Hello folks,
I just bought two Shearwater wireless transmitters for my Perdix. The transmitter manual says "WARNING: Transmitters marked EN 250 are certified for use with air only. Transmitters marked EN 13949 are certified for use with Nitrox only."
The Perdix manual says AI, as configured, is good for air and Nitrox up to 40%.
I don't want to buy a set for air and a separate set for Nitrox.
Should I assume these two marked EN 250 are good for air AND Nitrox up to 40% mix, or should I return these and buy a pair marked EN 13949 and use them with air too?
...ore return them and give up on this fancy transmitter idea altogether?
Also, I really bought two so I could monitor my wife's air as well. The manual says they are good for 1 meter of reception. Does this mean my wife's transmitter will only be useful if my wrist is within 1 meter of her transmitter? I saw some of the other models being marketed for up to 10 students in a classroom environment. Is this a completely unrealistic expectation to monitor my wife's air in this manner? Will it reconnect instantly if I swim close to her?
What are you guys finding in the field?
Thank you all in advance.
