Warnings and Safety Considerations
5
• If you are unsure about the displayed
O
2
per-
centage: Repeat the measurement or check
the value with another system. For measure-
ments after filling the tank and before diving
always use two different measuring units.
• Check the OxySpy in air before each series of
measurements. If necessary, calibrate the
OxySpy. See page 5.
• Using pure oxygen or oxygen enriched gas
needs special safety measures! Please consi-
der the general safety considerations of using
pure oxygen or oxygen enriched gases!
• If the
O
2
sensor symbol is shown, the display-
ed values can be wrong.
• If the diver uses the wrong value of the gas
mixture he/she or the dive computer could cal-
culate insufficient decompression time (EAD
etc.) or oxygen toxicity (MOD, CNS% etc.).
Both situations could result in death or serious
injury.
• The maximum partial pressure of oxygen
(pp
O
2
limit) necessary for the calculation of the
maximum operation depth (MOD) should not
exceed 1.6 bar (the max. value for sports
divers). Higher values may result in death or
serious injury.
• Avoid risky situations which are marked in the
this manual with and .
• Do not use the OxySpy in pressure chambers.
• Do not submerge the OxySpy in water.
• The battery and the
O
2
sensor contain corrosi-
ve liquid. If the battery or
O
2
sensor leaks: Do
not let the liquid come into contact with skin,
eyes or mouth. If it does, flush the affected
area with water for at least 15 minutes. Consult
a doctor. Do not inhale vapor. Immediately
clean the leakage from the instrument with a
soft towel and dispose of the towel.
