DIVE MODES
Suunto Zoop Novo has the following dive modes:
• Air: for diving with regular air
• Nitrox: for diving using oxygen-enriched gas mixtures
• Gauge: for using the dive computer as a bottom timer
• Free: for freediving - The dive time is indicated in minutes and seconds in the center of the display. The free dive starts at 1.2 m (4 ft) and ends when your depth is less than 0.9 m (3 ft).
• Off: turns dive mode off completely; the dive computer does not automatically switch the dive mode when submerged and dive planning mode is hidden By default, Air mode is activated when you enter dive mode. You can change which mode is activated or turn dive mode on under the general settings.
DIVE PLANNING MODE
Dive planning mode The dive planning mode PLAN NoDeco can be used to plan a dive that does not require decompression. You enter the depth of your upcoming dive, and Suunto Zoop Novo calculates the maximum time you can stay at that depth without requiring decompression stops. The dive plan takes into account: • any calculated residual nitrogen • dive history from the past four days
GAS MIXES
There are two gas mixes allowed with the Suunto Zoop Novo, and the oxygen rates can be from 21%-50%.
TEMPERATURE
The water temperature is displayed in either centigrade or Fahrenheit. There is also a temperature compensated pressure sensor that is calibrated complying with EN 13319.
DISPLAY
The display is divided into three lines. It’s easy to read. The backlight has several timeout options. This is a great feature because it allows you to preserve the life of your dive battery. The timeout of the backlight ranges from 2 seconds through 60 seconds, giving you plenty of options to suit your needs.
BATTERY LIFE
The Suunto has a dive battery life estimate of 2 years. Suunto does not recommend that users replace the battery themselves because of the risk of water leaking into the battery compartment. The battery is user-replaceable. Although the manufacturer recommends you take it to a service station. You find instructions on how to do this in the owner’s manual.
ALARMS
The alarm system consists of both audio and visual alarms. Many low-level alarms are only audio and may consist of short beeps, or interval beeps to alert you to an issue that needs attention. More serious alerts combine audible beeps with activation of the backlight. For life-threatening alerts, you will hear continuous beeps, and the backlight will be activated. These life-threatening alerts can be when the maximum ascent rate of 10 m per second is violated or if the decompression ceiling depth is exceeded.
When the maximum depth or dive time gets exceeded, both visual and audial alarms are triggered. Nitrox has its own set of alarms to alert you of your maximum safe partial pressure of oxygen levels.
TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES
The algorithms used on the Suunto Zoop Novo is based on a reduced gradient bubble model. The RGBM predicts gas build-up in the blood and tissues of divers.
DIVE LOG HISTORY
Suunto Zoop Novo has a detailed logbook and dive history available in memory mode.
The logbook contains a sophisticated dive profile for each recorded dive. The time between each data point saved in the log is based on the configurable sample rate. Scuba dive history shows you a summary of the following:
• Dive hours
• Total number of dives
• Maximum depth
The scuba dive history records a maximum of 999 dives and 999 diving hours. When these limits are reached, the counters reset to zero
