<div dir="ltr"><div>Jon for my boat, I have a pressure relief valve with a 1/2 psi cracking pressure to vent pressure while on the surface. I have a high cabin pressure alarm that triggers at 20 psia (5.3 psig) and a cabin lower pressure alarm set at 12 psia (-2.7 psig). In the PLC I also record and display the cabin pressure at the time the hatch is closed and log all alarm states every second. </div><div><br></div><div>I have never had either a high or low cabin pressure alarm while diving.

I think this is somewhat subjective but what is general consensus on maximum cabin pressure swing (higher/lower) relative to hatch closing at the start of a dive before setting off alarms? My thought is that an alarm should sound well before any point of emergency. I'm considering sounding a warning at 2psi +/- and an alarm at 4psi +/- but I'm not sure if this is too strict.<br>
