PRE-DIVE CHECKS
With current technology, not all aspects of the safety and working nature
of the EXPLORER system can be performed or determined automatically.
Therefore, when turning on the EXPLORER, there are a series of pre-dive
checks that must be performed. The EXPLORER also gives guidance in
performing these checks. These checks are displayed in sequence on the
EXPLORER wrist display unit. Some of these checks rely completely on
the diver to perform them correctly – i.e. Close/open mouthpiece. Other
tests can be positively checked for by the electronics control system and
the user needs to confirm that these are OK to dive with – i.e. that the high
pressure cylinder is adequately filled.
Information regarding the current status of EXPLORER and all available
resources can be reviewed prior to conducting Pre-Dive Checks using the
STATUS screen.
DATA LOGGING
EXPLORER has a sophisticated data logging system that not only records
all the units’ sensors (depth, time, PO
2
; etc.) but also records any alarms
and error messages (such as missed Pre-dive checks). This information
can be retrieved through the data download software and is available in
detailed form to Hollis Service Technicians.
Users can obtain dive download software from http://hollis.com/support.

STATUS SCREEN
The EXPLORER has two levels of detailed information available to the diver.
The primary method is via the STATUS screen. There is an additional set of
STATUS screens in service mode, described in the section 6 of this chap-
ter.
The STATUS screen shows as soon as the EXPLORER is turned on (Fig.
3.1).
