1. - INTRODUCTION.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Archimedes II com-
puter. The Archimedes II is a sophisticated computer offering
numerous performance features which ensures the utmost
in performance, reliability and safety.

1.1. - Main specifications.

• Algorithm. The Bühlmann ZH-L8 algorithm has been refi-
ned by Randy Bohrer in order to make available a more
complicated RGBM program. The result is an algorithm
very similar to ZH-L16 which is less penalizing related to
water temperature and
• Tissues: 12 Tissues with saturation hemi-phases between
5 and 640 minutes;
• PROGRAM
Dive data full processing. During air or Nitrox dives (including
decompression dives) two different nitrox mixtures may be
utilized.
• Setting of mixtures. P02 can be set between 1.0 bar to 1.6
bar. FO2 settings between 21% to 50% and 21% to 99%.
• The Archimedes II will allow for a nitrox dive subsequent to
an air dive even during de-saturation.
• Possibility of PROGRAM setting (depthometer/timer)
• Large UFDS display system allows for ease in reading and
understanding of values.
• Replaceable display protecting screen
• Battery replacement by user
• Manual dive planning (Scrolling)
• Unit of measure changing from metric to feet and °C to °F.
• Sound and visual warning systems
• Nitrogen saturation graphic indicator
• CNS oxygen toxicity graphic indicator
exceeding ascent rates.
• Back-luminescent display
• Dive simulator (surface interval setting for a subsequent dive)
• Calendar and clock
• Logbook (30 h or 60 dives) including dive profile
• Dive historical memory
• Reset button allows for multi diver activity.
• PC interface (optional)
