About the Item

Aeris 500 AI Dive Computer

Aeris 500AI is an integrated system that will be installed into a high pressure port of your regulator first stage.
500AI presents the information that you need before, during, and after your air (or nitrox) dives using an intuitive combination of easy to read displays and unique identification icons. Tissue loading of nitrogen, accumulation of oxygen, and ascent rate are presented as segmented bar graphs beside color coded reference indicators that bring quick focus to these important status displays. In addition, tank pressure is displayed in graphic and numerical formats on the screen.
As you progress through this instructional guide, you will become familiar with all of the unique functions and features available and see examples of the displays that you could expect to see in the various operational modes. Refer to the Glossary of terms in the back of this manual, and keep the waterproof Review Card handy during your dive trips. Although it will require an initial investment of time to become acquainted with the various icons and bar graphs, you’ll soon agree that the 500AI is easy to understand and use.

Read and understand this owner’s guide thoroughly before using the 500AI.
