3 2 the xdeep black eanx is an advanced dive computer, in which we have incor- porated cutting edge technology and high quality components from the world leading manufacturers. While creating the black eanx, we did our best to satisfy your expectations and make your dives safer and more pleasant. If...

15 14 the black eanx has four holes for bungee cord mounting: in order to install the bungee cord: 1. Tie a knot at the end of the cord. Next, thread the bungee cord through hole a so that the knot is placed from the display side. 2. Thread the end of the bungee cord through holes b, c and d. The le...

19 18 the black eanx has two buttons. Each of these buttons detects both a ‘quick press’ (under 0.5s) and ‘hold’ (over 0.5s). Button functions for the main screen, additional information screen and com- pass screen: in the menu, functions assigned to ‘hold’ are described on the screen: buttons hold ...

21 20 the black eanx enables operation in three operation modes: • gauge (bt) – measurement mode. The device does not calculate no-decom- pression time (ndl) and decompression stops. • air – air computer mode. The device shows ndl time and decompression stops using only air (21% of oxygen, 79% of ni...
Page 12
23 22 the black eanx is equipped with a water sensor that is activated automati- cally once in contact with water; therefore, it does not require to be turned on manually before entering the water. It enters diving mode at a depth of 1.5m. Water sensor was calibrated to detect both salt and fresh wa...
Page 13
25 24 the main screen of the device contains all basic information on the current situation of the dive: in the gauge (bt) mode, device shows average dive depth instead of ceiling. During the dive, in the main menu there are additional functions: allows switching of the currently used breathing gas ...
Page 14
27 26 while diving with the black eanx in gauge mode (bt), you can select one of three layouts of the main screen: full, simplified and minimal. The layouts differ from one another in terms of the amount of displayed information. Attention! If you begin the dive breathing a gas other than the primar...
Page 15
29 28 the „deco info” screen contains additional information related to diving, es- sential in particular for technical divers during decompression dives or divers using enriched air: in the upper part of the screen there is the name of the active gas. Below there is the following information: • ppo...
Page 16
31 30 after commencing the dive, the black eanx displays the remaining no-decom- pression time (ndl) in minutes. When the remaining no-decompression time amounts to less than 30s, the ndl value begins to blink to inform the user that the no-decompression limit will be exceeded very soon. Diving with...
Page 17
33 32 when during a dive, the no-decompression time limit is exceeded, the black eanx will automatically switch into decompression mode and instead of ndl it will display information on the nearest decompression stop: the stops are displayed at depths being the multiple of 3m (or 10 feet in case of ...
Page 18
35 34 for optimal decompression, it is necessary for the diver to remain within the stop zone during the entire time limit. The stop zone stretches between the current decompression ceiling and the displayed stop depth + 0.5m. Remaining below the stop depth will result in extending the stop time lim...
Page 19
37 36 after performing all decompression stops the device will display information “surface” which means that the diver can slowly ascend to the surface. For your own safety and good feeling after the dive, after the last stop it is recom- mended to ascent at the rate of 1m/min. After completing the...

39 38 at a depth of 0.5m, before reaching the gas switching depth the device will signal the need to switch gases in the upper line displaying the gas switching icon with the name of the gas which shall be switched to: the information about gas switching will be displayed for as long as the device i...
Page 21
41 40 after approving the gas switch, the black eanx will automatically return to the main screen and in the place where the decompression stop is normally displayed, the name of the gas that was activated will be displayed for three (3) seconds. It’s your obligation to verify whether this is the co...

43 42 the black eanx has the following alarms: the alarm can be turned off using ‘turn off alarm’ function available in the main menu. The fact that the alarm occurred is saved and indicated in the logbook. Alarm display 2/2 alarm is activated once a particular dive time is exceeded. Alarm is activa...
Page 23
45 44 the black eanx, like any other electronic device, may fail during a dive. We strongly advise against performing no-decompression dives with the use of only one device for measuring time and depth. Note that all recognized diving federations prohibit performing decompression dives with the use ...

49 48 the digital black eanx compass allows you to set the course (bearing lock) and then navigating it. In order to set the course, set the compass bearing, so that it is placed in the axis between you and the destination you wish to reach. Then select “lock bear- ing” in the compass context menu. ...
Page 26
51 50 the black eanx is equipped with a diving compass that is the first in the world to provide navigation by a set course list. This feature allows you to navigate easily in the water and visit all attractions successively. The course list contains the course and time necessary to cover a particul...

55 54 if the diver ascended when the device displayed the need to perform a decom- pression stop, the computer will be blocked for 24h and diving with it will not be possible. When blocked, the computer does still allow you to enter the logbook, settings and other functions. Information on blocking ...

63 62 black eanx during calculations with the use of buhlmann zhl-16c model + gf uses the idea of variable conservatism based on the so-called „gradient fac- tors” developed by eric c. Baker. Black eanx, depending on the operation mode, enables changing gf parameters in two ways: • in „air” and „ean...
