2. Covered by this Manual
This manual only covers operation of the wireless air
integration (AI) feature of the Perdix dive computer�
3. What is AI?
AI stands for Air Integration� On the Perdix AI, this refers to a
system that uses wireless transmitters (FIGURE 3) to measure
the gas pressure in a scuba tank and transmit this information
to the Perdix AI handset (FIGURE 2) for display and logging�
Data is transmitted using low-frequency (38kHz) radio
frequency communications� A receiver in the Perdix AI accepts
this data and formats it for display�
The communication is one-way� The transmitter sends data
to the Perdix AI handset, but the handset does not send any
data to the transmitter�
Although the feature is named “Air” Integration, other gas
mixtures can be used with the system as well� When using
gas mixtures with oxygen content above 40%, be sure to have
proper training on such mixtures, and follow proper cleaning
and material compatibility guidelines�
