Can anyone tell me, with actual knowledge, whether the Aeris Atmos Ai psi reading is spot on, or programmed to read 200 psi under the actual pressure as a safety measure?
My wife has one, so when we dive this weekend I'll use a pressure gauge at the shop to measure
the fill and then see what her AI reads once we connect up.
I checked out my wife's this past weekend by using the pressure gauge at DiveTech and
then checking the AI's reading once geared up. It was never more than 100psi off, and I'd
attribute some of that to transport/setup. I forgot to take it with me to the shop to check
directly - I'll try to check it out this weekend.
Have you tried this test at your LDS using a pressure checker and then connecting the reg? If so
and you're getting the same results, I'd definitely consider contacting Aeris about it. They've been
great to deal with the couple times I had issues (or suspected issues).
My wife has the Aeris AI. For my sanity I have also mounted an SPG on her regs so I can easily see how much air she has left. Frankly I've never noticed a difference between the spg and the computer. The computer is maybe 25-50psi low, but the spg markings are something like 100psi. I'd call that an acceptable margin of error.
