AERIS Compumask - only displays "ALT"

GrayEdy · Jan 20, 2013

Has anyone seen this on their compumask? Following a dive I tried to download the data when I noticed it was still in dive mode and showing a dive time of 6:21. The computer would not go into PC mode. I left it for the night and since then all it dispalys is ALT. I have removed and replaced the battery but still the same result.
I have been unable to find any reference to an "ALT" display. If anyone else has had this issue, what fixed it?

I have a similar issue on my Oceanic Veo 250. Sometimes it will flash alt like your saying and won't work. Sometimes it will. I think my computer is slowly going south. I tried replacing the battery also with no luck!

sounds like a sensor calibration problem.
if the battery reset doesnt work its back to the shop.

I have noticed on mine too, if I turn it on while still on land, let it set for a lil bit, jump in, it will turn off. When I try turning it back on thats when ALT flashes. So I have to let it set for a little bit or go back to the surface then it comes back on like nothing has ever happened. I figured I'd post my experience due to the fact Oceanic and Aeris is the same company and both computers were out around the same time period so that made me think they probably have the same technology in them.

mala's right - ALT indicates an issue with the depth sensor calibration. If the reset doesn't work, it needs to come back for service.

Other than pulling the battery, is there another way to try and reset it?

No - you must remove the battery, keeping it out for at least 10 seconds.
