48 Sufcient Battery Capacity. This test ensures that the battery
has a sufcient charge to start a dive. The minimum necessary
charge depends on how long it has been (both in terms of time
and number of charge cycles) since the last Learn Cycle (see
Chapter 1). If 160 days have elapsed since the last Learn Cycle,
this test will always fail.

1) Standard Response; Insert battery into the charger.
2) Subject battery to a Learn Cycle on the charger (see Chapter 1);
3) If test continues to fail, try a different battery (subject to decompression
data issues);
4) If test failure persists, contact an authorized Poseidon Service Center for
repair.
45 Sufcient Diluent Supply Pressure. This test requires that the
diluent cylinder contains sufcient pressure for a dive to be
started (at least 25% of maximum capacity).
120 0=Timeout 1) Ensure the diluent cylinder is connected to the diluent regulator, and that
the valve is turned on; 2) Ensure that the diluent cylinder contains sufcient
pressure; 3) If test failure persists, contact an authorized Poseidon Service
Center for repair.

Positive Pressure Loop Test. Besides checking for leaks in the
breathing loop, this test checks several additional things,
including leaks in any of the four solenoid valves, that gas
actually passes through each of the two metabolic solenoid
valves, that the dump valve on the right counterlung is secured,
and that the depth sensor is sensitive to small pressue changes.
Because there are several things being checked during this
test, there are also several different kinds of failures, with different
solutions.
Mouthpiece Closed-Circuit Position. This test requires that the
mouthpiece be in the Closed-Circuit (CC) position in order to
pass. During this test, if the system does not detect the CC
position, the red LED and the vibrator on the Head-Up DIsplay
(HUD) will pulse continuously to signal the diver to adjust the
mouthpiece position.

1) Ensure mouthpiece is in OC mode; 2) Ensure oxygen cylinder valve is
connected and turned on, with sufcient pressure; 3) Ensure all connections,
seals, and o-rings for the breathing hose connections, Water Diversion
Manifolds, Electronics Module, and bottom cover of the gas processing unit
are attached and seated correctly; 4) Inspect for tears, cuts or punctures in
the counterlungs and breathing hoses; 5) If test failure persists in spite of a
sealed loop, contact an authorized Poseidon Service Center for repair.
1) Ensure dump valve on right counterlung is turned all the way clockwise;
2) Ensure oxygen cylinder valve is connected and turned on, with sufcient
pressure; 3) Inspect for tears, cuts or punctures in the counterlungs and
breathing hoses; 4) If test failure persists in spite of a sealed loop, contact
an authorized Poseidon Service Center for repair.
1) Ensure breathing loop is stable during test; 2) If test failure persists in spite
of a sealed and stable loop, contact an authorized Poseidon Service Center
for repair.
1) Ensure that the mouthpiece is fully in the CC position (sometimes requires
rm pressing on the mouthpiece lever); 2) Ensure that the HUD is properly
positioned on the top of the mouthpiece, and that the exhaust cover is
holding it tightly in place; 3) If test failure persists, contact an authorized
Poseidon Service Center for repair.
