5.7.1. Installing the wireless transmitter
When purchasing the Suunto D6i, we strongly recommend that you have your Suunto
representative attach the transmitter to the first stage of your regulator.
However, if you decide to attach it yourself, do the following:
1.
Remove the high pressure (HP) port plug on the first stage of your regulator using
an appropriate tool.
2.
Thread the high pressure transmitter of the Suunto D6i into the HP port of your
regulator with your fingers. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Maximum torque is 6 Nm/4.4
lbsft or 53 lbsin. The seal is based on a static O-ring, not force!
3.
Attach the regulator to the scuba cylinder and slowly open the valve. Check for
leaks by submerging the regulator first stage in water. If leaks are detected, check
the condition of the O-ring and sealing surfaces.
5.7.2. Pairing and code selection
In order to receive wireless data, the transmitter and the Suunto D6i need to be paired.
During the pairing procedure, the dive computer locks on the code that the transmitter
has.
The transmitter is activated when the pressure exceeds 15 bar/300 psi and it then
starts sending pressure data together with a code number. During the pairing procedure,
the Suunto dive computer stores the code number and starts displaying pressure
values that are received with that code. This coding procedure prevents data mix-up
from other divers also using a Suunto wireless transmitter.
