Odd behavior

Post by Olivier »

Hello Matthias & Christian,

For the third time in less than a month, my ostc has a very odd behavior with max depth and, today, min depth too... Let me explain: the first time happened when I tried 1.52, as described here. Since then onwards, I had twice the same problem: once as I was back to 1.50, and today for my first dive with 1.60.

Today arrived a new thing: during my dive, the ostc showed suddenly 0m, and after some seconds back to the current depht (44m).

Find enclosed some screen capture on my ostc (sorry for the bad pictures). You'll see how the logbook give me dives up to 109m and how the profiles are shown in the logbook (with a big space between real max depth and the bottom of the screen). I put the Jdivelog export of the three dive on a server, here (it was too big to join to the message, let me know when you get it). You'll see especially the third one which speak for itself...

I really don't know if it could be a unit-specific trouble (related to the pressure sensor ?) or a firmware bug... but please tell me what you think !

It'll be a pleasure to help you finding the problem if you let me know what I can do to help...

Regards

Olivier

Hello Olivier,

Even if this was only an intermittent problem we strongly recommend that we take a look at this unit in the pressure tank. This could be a defective pressure transducer, for example.

please contact us directly, we'll take care of this immediately: info@heinrichsweikamp.com

Regards,
Matthias

I'll do it right now, thank you very much. It really seems to be a unit specific trouble: I'm back from a new dive, same trouble again, that time the logbook gives me a dive to... 147 meters !

Thanks again for your prompt answer, I'll continue by email.
