Port located on the side of the module (Fig. 106a) that enables it to be connected to a PC through a USB port using a special interface cable that is available as an optional accessory. The USB Driver required for the interface system is downloadable from the Oceanic Worldwide web site.
Upon sensing an interface connection, the requesting device (PC) connects to the VEO and is prepared for Upload of settings or Download of data which is then initiated using the PC program. During the process, which is a 2 minute window there is a PC countdown screen displayed on the VEO (Fig. 107). Prior to attempting to Download data from your VEO or Upload Settings to it, review the HELP section of the interface program.
CARE AND CLEANING Protect your VEO from shock, excessive temperatures, exposure to chemicals, and tampering. Protect the lens against scratches with a Instrument Lens Protector. Small scratches will naturally disappear underwater. • Soak and rinse the VEO in fresh water at the end of each day of diving, and check to ensure that the areas around the Low Pressure (Depth) Sensor (Fig. 108a), PC Interface Data Port (Fig. 108b), and buttons are free of debris or obstructions.
Oceanic recommends that you continue to have an inspection performed every year to ensure it is working properly. The costs of annual inspections, or inspections relating to water tight integrity, are not covered under the terms of the 2 year limited warranty. To Obtain Service: Take your VEO to your local Authorized Oceanic Dealer.
MODULE REMOVAL FROM BOOT If the module is in a console, bend the rubber console boot back to expose the edge of the module. If the boot is flexible enough to permit, you may bend it back far enough to scoop the module out with your finger. Otherwise, it may be necessary to insert a blunt screwdriver until the tip rests just underneath the module. DO NOT pry the module from the console! Slowly increase the pressure under the module by releasing the tension on the rubber boot.
Battery Cover Removal • Turn the module over to expose the Battery Cover. • While applying steady inward pressure on the center of the Battery Cover, rotate the Retaining Ring 10 degrees clockwise by pressing against the upper tab of the Ring with a small blade screwdriver (Fig. 109). • Lift the Ring up and away from the Housing, or turn the Module over to allow the Ring to drop out into your hand. • Remove the Battery Cover. Fig.
Fig. 111 - BATTERY Battery Installation • Slide a new 3 volt type CR2450 Lithium Battery, ( - ) negative side down into the Battery Compartment. Slide it in from the right side and ensure that it slides under the contact clip on the left rim (Fig. 111). • Orient the Retaining Bar across the lower portion of the Battery and carefully push it down into position (Fig. 112).
• Using your fingers, turn the Ring counter clockwise 5 degrees until the tabs engage (Fig. 114), then tighten it 5 more degrees by turning it counter clockwise with the aide of a small blade screwdriver (Fig. 115). • While tightening the Retaining Ring, exert continuous inward pressure on it until it is secured in the proper position. A small symbol located on the Ring should be aligned with the Locked symbol located on the Housing (Fig. 116a) Fig.
RETURNING THE MODULE TO BOOT • If the boot was fitted with a spacer and it was previously removed, replace the spacer into the boot. • Orient the module over the opening in the boot, and dip the bottom edge into it while pressing the top edge with the palm of your hand. Stop pressing when the bottom edge of the module has just entered the boot. • Correct the alignment of the module as needed so that it is straight.
ALTITUDE SENSING AND ADJUSTMENT Altitude (i.e., ambient pressure) is measured upon activation and every 15 minutes until a dive is made. > Measurements are only taken when the unit is dry. > Two readings are taken, the second reading 5 seconds after the first. The readings must be within 1 foot (30 cm) of each other to record that ambient pressure as the current Altitude. > No adjustments are made during any time that the Wet Contacts are bridged.
