Uemis transmitters

[Scubacastor]

What type of divelights are you using doing cave diving ?

All transmitters are likely to drop out if you use HID divelight and to some extent big LEDs lights (with electronic drivers embedded - not small torch or backup lights). The electronics used for both type of lights generates electromag interference which tends to interfere with the tranmitter signal.

Thanks for the reply. I use a big LED light, nothing special, takes 8 C cells. Could be a cause, however have had dropouts during the day with no torch as well, and no low battery warnings for transmitters. They have not been used much and should have plenty of charge yet. I might change the batteries anyway just in case. I don't actually do any cave diving as such, more reef and wreck, however the first time I had dropouts was at a site called Fish Rock Cave, at South West Rocks, where a 120 metre tunnel runs right through an island, it's pretty cool. Some of the other divers ahead and behind me might have had HID lights.

my ikelite strobes seem to interfere with transmitters, I never lose signal whem I dont have my camera..........have over a hundred dives on my uemis........but........like you, I always have analog spg's just in case!

I use a salvo 10W HID with mine regularly and have no problems!
