bent my vytec

wedivebc · Oct 21, 2004

My computer got bent yesterday. Rookie mistake, I set it to air mode instead of nitrox so when I got to 70' to switch to 50% mix the computer didn't switch. No problem I was using VPM anyways so I just ignored the ceiling info. Now the manual says it's in permanent error mode.
Anyone know how to reset my computer or will it reset after a period of time?

I think most of them lock you out for 24 to 48 hours?...Manual should say which it is...

Didn't know you could set multiple gasses on that thing, nice............

It does three mixes 21-99% just doesn't seem to switch from air mode during the dive.

It will unlock after 48 hours or you can remove battery (i.e. battery contact) for a second.

Yep, it will reset in a day or two.

I find it's impossible to "bend" my Vyper these days, no matter what gas I happen to be breathing

Quite a few people keep Suuntos in Nitrox mode all the time and just dive air as 21%.

220fsw 15min using 50% deco gas . 60 min total run time VPM B conservatism +1
vytec set to air and told me I had 25 min of deco to do when I surfaced.
Couldn't go into nitrox mode because the beeping would drive me nuts. I should have used gauge mode.

I have an old Zeagle status 2 that I used before switching to a plain bottom timer and it never locks up. It will tell you that you're dead but it keeps on working. LOL
