DCP (Dive Control Parameter)
DYNAMIC PO
2
The EXPLORER is a dynamic PO
2
controller. This means it can vary the
PO
2
that it maintains based on the value of certain resources. A higher
DCP (Dive Control Parameter) value means less tissue loading (higher
PO
2
) but more gas usage and a lower PO
2
is the opposite. For a set DCP
the actual PO
2
will vary throughout the dive profile.
The DCP can be set to AUTO or MANUAL mode.
AUTO MODE
AUTO mode automatically adjusts the DCP throughout the dive to give the
best compromise between maximum NDL time and minimum gas usage
(Fig. 3.19). This defaults to 50% each time the unit is switched on.
!
NOTE: Auto Mode is the default. If on a dive where Manual Mode
has been selected and you then surface and complete the dive,
Auto Mode will be the default at the start of the next dive.
