[PSUBS-MAILIST] Altimeter / barometer/ inclinometer

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 David, I have a similar set up in E3000.  I have two not so fancy altimeters.  One is redundant.  I don't see why it matters what the pressure is.  The instrument is there to tell you if the pressure is increasing or decreasing.  It does look more cool though with psi on it.  Mine are mounted to the hull with magnets (Brian got me hooked on magnets)  so I rotate the face to zero then rotate the altimeter so the needle is pointing strait up.  This makes it real obvious when there is a pressure change.Hank

 Hi Tim, thats what intrigued me about this unit. Not to mention it had the inclinometer also. The thing I have been thinking is how to set psi chart and to use the rotating dial to set the altitude.David

David,

Do you plan to just zero the altimeter just prior to hatch closing? Makes sense.

Hi guys, just got my altimeter for the SeaQuestor, which has a built in inclinometer. The dial face can rotate for altitude variance for diving at sea level or lake tahoe(elev 6225ft). The dial face can be set to determine if the barometric pressure is rising or falling. I am thinking to add Alex Smyth's label to be located between the altitude  and the orange  dial. Any thoughts about this? 

David.
