WARNING: Archimedes II Cressi-sub computer has been
developed for sport diving use only. It is not intended for
commercial or professional use requiring longer dive times
and greater depths. Diving beyond the parameters of sport
diving dramatically increases the risk of decompression
sickness.
DANGER: Cressi-sub discourages diving with
gaseous mixtures other than air without proper training.
The use of “
technical
” multi-gas mixtures may expose the
diver to different risks than those of sport diving, including
serious physical damages and, in extreme cases, death.
WARNING: After a dive with Archimedes II set in
mod. (depth meter-timer). The instrument will
not make saturation and de-saturation computa-
tions during the following 48 hours.
DANGER: Should you decide to reset the instrument
by depressing button RESET on the back of the computer,
the nitrogen memory will be cancelled; therefore; the
instrument will not be able to compute a following dive.
Never use this function for at least 48 hours after the last
diving activity.
To go to program depress button B until the menu
is shown, then depress button C, which you may choose
Archimedes II DIVE/GAGE programs (Picture 7).
NOTE: Archimedes II computer is set at the factory on
program.
program will remain set until the diver changes the pro-
gram to be used.
In program, the INFO, PLAN and SIMU functions are swit-
ched off, while it is possible to set only a maximum depth
alarm which may be switched on or off by the user by setting
the instrument, following the same procedures shown in
chapter 2.5.1.
NOTE: In function the depth indicator gives indica-
tions between 0 – 655.8 ft..

2.5.1. - Maximum depth alarm
Archimedes II computer is equipped with a maximum depth
alarm preset at the factory (picture 8 a) on a value of 132 ft.
This is the limit of sport dives. When the function is on (ON)
(picture 8b), upon reaching the set maximum depth a sound
alarm will start and the display will flash for three seconds.
It is possible to switch on the alarm, or modify the maximum
depth, by depressing button B, then button A ( ), selecting,
in the following order, the dive’s parameters relating to:
PO2 Mix 1 -> FO2 Mix 1 -> PO2 Mix 2 -> FO2 Mix 2
-> Safety Factor -> Max Depth -> OFF/ON
While in Max Depth menu (picture 8 a), you may modify the
value of maximum depth from 0 – 325 ft., by depressing but-
ton C ( ). When you have set the desired depth, depress but-
ton A ( ) in order to switch on or off the depth alarm by means
of button C ( ). The computer is set at the factory on the
values of 132 ft. and OFF. Depressing button B (Mode) for seve-
ral seconds will return back to the normal display (picture 1).
