500AI
DIVE TIME REMAINING
One of the most important pieces of information on the 500AI is the patented
Dive Time Remaining numeric display (Fig. 11a). To numerically display Dive
Time Remaining, the 500AI constantly monitors two critical pieces of informa-
tion; no decompression status and oxygen accumulation status.
The Dive Time Remaining display will indicate the time that is more
critical for you at that particular moment (i.e.; whichever time is the
least amount available of the two).
This unique feature has been granted U.S. Patent No. 4,586,136.
The specific time being displayed is identified by the No Decompression Dive
Time icon or the Oxygen Accumulation Time icon displayed to the right of the
numeric display.
Simultaneously, Breathing Gas Time Remaining (Fig. 11b) and its identifying
icon are displayed below the Tank Pressure Bar Graph.
