General info English This user manual describes the settings and differences of the Galileo technical software version (herein referred to as “Tec SW”) compared to the main Galileo user manual. You should first read and understand the main Galileo manual before updating and using the Galileo Tec SW.
Update Tec SW can be downloaded to any Galileo computer like a normal software update. To obtain the Trimix update please contact your Authorized SCUBAPRO UWATEC dealer or see our web site at www.scubapro.com. F Note: Tec SW upgrade will only enable the the Trimix version in order to customize it for individual divers and their dive plans. Uwatec recommends using the workload feature when making technical dives and also the Heart Rate feature.
Warning It is possible to manually select a gas while diving which may have unsuitable high or low oxygen content or narcotic effect for that depth. The gas selection is not limited by the computer due to possible emergency situations that may arise. Selecting the improper gas may result in serious injury or death. 1.4 Minimum and Maximum Operating Depth Absolute Minimum Depth (AMD) and Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) are calculated from the oxygen content in the mix.
On the main display screen the gas content field shows the O2/He format for each gas when Tec SW is enabled. While diving, when pressing long the more button, the gas summary is shown. The second column shows the pressure when transmitters are used. The transmitter communicates the pressure signal only from the actively used gas. When the gas is not used within 5 minutes, the transmitter goes to a power save mode and Galileo shows “--” in the pressure field. Short press more, the profile display is shown.
English After selecting a dive from the log list, the first page shows a summary of the dive. The content of the gas is shown differently from the standard SW. By pressing the >> the profiles (with temperature and HR) are shown, which are similar to the standard SW. By pressing >> the next page is shown. When off gassing the compartment color changes from black to gray. Each bar is divided into Helium and Nitrogen in this phase, if Trimix is used during the dive. 3. After the dive 3.
4. Settings: The diagram shown on the previous page highlights the features that have changed when comparing the Tec SW to the standard Galileo SW. 4.1 Enabling Trimix - See 4.2 All the gases that have been switched on (see: Tank setting) are listed on separate pages. By pressing >> the last page identifying warnings from the dive are shown. By selecting menu -> Dive settings, you can scroll with up or down buttons to Trimix selection. By pressing enter you go to the following selection.
Tank settings To ensure an adequate supply of oxygen to the body, the gas used at the beginning of the dive must contain enough oxygen (you can use a travel mix or one of the decompression gases), as is required for Tank 1. Thereby, the first alarm about Absolute Minimum Depth would be given at shallower than 1.2 meters. ! By pressing long the left button at main display (shortcut) or selecting menu -> O2 settings (enter), you can change the content of the tanks.
Note: F By selecting a lower value for the ppO2min you may get Absolute Minimum Depth of 0 meters as shown in the screen below. However, we recommend always using at least 0.21 bar as the minimum to prevent accidental loss of consciousness due to hypoxia (oxygen starvation). When the pp02max value is highlighted, you may edit the maximum partial pressure value of oxygen with the + or – buttons. The possible range for the ppO2max setting is shown at the bottom of the screen with black background.
When the on/off field is highlighted by the gray curser, you may scroll between enable/ disable for that tank with + or - buttons. When On is set, the further settings for that gas will change from gray to black. By pressing >> the gas can be edited. English can scroll with up or down buttons to OTU settings selection. By pressing enter you go to following selection. By pressing up or down you may select between OTU information, OTU reset time or Clear OTUs.
By pressing ENTER at OTU reset time you will get to following screen. This screen will show that the OTUs have been reset. By pressing EXIT you will get to OTU settings. 4.4 Trimix version info The version of the Galileo can be checked under the menu -> Other settings -> Device information. By pressing + or – you may select OTU reset interval from 2 to 30 days. For example if you select 7 days, the OTU value and limits will be reset after 7 days without diving.
4.6 English rate readings during diving. A coded belt can be recognized from the word: Coded, printed after the model name Polar Heart Rate belts. Galileo Tec SW limits Limit Value Note Maximum depth limit before Galileo changes to Gauge mode 155 m / 508 ft Alarm about the change at 150m / 492 ft Maximum dive time Not limited Battery capacity limited. However, not suited for surface supplied or bell diving.
