More conservative (+2) Several risk factors or conditions exist. well Addition to personal setting EON Steel can be adjusted for diving at altitudes.
Suunto EON Steel User guide one. Important thing here is how algorithm (Suunto Fused RGBM) calculates the ascent time (during dive) using all these three gases. 5.4 Tank pressure EON Steel can be used with multiple Tank PODs. To pair a tank POD it needs to be first installed to the tank via your regulator set first phase. Open the tank valve and see that the green LED on tank POD is flashing. After this take the EON Steel close (5-20cm) to tank POD.
Suunto EON Steel User guide On dive main views only one tank pressure is shown and corresponds to the active gas chosen. Hence when gas is changed, the shown tank pressure is also changed accordingly. 5.5 User adjustable alarms There are three user configurable alarms: depth, dive time and tank pressure alarms. These alarm settings can be found on menu path “Menu > Dive settings > Alarms. Each of these alarms can be configured separately on or off and set the corresponding alarm limit.
Suunto EON Steel User guide 6 DURING DIVE NOTE: On depths greater than 1.2m/4ft EON Steel will start diving automatically. 6.1 Basic dive data Following display shows EON Steel tank pressure main view. It is chosen to illustrate what a diver can see during a dive on a display: Present depth is 19.0m Active gas is Nitrox 32% Dive time is 22 minutes Tank pressure left is 120 bars No decompression stop time is 50 minutes Safety stop is ahead at 3.0 metres 6.2 Bookmark bookmark TBD 6.
Suunto EON Steel User guide 6.4 Safety stops and deep stops A three (3) minute safety stop is always recommended for every dive over 10 meters. Safety stop is calculated down when diver is between 2.4 and 6 meters. This is presented with hourglass in front of the stop depth and safety stop calculation is shown in format m’ss. Safety stop might sometimes be more than 3 minutes and this is caused by too fast ascent on a dive. Deep stops activates when diver goes deeper than 20 meters.
Suunto EON Steel User guide 6.5 Timer EON Steel has stopwatch for various timing purposes. Short up –button press start/stops the timer. Pressing up –button for more than 2 seconds clears the timer. 6.6 Alarms, warnings and notifications EON Steel has alarms, warnings and notifications. They each are shown visually on display with audible alarm (if tones are set on). Alarms requires always immediate action from diver.
Suunto EON Steel User guide Warnings in EON Steel. Warning Explanation CNS100% Central nervous system toxicity level reaches 100% limit. OTU300 Recommended limit for OTU reached per one day. Safety stop broken Warning when safety stop depth is broken by more than 0.6m. Ascent speed Ascent speed is more than 10m/min for 5 secs. Depth Depth of the diver is bigger than user adjusted depth alarm limit. Dive time Dive time exceeds user adjusted dive time alarm limit.
Suunto EON Steel User guide 6.7 Decompression dives If you exceed no-decompression limit on a dive, EON Steel will provide the decompression information required for ascent. Ascent information is always presented with two (2) values: Ceiling depth that diver should not go above Optimum ascent time in minutes to surface with given gases Typical decompression dive display in EON Steel showing ascent time and first required deepstop at 20.
Suunto EON Steel User guide EON Steel display on decompression stop: EON Steel display on safety stop: NOTE: It is always recommended to keep close the decompression ceiling, if possible, when ascending. Ascent time is always the minimum time needed to reach the surface.
Suunto EON Steel User guide WARNING: Your actual ascent time may be longer, than displayed by EON Steel. It could be longer for following reasons: your ascending speed is slower than 10m/33ft per minute or you are doing decompression deeper than actual displayed ceiling. Take this into account, since it might increase the amount of required breathing gas to reach the surface. 6.
Suunto EON Steel User guide WARNING: When diving with multiple gases, remember that algorithm ascent time is always calculated with the assumption that diver uses all the gases found on gas menu. So always check that you have only gases used on a dive set before you dive and remove the ones that is not used.
Suunto EON Steel User guide 7 AFTER DIVING NOTE: When dive is surfaced and dive is continued within 5 minutes, then it is counted as one dive. 7.1 Surface & no fly time After a dive, EON Steel displays surface time from previous dive and has countdown for recommended no fly time. During no fly time, flying or traveling to higher altitude should be avoided. No fly time is always at least 12 hours or equivalent to desaturation time when it is more than 12 hours.

Suunto EON Steel User guide the exposure limits provided by the instrument to minimize the risk of DCS. As an added measure of safety, you should consult a physician regarding your fitness before diving. WARNING: SUUNTO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT SPORT DIVERS LIMIT THEIR MAXIMUM DEPTH TO 40 M/130 FT OR TO THE DEPTH CALCULATED BY THE COMPUTER BASED ON THE SELECTED O2% AND A MAXIMUM PO2 OF 1.4 BAR! Exposure to greater depths increases the risk of oxygen toxicity and decompression sickness.
Suunto EON Steel User guide Enriched air with greater oxygen content presents a risk of fire or explosion and serious injury or death. WARNING: THE DIVE COMPUTER WILL NOT ACCEPT FRACTIONAL PERCENTAGE VALUES OF OXYGEN CONCENTRATION. DO NOT ROUND UP FRACTIONAL PERCENTAGES! For example, 31.8% oxygen should be entered as 31%. Rounding up will cause nitrogen percentages to be understated and will affect decompression calculations.
Suunto EON Steel User guide WARNING: NEVER ASCEND ABOVE THE CEILING! You must not ascend above the ceiling during your decompression. In order to avoid doing so by accident, you should stay somewhat below the ceiling.
Suunto EON Steel User guide WARNING: Always use realistic SAC rates and conservative turn pressures during dive planning. Overly optimistic or erroneous gas planning can result in the exhaustion of breathing gas during decompression or in a cave or a wreck. WARNING: ENSURE THE WATER RESISTANCE OF THE DEVICE! Moisture inside the device and/or battery compartment may seriously damage the unit. Only an authorized SUUNTO service center should do service activities.
