MULTI-GAS DECOMPRESSION COMPUTER WITH OPTIOWAL WIRELESS AIR INTEGRATION

The Suunto Vytec is the most feature-rich dive computer on the market. Building on the reliable and easy-to-use Vyper and Cobra, the Vytec offers additional features such as gas switching and wireless air integration. The Vytec provides a wide range of operating modes and settings that can be set to suit every diver's needs with an easy-to-operate user interface. Operating mode specific displays, reliable push-buttons and a clear display add to user friendliness.

GAS SWITCHING The Suunto Vytec enables the technically oriented diver to switch gases during the dive. When in Nitrox mode the user can preset up to three different gas-mixes containing 21-99% oxygen. Preferred gas mixes can be stored as default (e.g. EAN32, EAN50, EAN99), and be set ON or OFF for each dive, or modified as needed. The Suunto Vytec provides easy and reliable gas switching between enabled gases during the dive. Gas switching is allowed only for gases that lie within chosen maximum PO2 limits. CNS and OTU values are displayed using a Oxygen Limit Fraction (OLF) bar graph.

OPTIONAL WIRELESS PRESSURE TRANSMISSION

The Suunto Vytec is available as a complete package or with an optional wireless pressure transmitter that can easily be attached to the high-pressure port. The wireless operation can easily be enabled or disabled in the Vytec's settings. With the wireless transmission enabled the Vytec displays tank pressure and calculates remaining air time based on current gas consumption. The wireless transmission can be used in Air, Nitrox and Gauge modes. The pressure transmitter is 300bar (4000psi) compatible, and has user replaceable battery.

Available in April 2002

ACCURATE GAUGE MODE WITH STOPWATCH

In Gauge mode the Vytec works as a bottom timer also providing accurate profile sampling and bookmarking functions. A resetable dive timer also displays the dive time in minutes and seconds, a feature extremely useful for timing accurate bottom times and decompression stops.
