Süß-/Salzwasser

Wie erkennt der Mk.2 den Unterschied zwischen Süß- und Salzwasser
bzw. was muss man einstellen, um dem Mk.2 das zuzuweisen?

nemo,

if I understood well you would like to know how to change from fresh to salt water (Süß- und Salzwasser). You have to change the salinity in the setup menu: 1.00 Kg/l in fresh (lake), then up to 1.04 Kg/l is salt water (sea).


Google trsl:
"wenn ich Sie richtig verstanden würde gerne wissen, wie man aus frischen Salzwasser (Süß-und Salzwasser) zu ändern. Sie müssen den Salzgehalt im Setup-Menü ändern: 1,00 kg / l in Süß-(See), dann bis zu 1,04 kg / l Salzwasser (Meer)."

Does anyone have an fair idea of salinity to set:

* In Mediterranea ?
* In Egypte / Red See ?
* Or in other specific area...

Thanks.

Hi mate,

Google is your friend for that.

BTW, I don't know how complex or beneficial it may be but my local salinity seems to have an average of 1.036 so 1.03 or 1.04 are neither here nor there.

Also my bottom timer and the uwatec seem to be calibrated at 0.015.

Based on dividing the depth of the bottom timer over the depth of the OSTC adjusted to salinity 1.00 or [bottom timer reading/(OSTC reading/OSTC salinity setting)]

Therefore it could possibly beneficial to add a bigger range to cater for the red sea (1.05) and to do it in 0.005 increments (so those that want to match their bottom timers are able to do it)

Just food for thought
