quent dive’s simulation, with de-saturation in progress.
Should the simulation be carried out with Nitrox mixtures,
refer to all information seen in the chapters dealing with Nitrox
mixtures; it is possible to simulate the mixture change as well
as in reality, by depressing button B for more than 5 seconds
(picture 37).
If you want to reset the simulator, depress buttons A+C one
after the other during the simulation itself.
NOTE: The simulation is carried out with the dive para-
meters set in (DIVE) function (see chapter 2.3.).
NOTE: The simulation is carried out at a speed six times
greater than the actual one. This equates to 10 seconds
on the simulator or the same as one real diving minute,
while the variations of depth are each m 2 (ft. 6).

Should the computer contain residual nitrogen (de-saturation
time is still in progress), Archimedes II allows modifying of the
surface interval in order to simulate a subsequent dive. As
noted in the previous chapter, the simulator program is ente-
red by repeatedly depressing button B (Mode), until the
( ) icon appears on the UFDS display (picture 35). The
display mode instructs you to set a new surface interval, by
means of UFDS display icons: by depressing button C ( ),
the surface interval will increase, while by depressing button
A ( ), the chosen value is confirmed. When this has been
done, Archimedes II will show the simulation display (pictu-
re.36), as seen in the previous chapter, allowing you to simu-
late a subsequent dive.

5. – CARE AND MAINTENANCE.
Archimedes II has been designed to operate in extreme con-
ditions with extensive underwater use. You should remember
that it is a precision instrument deserving appropriate care.
Please avoid any violent shock, protect it from extreme heat
sources, always wash it in fresh water after using, dry it care-
fully, do not store it wet, and avoid contact with heavy equip-
ment, like diving cylinders.
