to our sophisticated line of dive computers. Small in size, but with
easy-to-read oversized digits,
bar graphs, and intuitive icons. Loaded with
features but still very user friendly with two operating buttons.

USER SETTINGS AND OPTIONS
Maximum PO2 Level (Nitrox)
When diving Nitrox, do you prefer your maximum PO2 exposure to be 1.2 ATA?
1.6 ATA? Depending on where you learned and your own personal comfort
zone, the answer may be very different from diver to diver. The XR-2 lets
you set your own limit. Program an audible alarm to sound at the level
that you prefer.
FO2 50% Default On/Off
Following a Nitrox dive, many dive computers calculate your next dive
based on a “worse-case scenario”, mix of 50% Oxygen and 79% Nitrogen
should you forget to reset your actual mix. With FO2 50% Default OFF, your
mix remains at the original set point until you change it again.
SAVE BATTERY POWER
Water Activation On/Off
Do you tend to keep your equipment in a wet dive bag longer than you
should? Are you an Instructor or Divemaster in an environment where your
gear is never dry? Would you like to disable the water activation feature?
Now you can.
Water or Manual Activation
Is it a good idea to check your computer before entering
the water? You bet. Could you forget to activate your computer? Sure. The
XR-2 features push-button or automatic activation, triggered by water
contact. A benefit of push-button activation is easily verifying
operation, but in case you forget, or simply choose not to activate your
computer, it can be as simple as jumping in the water.
Audible Alarms with Flashing LED Warning
Light
The XR-2 features a variety of system and user-customized audible alarms,
alerting you to situations that pose a potential danger, or simply serve
as a convenient reminder.
Air or Nitrox
The XR-2 acts simply as an ‘Air’ computer until you tell it otherwise,
whether that is this weekend or 2 years down the road. As your training
and experience grow, the XR-2 is designed to grow with you, being easily
programmed for Nitrox mixtures from 21% to 50%.
Extended Range Gauge Mode
Divers using advanced breathing gas mixtures or otherwise conducting
planned dives beyond the operational limits of the computer may utilize
the XR-2 as an advanced digital depth gauge and bottom timer with detailed
PC Interface.
Diving By The Colors
AERIS Dive Computers are designed with color-coded
bar graphs; grey, yellow and red. These graphs monitor three very
important diving parameters; nitrogen accumulation, oxygen loading and
your personal ascent rate. Pixels build up in each of these color-coded
areas to give you a quick, easy reference of these perameters. Proper
monitoring of these graphs allows you to select the personal degree of
conservatism you wish to build into each dive, putting you in control of
your margin of safety.
Automatic Safety Stop Prompt
A brief audible and visual alarm remind you as you approach 15 feet. An
automatic 3-minute timer counts down to zero. As in any other dive mode,
you still have access to other pieces of information, and there is no
penalty should you choose to disregard the safety stop.
Interactive Menu System
Speed through menu items and set modes easily and quickly with AERIS’s
intuitive dual button operation.
User Friendly Mode Icons
All AERIS computers feature bar graphs and universal icons that help you
to quickly understand the information displayed on the screen at a glance.
Diver-Replaceable Batteries
All AERIS computers feature diver replaceable batteries. This can be a
real trip-saver on board a live-aboard boat!
Variable Ascent Rate Indicator™
Some computers simply flash an icon, telling you that you’re ascending too
quickly. The XR-2’s Variable Ascent Rate Indicator bar graph acts as a
speedometer, allowing you to very precisely control your ascent rate via
the grey, yellow, and red bar graph.
Backlighting
The XR-2 features an intense bluish grey light that illuminates the entire
dial of the computer evenly at the push of a button. The backlight may be
activated either on the surface, or underwater and remains on for button
depression time plus the duration that you choose
.
Backlight
Duration
Would you like the backlight to shut off as soon as you release the
button? Would you rather it remain on for 0, 3, or 7 seconds? We don’t
need to make these decisions for you; it’s your choice.
24 Dive On-Unit Log Book
The XR-2 features on-unit data storage capacity for 240 dives. Date and
time stamp makes locating and viewing a specific dive quick and easy.
Optional Computer Interface
The XR-2 features a watertight, plug-in serial connection for fast and
reliable PC download. Feature-rich software provides intuitive post-dive
analysis and logging. You have the option to add and/or edit many pieces
of information to customize your log book, with data such as depth and
decompression status during a dive, maximum depth, bottom time,
no-decompression status, descent and ascent rate, surface interval, and
any violations recorded automatically.
Advanced Dive Planning Simulator
While AERIS manuals and cue cards are simple to understand, some people
learn better through hands-on experience. The on-unit Simulator Mode
allows you to run the XR-2 through actual dive profiles including Air
Dive, Nitrox, Gauge Mode, and Decompression. You will see the dive happen
on the screen as you would in the water.
While this is not a substitute for
reading and understanding your Owners Guide, it provides detailed dive
planning, is an excellent auxiliary learning tool, and it is a great way
to refresh your memory on the way to the dive site, particularly if you
have not been diving for a while. A side benefit is that you can always
show your dive buddy what a cool new dive computer you have!
Split Set Mode Access
With a computer as advanced as the XR-2, you have many options to
personalize it just the way you want. We have split the set mode into two
separate menus. Set Mode 1 includes Nitrox mix, maximum depth alarm, and
other options that may change from dive to dive. Set Mode 2 includes units
of measurement, PC sampling rate, and other personal preferences that will
most likely be set once and forgotten. |
