Safety and regulatory information for the Suunto EON Steel DW141 dive computer, covering intended use, safety warnings, pre-dive checks and personal settings.
This document is the safety and regulatory information for the Suunto EON Steel DW141 dive computer, a device intended for recreational scuba diving such as air, nitrox, trimix and CCR diving. It describes the product and its intended use, and states that the computer can be used alone or together with the Suunto Tank POD, which measures tank pressure and transmits the reading to the dive computer.
The document then lists the safety warnings and precautions for diving with the device, explains emergency ascent procedure, and gives a before-you-dive section with a ten-point dive computer pre-check. It also explains how to select the personal setting, the five personal levels and the risk factors that increase the possibility of decompression sickness, and notes the Gradient Factor adjustment used with the Bühlmann 16 GF algorithm.
| Intended use | Recreational diving, including air, nitrox, trimix and CCR diving |
|---|---|
| Maximum oxygen content of gas mix | 40% |
| USB adapter requirement | Must comply with IEC 62368-1 and have a maximum output of 5 V |
| Personal setting range | Five steps, from more aggressive (-2) to more conservative (+2) |
| Default Gradient Factor (Bühlmann 16 GF) | 30/70 |
| Low water temperature risk factor | Water temperature less than 20 °C (68 °F) |
| PPE classification with Tank POD | Personal Protective Equipment under EU Regulation 2016/425, PPE Risk Category III (a) |
Check that the computer is in the correct dive mode with a working display, that altitude, personal/gradient factor, deep stop and unit settings are correct, that the compass is calibrated and the battery is fully charged, and that all gauges and any Tank POD connections read correctly.
No. Suunto dive computers are intended for recreational use only, and Suunto strongly recommends not using the device for commercial or professional diving activities.
No. No part of the dive computer should be exposed to a gas mix containing more than 40% oxygen, because enriched air with greater oxygen content presents a risk of fire or explosion.
Only USB adapters that comply with the IEC 62368-1 standard and have a maximum output of 5 V.
